MUHIA WANJIKU

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Senior Counsel has put it very well, but just for the record, the mission of the community is to widen and deepen the economic, political, social and cultural integration. But one Member in Juba indicated that it is also to tighten, which I have no problem...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this matter. I once said in this House that we need to re-look at the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act. We may need to amend the Act so that anytime the country decides to borrow funds, the...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Considering the weighty business in the House, especially the Supplementary Budget, the many reports queuing on the line, the interest of recess, and the fact that we need to conclude all the businesses before we close the year, I beg to second. (Question proposed)

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the onset, I support this Speech. As a Member who hails from Nyandarua County, I appreciate the fertiliser subsidy because Nyandarua County is one of the food baskets in our country. Many Members have spoken on different issues. It is not right to say...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I would like to start by congratulating the Committee for a job very well done and also notify the House that the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations works very closely with my Committee. I serve in...

Hon. Speaker, I was trying to catch your eye on the same Motion. I wanted to request that you fast-track the business of chairpersons who are always in the House. Their business is always scheduled towards the end of the Order Paper. For instance, this Report was tabled back in...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. May I beg, if you allow me, to give Hon. Karemba and Hon. (Eng.) Kiragu one minute each? Hon. Wanjiku, you have 10 minutes. You are allowed to donate some minutes. I will allow you to donate. Did you say one or two minutes? I...

Yes.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On a light note, we have able men in my Committee. Hon. Japheth is a Member. The Vice- Chairperson is Hon. Farah Salah. We have Hon. Zaheer and Hon. Salasya too. If the Info-Track report is anything to go by, the top 10 men were...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have looked at this Sessional Paper, which I support. I have not seen the issue of persons with disabilities come out very conspicuously. When you look at different topics, the issue of persons with disabilities has been put under vulnerable persons where they have...

Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Select Committee on Regional Integration on a study visit to the

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Select Committee on Regional Integration on the Study Visit to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Headquarters in Lusaka, Zambia, laid on the Table of the House on...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Examination matters are serious. What the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has alluded to is great but not practical. I will give an example of my constituency. From one sub-county to where it is said is the middle, unless the examinations are taken by a...

On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Member for Kipipiri, what is your point of order? Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order regarding the order of business today, which has Motion No.22 on inspection of various one- stop border posts in the Northern Corridor of...

If it is practical, I would prefer today. It is in the Order Paper, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, I support the debate in the House today. All things remaining constant, even when there is a statutory insurance requirement, the level of confidence in insurance matters is very low. It means that this institution has to build and rebuild itself to...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to welcome all our guests seated in the Public Gallery and Speakers’ Gallery. In a special way, I welcome the university students from Kipipiri Constituency who scored straight Grade A in the KCSE. They are an inspiration to other students. I...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. What is out of order, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia, Member for Kipipiri? Please pass the microphone to her. Thank you Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise pursuant to Standing Order 95. Looking at the debate, everyone agrees that a matter like this without public...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Just for the information of the House, I had stepped outside because there are some unusual things at the gate of Parliament where the deaf community is gathering claiming to see all of you, but I have attempted to see them on your behalf because...

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker: Hon. Muhia, what is the point of order? Hon. Speaker, I am, indeed, sad that the Cabinet Secretary is not answering the direct question of flagging off these children and welcoming them. My point of order is that he may not...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sad because we are discussing people with special needs. When we speak in this House, and I believe Special Olympics International is watching, presenting contrary facts is a bit disheartening. The Cabinet Secretary has said that he provided money for accommodation, which is far...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) There is a point of order from Hon. Wanjiku. Hon. Temporary Speaker, is the Hon. Member in order to refer to the discussion here as ‘hot air from social media’ when we know that the Special...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Looking at the mood of the House, I will restrain myself to only two things. First, investors have shied away from getting into PPPs with the Government because there is no clarity on the roles and the costs for each party. I hope we will...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second this Motion, happier knowing that the Speaker from the United Republic of Tanzania is the forerunner expected to take the seat. I am hoping that Members from East Africa— Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda, the United Republic of Tanzania itself, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of...
