I will get hold of the Chair and the Committee. In the first week after recess, we will be able to have the answer.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration is not in today. I have just received a letter signed by Dr Raymond Omollo, who is the Principal Secretary. If you allow me to quote it says that he acknowledges receipt of the letter after...

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill by Hon. Chepkonga and Hon. (Dr) Otiende Amollo that seeks to entrench the NG-CDF, the NGAAF, and the Senate Oversight Fund in the Constitution. This country has come of age. Those who served before us in...

Thank you for giving me this opportunity to air my views. (Hon. Joyce Kamene spoke off the record) Order, Mama Machakos. Yes, Hon. Osoro. I have not lived for long in this planet Earth. It is just nearly about four decades. I have lived in the Mount Kenya region for...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As the Leader of the Majority Party has rightly put, looking at the calendar of this House, we will proceed on recess from Thursday. So, it is quite in order for us to dispense with the very serious business before us as we discussed...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill on the question of sharing of equitable revenue. It is about time we got a practical solution to these shareables. As we look at the national cake and how to share it across the country, we also...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following papers on the Table:

Hon. Speaker, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is on his way. We may skip a little, and the Leader of the Majority Party will arrive a little late today. However, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party is present.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is a growing trend in this House. If not tamed, it will mess the integrity of this House. Nobody should be seen walking or moving around when the Temporary Speaker is on her feet. Hon. Wamboka is out of order. He has been walking around picking...

Hoja ya nidhamu.

Mhe. Spika wa Muda, ningependa kufahamisha Mhe. Rachael kwamba hatusemi “Kiingereza mingi,” tunasema “Kiingereza kingi.” Hatusemi kwamba Kiswahili kimemshinda, bali lugha ya Kiswahili imemlemea. Kwa hivyo, ni muhimu kuzingatia matamshi sahihi katika ngeli unapozungumza kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Ni lazima uelewe kwamba kuna ngeli na muktadha wa kufuata, ndipo utaweza...

Mhe. Spika wa Muda. Mhe. Silvanus Osoro, hoja ya nidhamu au ya ufahamisho? Lazima pia mzingatie kwamba Waheshimiwa wamemchanganya Spika kwa kuzungumza Kiswahili. Hoja ya kufahamisha. Mheshimiwa Spika haelewi misamiati, ngeli na hayo mambo yote. Kweli kabisa. Nikiendelea

Thank you very, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I also join the rest… The Temporary Chairman (Hon. David Ochieng’) : Hon. Kaluma, can you say what is out of order?

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I also feel that the IPOA is expected to do so much by the public, even by the police themselves but, with meagre resources, that cannot help them mitigate the challenges that they have. I also must appreciate the fact that I have heard several matters, sometimes...

Hon. Temporary Chairman, I must appreciate that this has been a progressive appreciation of the Judiciary budget over the years. Looking at a similar vote last year, I must confirm that we have increased the budget to a substantial percentage, but one thing that is very clear about the Judiciary...

It is the same governors who are sponsoring cases against this House. The National Council Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) case was sponsored by the Council of Governors. Even the RMLF case, they are the ones sponsoring it. There is no problem if they fail to show up for the ADR...
