No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not misleading the House.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is as factual as the second coming of Jesus Christ. It is very important. You know, when we are on this forum, we learn. I learn from colleagues and they learn from me. I said very well that the President assented to Kshs385.5 billion, under equitable sharable revenue. However, we passed Kshs44 billion as conditional grants. It totals to Kshs429 billion. It is like having money in Equity Bank and Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB). It is your money. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Faki should stop consulting Serjeant-at-Arms and listen keenly. I am making a life changing ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, Standing Order No.115 is something else. It speaks about the Senators’ bags. So, I do not know whether he has seen Sen. Kibwana’s bag anywhere or my sister there---

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for Commissioner, who was my criminal lawyer during my hay days in trenches fighting for democracy, to mislead the House on the Housing Levy Fund yet the Housing Act was passed? The Housing Levy Fund is only 3 per cent. A sum of Kshs2,500 will also be contributed by the employer and it is capped. Is it in order to listen more to WhatsApp gossip as opposed to getting a substantive issue by the learned senior council? He is the only one in this session. Is it in ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, Under Standing Order No.105 on responsibility for statement of fact, is it in order for the only learned senior council in the House to mislead all of us by saying 3 per cent Housing Levy Fund is a tax yet it is a saving? That is a saving that will be paid after 7 years. He has advised me to read the Finance Bill and I have read it. In fact, I should be the one teaching him. We are talking about 3 per cent Housing Levy Fund, which is a saving. It is not a tax. ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, the Prompt Payment Bill is a very straight forward Bill.

Madam Temporary Speaker, for sometime, I have sat in the Public Accounts Committee (CPAC). In fact, the National Treasury even went ahead and invoked Article 225 because of many pending bills. If my memory serves me right, there are almost Kshs120 billion pending bills in counties. The Ministry of Roads and Transportation, a national Government entity, owes close to Kshs1 trillion in pending bills. This issue of pending bills is eating our people. Contractors in our villages and counties are suffering; be it the ones who did the Early Childhood and Development Education (ECDE) classes, polytechnics structures, or anything in ...
