Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Kenyans are being conned left, right and centre. If you are not being conned of your title deed, you are being conned of an education scholarship. The issue of title deeds is of serious concern because it breaches the constitutional right to ownership of property;...

Sen. Osotsi is a former immediate nominated Member under Amani National Congress (ANC) although he ended up fighting the Party and the Party Leader. He is new in terms of boundaries of Vihiga County. There is a Musasa in Kabwareng’ Ward, where his opponent almost trounced and vanquished him into...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, since I cannot recall the part of the statement, maybe it can be struck out. The part--- Where you are inviting the Government to bedrooms to sire--- Oh! My apologies. I made that statement in jest. I withdraw.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was welcoming my younger brother, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, back to the House. He is still learning the ropes. I am happy he has not joined the bandwagon. Azimio One Kenya Alliance, except my sister, are strategically boycotting the House. I can assure them they will...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Petition brought by Sen. Cheruiyot, the Senator for Kericho County and the Senate Majority Leader, is serious.

Bw. Spika, nimesikia Sen. Mwaruma akisema ati mke akifa, unaeza oa mwingine, ashakum si matusi? Kwani anamaanisha maisha yalipotezwa si muhimu sababu unaeza kuoa na kzaa mtoto mwingine? Hiyo ni heshima? Kulingana na Ibara ya Katiba, maisha ni muhimu na huanza kutoka kuchukua mimba kwa mama. Maneno yake hayaambatani na...

Ndio, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Kama ulisema hivyo, tafadhali futilia mbali kutoka kwa rekodi yetu. Bw. Spika wa Muda, ninaomba kuchangia. Sijui neno ‘conception’ linasemwa vipi kwa lugha ya Kiswahili. Mwenzangu anazidi kunipoteza anaposema maisha yanaanza wakati wa kutunga mimba. Nilifikiria yanaanza wakati wa ‘conception.’ ‘Conception’ inamaanisha wakati mwanamume na...

Bw. Spika wa Muda, ninakubaliana na Seneta wa ndume kutoka Kaunti ya Kakamega, kwamba maisha yanaanza wakati mbegu ya mwanamke na mwanaume zinapokutana. Kwa heshima kubwa, ninaomba HANSARD irekebishe matamshi hayo.

This is a very serious issue that goes beyond this Statement. Some individuals within KRA must face the full force of the law. This is because this issue of tax relief was a noble idea, but it was misused along the way.Therefore, looking at our budget, you have seen the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr) Khalwale is a man of wisdom. When we were growing up, he used to inspire some of us by the fiery and vibrant debates on the Floor of the House

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to comment and congratulate Sen. Mungatana, MGH, the famous mla mamba. He is doing extremely very well, considering he is a seasoned Parliamentarian. I want to pick it up from where my brother and bishop, Sen. Wambua, has just left....

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am properly informed by bishop Sen. Wambua. I agree. Even if it is not the Senator himself, the representative of the Senator can chair. We need to be careful. We are edging ourselves from the real issues of wananchi. As we draft the law, we must...

Madam Temporary Speaker, all of us are still learning and as the Speaker said, he is lucky. Lastly, I request an amendment to Clause 7, to have a reporting mechanism to Parliament. These are billions of shillings and the KRA will be collecting royalties. This is part of Own-Source Revenue...

Pia Waislamu. .

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I support the Motion by Sen. Wambua. We need to move forward. The Supreme Court decision was hot air, uncultured and uncouth. .I thank the President and the Deputy President for saying that the Government of Kenya shall not allow issues of...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to pick it up from where Sen. Okiya Omtatah has stopped. If we continue becoming tenants in our country, we risk IMF Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) that other countries do not get from the IMF. The issue of public debt is well captured...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the point of order that has been raised under Standing Order 65 by the Majority Whip is within his right. We are aware in the Constitution of Kenya, under Article 1 (2) that the people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I will be very quick. I heard in the Statement that Ethiopian military crossed the borders into Kenya in Sololo. They came for a party and went away. No one is talking about it. This is very serious. Riding on that Statement, what are the Cabinet Secretaries...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the outset, I support this Motion. There is nothing much that can be said about hon. Muthama. He was our immediate former chairperson of UDA, which he ceded to Gov. Cecily Mbarire. Talking about his Curriculum Vitae (CV) , I have gone to the...

Madam Temporary Speaker, Article 127 (6) of the Constitution gives the power the PSC to provide facilities to Members.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. My comment is only one minute to seek further clarification. We need to know why the direction that doctors are not supposed to travel was given and the number of doctors in the country that are qualified yet are unemployed. Finally, you remember there...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I congratulate Sen. Mungatana, for this wonderful Bill. I think legislation is a continuous process to improve our efficiency and effectiveness in terms of our cardinal duty. As the Constitution says that we derive our authority from the people. That authority...

Mla mwamba.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, did you hear what Sen. Cherarkey said? He said you look like a Talai. Unless he describes who those people are. He should clarify so that it can be on record that he said Maumau were compensated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be better if...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to my brother Sen. Kinyua, Talai, in our community are feared people and they are very Solomonic. What you have done today by forgiving the four colleagues needed Solomonic wisdom and patience that you exercised today. I believe that is what I meant. I said ‘look...

Okay Madam Temporary Speaker. The people who boycotted the House should be here because they are here for this reason. Of course, I understand. They need to be here so that we dispense it off. Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, the governors are not going to hide anywhere when it comes...
