To be politically correct, he can say that in a rally somewhere in Kakamega County. I want encourage him that when he is in Katutu Parish to encourage young people to take that money. The same case for Sen. Onyonka and Sen. Mumma. I know Sen. Mumma is a fiery lady who has been in these politics for some time. Finally, on the Kshs13.9 billion because I know my time is spent, the Committee report looks okay, but I know we might amendment at some point. We need to discourage this use of rules and regulations. The High Court ruled ...

If this is not going to CRF, I do not know whether we shall come and audit for the County Public Accounts Committee (CPAC) where I am the Vice-Chairperson. Since it not going to CRF, they should tell us who will oversight. Is it the Public Investment Committee (PIC) or PAC of the National Assembly, or will it land to where yours truly is presiding so that we can have clear cut-off results?

I ask the Controller of Budget (CoB) to release this amount of money as per Article 219. That is how we can develop our counties. Looking at the Committee report, I commend the issue which they have stated--- I take an exception with a statement in closing remarks on feminization of poverty criteria. It goes ahead to state that most women and girls face secondary discrimination hence their plight is not recognized and hence their need to put them to consideration from the onset.

The boy child is endangered. There is only one man we are going to appoint as Chairman of men’s conference. He is called Achraf Hakimi. He was sued by the wife for divorce, but he had taken all his money to his mother. I am not saying we encourage mommy’s boy, but he should be the Chairman of the men’s conference. The boy child is facing extinction. Everything we are making anywhere is about the girl child. Talk about sanitary pads. Nobody is saying that if we give the girlchild sanitary pads then we should give boxers or briefs to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have read the Statement by Sen. Onyonka, that there is economic crisis in the country. That is far from the truth because the economy is doing very well. Sen. Onyonka should call for audit of this because he is going the direction of public debt. With the increase of Finance Bill in the previous Parliament, Sen. Wambua, five others and I refused the raising of the debt ceiling. If there is any crisis, it is from the previous administration where Sen. Onyonka is a very good friend to a number of principals. There is no economic ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, my brother, Sen. Sifuna, has quoted Standing Order No.105. However, he is forgetting that the former President, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, used to say that he has a big brother by the name Hon. Raila Odinga. In fact, a number of people were appointed in Government courtesy of the ‘handshake.’ For your information, Sen. Sifuna, through the Chair---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I remember in the Finance Bill of 2021, the brother, who was the chief advisor of the former President, called for the scraping and increase of Value Added Tax (VAT). It is in the records of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, are you aware that by the time we were objecting the increase of the debt ceiling to Kshs10 trillion--- Sen. Sifuna is a senior lawyer in this country, although he left a t-shirt with the police the other day. The first charge of Article 202 is on the public debt. There can never be a crisis. ...
