Hon. Deputy Speaker, Kshs10.7 million was raised but the only issue which was spoken more than 100 times was about Hon. Duale and the Deputy President, William Ruto. As a politician, I am organising a fund raiser after Ramadhan in Lamu, courtesy of the leadership there where I will raise Kshs20 million and say whatever I want to say. Hon. Rehema will be part of the delegation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

In his own words, “the path to lasting cohesion and decent jobs for our people can only be achieved in an environment where there is fairness and integrity and the rule of law is observed by all citizens without exception”.

24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
The President reiterated his commitment to the realisation of the Big Four Agenda. He called on Parliament to play its constitutional and legislative roles in achieving the President’s transformation agenda for this country. In the previous President's Address, which he made on 2nd May 2018, this was also a very steadfast commitment by him. As Parliament, and in particular the National Assembly, we have passed all the laws that are relevant to the achievement of the Big Four Agenda, namely, the Housing Fund, the universal healthcare, manufacturing and taxation laws. As the National Assembly, we take the credit. That is ...

The President also applauded Parliament, especially the National Assembly for the passage of over 22 Bills last year which were enacted into Acts of Parliament. The President, too, commended Parliament for the passage of a very important piece of legislation that established the Kenya Coast Guard Service Act, which established our first and the only one in the region, a coast guard service. We are the pioneers in East Africa, Southern Africa and West Africa in establishing the Kenya Coast Guard Service.

The House dealt with the Petroleum Act, the Energy Act and the National Youth Service Act, which today has a council that is independent of other arms of Government to make sure that the resources of the National Youth Service (NYS) as appropriated by this House are protected.

24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
We take note of the President’s intention to present the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill. If it is introduced in the House, it will establish a fund and provide a legal framework in order to guide investment of revenue from oil, gas, minerals and, of course, other natural resources. The Sovereign Wealth Fund will tell us how much, for instance, Turkana, Garissa, Taveta and other regions will get, if they have minerals. So, we ask the Office of the Attorney-General and the Cabinet Office to fast track the Sovereign Wealth Fund Bill and bring it to Parliament during this Session.

24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
The President has also underscored the progress realised in the past year. Kenya ratified three multilateral treaties to enhance market access for Kenyan products in some countries including China and to share critical information and create jobs. The President boldly stated that there will be no turning back on the war against corruption and impunity. But the President also agreed with the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya as the head of the Judiciary, that people who are arraigned in court will be convicted based on evidence and facts and not on media propaganda or what the President called, ...

24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
a hundred times, that will not make me guilty. The President said that we should fight the war against corruption with facts, evidence and allow the investigative agencies, which are only answerable to this House - the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), in my opinion, is not answerable to the Senate - to do their work. The EACC, the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) are answerable to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and its Members, on behalf of the 349 of us. They appropriate money on their behalf or give them more resources in ...

24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly:
We support the President in the war against corruption and support the institutions that deal with it. Let us not execute corruption issues in the media. Let us not create perceptions that so and so has squandered his National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG- CDF) when he has not. Let us not deal with corruption in funerals. Let us not create an atmosphere that is not conducive for Kenya in the war against corruption. The war against corruption must be fought by this House. The House has a role to oversee and appropriate money to Government institutions. We need to ...
