Committee on Administration and National Security to please address himself to the issues of insecurity, more so, to what seems to be politically-instigated violence, be it in Isiolo, Baringo, Laikipia or in the Mt. Kenya region, where the Mungiki seems to be regaining its foothold. This is happening under the full view and glare of the public and the Cabinet Secretary in-charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Hon. Fred Matiang’i, and his Principal Secretary. The Inspector-General of Police must listen to the alarm bells being raised by the Member for Isiolo and Hon. Abdisalan. These are issues that ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a keen interest in the Statement because many of our people who are scrap metal dealers, more so very young hustlers who collect scrap metal in our villages and small towns and sell them to local smelters, have suffered in the last few months. The ban in itself was illegal. It is amazing that the Chair has the audacity to say that the Ministry is working on guidelines. Guidelines on what when there is already an existing law that regulates the scrap metal business in the country? As a House, we must be ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is nothing out of order in what I have said. The Government has a responsibility to protect its vital installations without punishing hustlers.

I have seen a clip going round from the President of the neighbouring country, the Republic of Tanzania, her Excellency Madam Suluhu, where she asks politicians to explain to the people how the Russia/Ukraine war is affecting the price of fuel. But it is also good for us to explain to the people of Kenya that as much as there is an implication from the Ukraine/Russia war, as a House and as a country, we put safeguard measures against such eventualities. We created the Consumer Protection Fund with the Petroleum Development Fund which as we heard yesterday that the Ministry ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg your indulgence and I will not take much time. I want to congratulate the Chairman and Members of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also want to point out that, indeed, the Communication the Speaker made is well informed. Whenever the National Treasury goes against the law, we have a precedent in the BAC refusing to approve anything that is ultra vires to Article 223 of the Constitution. You will remember this House declined to approve the payment of Kshs1.5 billion for the Ruaraka land. That is a record before this House. ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the risk of repeating and I have heard your guidance, indeed, when we broke for lunch, we took a physical head count of the Members who were voting and verified that as has been reported and raised by Hon. Duale, there are gadgets that were not working. I have heard what you have said, but I beg that you direct from the Chair that the last three votes that were taken, the office of the Clerk supplies us, through the former Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, the list of Members who vote ...
