The circumstances...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker. You finished reading your statement and that is the end of the matter. Thank you very much. Hon. Speaker, it is very painful for me. Hon. Patrick, you have already presented the statement that I approved for you to present to the House. Hon. Speaker,...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Even before I speak, I urge my honourable colleagues to allow me to bring in some perspectives that will help all of us. In my language, we say that the bereaved does not speak much. I want to bring some history today about the Mavoko...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, as we speak here, the Ministry of Lands must be held culpable. Why did they issue two titles for one parcel of land? Why was the County Government approving the houses with the same title deeds? We know it is the Government that issues title deeds. It...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to welcome the Athi River High School, this is the best school in Mavoko with a mean score of about seven. They are accompanied by their Principal, Mr. Kariuki, and their ten teachers. I am aware the students are going to sit for their...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With a lot of respect to the Leader of the Majority Party, he has said that there is a ‘legitimate elected President’. Is he insinuating that we have another illegitimately elected President? (Laughter)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have listened to the Chair on this Report. Considering where I sit, as a Commissioner of Parliamentary Service Commission, I seek your advice that borders on conflict of interest before I make my contribution. I am a consumer of the same Report and I...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand guided. I agree with this Report that we annul these Draft Regulations. The SRC has elevated itself to a status of a prefect of all commissions and civil servants in the country. The Chair has put clearly the mandate of the SRC. However,...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am quite sorry. I have just received the same complaints from Hon. Wangwe this afternoon. I spoke to the security manager of the institution and we have agreed that there was a security hitch yesterday and that is why the route through the Police Station...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairperson. I wish to amend the Second Schedule as it appears on the Order Paper. THAT, the Second Schedule be amended in respect of Vote R2042 (The National Assembly) -

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I cannot add more since many speakers have spoken. This Parliament is the most important arm of this Government. We cannot allow the courts to legislate from their benches. Article 11 is very explicit about respecting African traditions and cultures. The Supreme Court, which is...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this chance. The petitioner is very right. Mavoko happens to be one of the beneficiaries of these housing schemes. I agree if housing schemes are meant for the poor, let them be theirs. A case in point in Mavoko is Mlolongo Phase 3, where the...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

On a point of order. I am not entertaining any more points of order on that issue. Who is raising a point of order? Yes, Hon. Makau. Yesterday, the Kamba nation celebrated when we saw on social media a Mr Joseph Mutavi nominated as Principal Secretary. I just want to...

I thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Allow me to congratulate you on being elected Speaker of this House. I want to address the issue of Committees. It is the reason why most Members are standing near our Whip. We heard what the Leader of the Majority...
