Thank you, Hon. Speaker. A number of fundamental issues have been raised. I was particularly keen on what the Member for Wajir North has said, that they are dissenting the Report. I was wondering whether he and the other members of the Committee who are dissenting may afford a minority report that could have been tabled together with this Report. Fundamentally, I have perused through this Report and, indeed, the issue that has been raised by Hon. T.J Kajwang’ on public participation – and he has mentioned the LSK among the stakeholders – is very fundamental. The written submissions that ...

as a former Vice-Chair of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) – has spoken about a valuation report of KQ. If you look at the audited accounts of 2019 of KAA, it is holding assets worth about Kshs1.3 trillion. That is the institution that we are seeking to merge with KQ, which is making losses and is bound to make further losses because of COVID-19. Without valuing KQ and not having a feasibility report that tells this country and all stakeholders how feasible this transaction is of KAA merging with a loss-making entity, KQ will gobble up financial assets and other ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Even as I rise to support the Procedural Motion, I wanted to raise something on a point of order in relation to Standing Order 141(2) that states as follows: "A Bill that has been published, read a First Time or in respect of which the Second Reading has not been concluded- (b) at the end of two consecutive Sessions of the same Parliament shall lapse at the end of the second Session and may be republished in the same or different form in accordance with Standing Order 114 (Introduction of Bills) in relation to money Bills". ...

end of this Session, many of those Bills will lapse and so, I wanted to request whether it would be in order for the House Business Committee to reconsider either to have sittings on Tuesday mornings for Private Members’ Bills to allow at least maybe another five Bills to see the light of day before the end of this Session. An alternative, Hon. Speaker, is for the House Business Committee to create a provision where we can move a Motion that no Bill that was published and has gone through the First and Second Reading in this Session because of ...

the Bomas of Kenya or at Kasarani and have the President address the nation on the state of our nation. I, therefore, want to request you, Hon. Speaker... You are a man of wisdom. I know in your own wise ways, you can cause the appearance of His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya before a joint sitting of the two Houses to address the nation on the state of our nation. I think at this particular time, it is important that we realign our priorities, our thinking and all our actions to ensure that the livelihoods of ...

tomorrow, Thursday being their second meeting, we shall officially be handing over to the new Chairman part of the work that I left. As I promised the House, I will continue working with the Committee and all Members. He has raised a very substantive issue. Indeed, I was astounded yesterday, even as we may not want to discuss the on goings in the other House, to note, on the debate on the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and the formula on the share of our revenues, a debate which we gather now is on the 8th sitting which was miraculously ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you. You know the Leader of the Majority Party does not realise that I am not the one who gives myself the microphone. You have to do it from the clerk’s desk. He is doing a good job trying to enumerate what happened, but I just wanted to benefit. If you read through the Committee’s Report, you will notice, and he has gone to great length to explain how money was paid out, that after the death of the original owner, Mr. Samuels, even his children were deported from this country. We may want to ...
