Sen. (Dr.) Oburu, you may proceed.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order. I have just perused through a report that has been tabled before the House by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. It is a progress report on the operational and leadership crisis affecting the County Assembly...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.52 to seek further directions from the Office of the Speaker. On 1st April, 2025, I raised a Statement concerning the divisions within the County Assembly of Nyamira. After I brought that matter to the attention of the House, your...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, not to challenge your directive, but I thought if you make a communication, that can be sent to the Chairperson. Since you said you want to get a progress report, and from where I sit, I cannot give a progress report, let us wait for the...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week on 1st April, 2025, I raised a Statement on the--- (Sen. Cherarkey consulted Sen. Abass)

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Last week on 1st April, 2025, I raised a Statement under Standing Order No.53 (1) before the House on the happenings within the County Assembly of Nyamira County. It was on the division that had led to the creation of two factions of county...

Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to contribute to two Statements. I would like to start with the one by Hon. Chute. As noted by the Senator of Marsabit County, there has been a lot of developments that have taken place in the counties, according to the reports...

Proceed.

Yes, I want to inform my neighbour, the good Senator of Kericho, that the official premises of the County Assembly of Nyamira have not been broken into. They are functional. One faction of the Assembly sits there. Even last week, after the appearance before the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC)...

training farmers and doing public participation activities. However, when you look at those photos, it is like he took Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) worshipers attending church under trees and he says that this is public participation. Then, he hides the images of the participants because he does not want us...

Mr. Speaker, the only thing I wanted you to note is that this report captures all the 47 counties. So, there is no county that can say that their issues are not captured. All the counties are addressed in the report that was tabled by Sen. Kajwang’. Maybe the next,...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to comment on the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda on the proposed 10 per cent land rate policy. At a time when Kenyans are already crying because of heavy taxation, our governors are increasing rates. If you have not received rates for your properties...

Sen. Boni, what is your point of order? [The Speaker (Hon. Kingi) left the Chair] [The Temporary Speaker (Sen. Wakili Sigei) in the Chair]

So, we need to make clear to Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that, in India, what is in Article 368 of the Indian Constitution, at least going by the Supreme Court's ruling in the Supreme Court of India in 1973, in their Constitution, you cannot do any amendments touching on for instance...

should not be a debate for Members of the National Assembly to say that NG-CDF must be entrenched in the Constitution and that they will be the only people in Parliament who will deal with the issue of allocating the budget for those offices. If we do that, future generations...

So let us also try to incorporate digitization and technology in this Bill so that maybe we expand our cable network to our counties. From counties, it goes to sub-counties so that people in Osamaru Ward, in West Mugirango Constituency in Nyamira can be connected to the internet and their...

Sen. Boni should withdraw the remarks he made while concluding. You cannot say that you are “moving.”

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to also make a contribution to this important Bill - The Heritage and Museums Bill of 2023. The Swahili say that muacha mila ni mtumwa. If you have traveled around the world, you will realize that many countries...

On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the good Senator of Nandi County. He has made a very good statement that we should not tolerate rapists. However, I want him to consider advising our young girls to remain pure and not to tell them that if they are approached...

One case is Ms. Moraa from Kisii, another one is in Mr. Njuki. As we speak today, our interns have not been paid their arrears of Kshs206,000 for the month of August, September, October, November, December, 2024. How do these young professionals survive?As we speak today, there is a tussle...

You can inform me. I accept.

Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reports we are getting is that most of our private hospitals are not accepting the SHA/ SHIF cards in many of our hospitals and we know it. I am speaking for the lowly of the lowly Kenyan, the person who paid Kshs300 to access...

Madam Temporary Speaker, what has happened this afternoon is very important. That is about how we will be conducting our business, especially those who are not analogue. We have the likes of Omtatah who have gone digital. We have Standing Order No.265 that is supposed to guide us. He raised...

You can give me the chance because I have risen. I wish to contribute to the Motion.

This SHA thing is a problem. In some counties, like Nyamira, we are burying people on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We used to do burials only on Friday. We represent our people. We cannot sit here and shut our mouths from some of these issues.Finally, is the impact of...

Bw. Naibu Spika, nilipokea kwa huzuni taarifa za kifo cha Mhe. Malulu Injendi aliyekuwa Mbunge wa Malava katika Kaunti ya Kakamega. Mwanzoni Mhe.
