Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Chairman of the Committee on this issue of variation to be done within 12 months. Business is a risky venture. When you are investing in business, you have to insure your business. If there happens to be a downfall in monetary valuation, a disaster or a calamity, the insurance company will cater for that if you insure a project. What has been happening in towns especially Nairobi is a problem of middlemen, brokers and briefcase businessmen. They canvass for these deals and make cuts out of a project ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. At least, I am present. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion regarding the President’s Speech in Parliament last week. First, I wish to congratulate His Excellency for recognising victims of past injustices. In my constituency, there are squatters who were evicted from Turbo and Kipkaren during the 1992 clashes. I hope they will benefit from the Kshs10 billion fund that is going to be set up. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ...

In the Annexure to the President’s Speech, in Item No.4, in the Office of the Deputy President, on 22nd October, 2014, there is a lady called Marianne Kittany. They have indicated that she is the Chief of Staff in the Deputy President’s Office. She is accused of abuse of office and misappropriation of Kshs200 million. It is alleged that she diverted Kshs100 million from the Legislative and Inter-Governmental Relations Office to mobilise Members of Parliament in the abortive campaign in July, 2014 to impeach powerful Cabinet Secretary, Anne Waiguru. This is a very serious matter. As I have always said, ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, we would like this matter to be investigated properly. Furthermore, this issue should be subjected to the Powers and Privilege Committee of the House, so that we can know what happened. What is happening to this House? This is an allegation that an officer in the Office of the Deputy President and a Cabinet Secretary are fighting using Members of the National Assembly. We will not allow it. We want to know the truth. When I go to Lugari, my constituents say that I was bribed. They say that we failed to remove the Cabinet Secretary because ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. First of all, I would like to state that the moral value of this House is in a crisis. The integrity of the House is in crisis. This Motion gives us an opportunity to re-evaluate ourselves on matters of corruption and morality as Members of this House. Although the Motion is targeting the Speaker---

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I seek your indulgence because there are loud consultations in the House.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, although the Motion targets the Speaker of the National Assembly, it gives us an opportunity to re-evaluate ourselves and see what is happening with us. We have lost the moral authority to be called honourable Members of Parliament. Issues that have been in the media this week are shameful to the National Assembly. Let us look at these issues positively and utilise this opportunity to re-evaluate ourselves.

Concerning the Speaker, I categorically oppose this Motion. The Mover of the Motion has not justified issues related to contempt and malice. The examples he has given are like the Speaker calling a monkey a tailed mammal. This is just using an idiom to describe it. It is using the figurative word that does not imply literal meaning. The examples that have been given by the Mover of the Motion do not amount to contempt or malice against the leadership of this House by the Speaker, hon. Muturi.

Lastly, I urge the Speaker to balance opportunities for Members contributing to Motions in this House. There are Members who come very early, but the speakers in every session are the same Members. Members leave this august House without having spoken because of the leadership.
