THAT, this House resolves to exempt the business appearing as Order Nos.9, 10, 11 and 12 in today’s Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Order 40 (3) , being a Wednesday morning, a day allocated for business not sponsored by the Majority or Minority Party, or business sponsored by...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Orders 28 (4) (Calendar of the House) and 30 (3) (c) (Hours of Meeting) , this House resolves to commence the short recess on Tuesday, 22nd October 2024 and hold Sittings on Friday,...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I commit to whip the Chairperson of the relevant Committee. With my push, I promise that we will get the answer once we resume from recess. This will be about two weeks from now.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I am just holding brief for the Chairperson. I do not want to make a commitment to Hon Kamene that I will not deliver. Please, allow me to push the Member to respond in two weeks’ time. It is not a very long time, Hon Kamene. When...

Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Speaker. In the absence of the Chairman and any Member of the Committee, I make an undertaking that the Member will get a response once we resume from recess.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join the Members who have spoken before me in congratulating the Mediation Committee for the very good work it has done on the Water (Amendment) Bill. It is important for Members to appreciate that the particular clauses that have been reviewed, and...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I was concluding my comments on the good work that the Mediation Committee has done. I agree with Hon. Jared Okello that there is nothing much that can be done about the mediated version of this Bill. I just want to commend them...

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

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. What is your point of order, Hon. Osoro? Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. While I appreciate the proposed amendment by Hon. Sam Atandi, I propose that we adjourn its consideration because the Chairman of the Committee on Delegated Legislation is...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the Senate amendments to the Food and Feed Safety Control Coordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023) , be now considered. I thank the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock for its consideration of the Senate Amendments to the Food and...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I want to appreciate the Members for unanimously supporting the Motion on the Senate Amendments to the Food and Feed Safety Control Coordination Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2023) . It is, indeed, an opportune time. The Motion could not have come...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is one of the Bills that has also found its way in this House quite timely. The question of subsidiary legislation has over the years been misused and abused because of that slight lacuna that really existed between several competing interests. One...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I want to state that I support this Motion entirely without proposing to put a comma or full stop on any ground that has been placed here. I want to remind the Hon. Members that the United States of America President,...

Hon. Speaker, I refer the Hon. Member to pages 16 to 30 of this very Motion that was tabled in this House, and these are facts. I have also said that on this particular matter, the threshold is two-thirds, and we are also working on the balance of probability. We...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 97 (1) and notwithstanding the Resolution of the House of 14th February 2024, this House orders that each speech in a debate on a Special Motion under...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I had to make this very special request, which is again unprecedented in this House, to welcome very special guests to me. Mr. Moenga Onchweri picked me from the streets and took me to school upon the demise of my parents. (Applause)

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Majority Whip, what is your point of order? Hon. Speaker, I also seek your guidance and indulgence on the notice of Motion that has just been tabled here today. We all agree that post 2010 Constitution, this is unprecedented. As much as it...

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Go ahead. I am holding brief for the Leader of the Majority Party for the usual Thursday Statement. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provision of Standing Order No.42 (2) (a) , I rise to give the following Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to associate myself with the sentiments that have been made by my colleagues. I want to delve so much on the judgement that was delivered last week because I have actually gone through it. I am against it because it...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is in line with what Hon. Keynan has brought before this House. About four weeks ago, my driver had a very chilling experience with his first-born daughter. She got lost and has not been traced for the past four weeks. She was picked by some people...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in supporting the Committee’s Report on the nomination of Mr. Douglas Kanja Kirocho. This is a rare occasion where a career officer is being supported across the political divide. It is quite shocking that a police officer is receiving...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not understand the validity of that point of order. I was simply making my case to the effect that in the Public Service, if I am called upon by any senior officer in Government to attend a meeting and I opt to send...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also join Hon. Alfah Miruka in condoling with the family of the late Hon. Simon Ogari who served in this House for two consecutive terms. He led a constituency called Bomachoge, which borders my constituency. During his time as a Member of Parliament, many people...

I second. (Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo and Hon. Beatrice Elachi stood up in their places)

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Report of the Committee. I want to single out some few nominees whom I watched and learnt something. The nomination of Hon. Ali Hassan Joho is an inspiration to many young people out there who may have lost...
