I was requesting that in view of this fact and what has happened today in Riadha House where Athletics Kenya (AK) offices are, you allow a few Members to ventilate on this issue because the issue of sports in this country is being threatened. It is going into total disarray because of corruption. I humbly request you to allow a few Members to ventilate on the issue.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, Members of Parliament are family people. When the Member says that there is a problem with the list of the spouses and he does not substantiate, that is something that makes one hold his breath for some time for him to come back, but he does not come back. It is good for him to clarify what exactly the problem is so that we can understand. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, let me apologize to the Leader of the Majority Party for picking his copy of the Standing Orders. I know he is the only one who religiously carries the New Edition of the Standing Orders and the Constitution in this Parliament. I need your indulgence on an issue that touches other Members of Parliament. This is an issue to do with the role the Implementation Committee is supposed to play in this House, as stipulated in Standing Order No.209. The Standing Order states:- “(2) The Committee shall scrutinize the resolutions of the House (including adopted ...

(3) The Committee may propose to the House sanctions against any Cabinet Secretary who fails to report to the relevant select Committee on implementation status without justifiable reasons”. When it comes to petitions, your office came up with the Petition Tracker that shows us the status of any petition at any one time. Departmental Committees do a very good job in making sure that recommendations are done according to Standing Order Nos.228 and 227. The Report is given to the Office of the Clerk to show what the Committee recommended.

Hon. Speaker, several Members of Parliament, including me, have brought petitions to this House. In particular, I want to refer the House to a petition I took to the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing headed by Hon. Kamanda. There was a recommendation that bumps should be erected on a road in a place called Kangoro in Chuka/Igambang’ombe Constituency. That was one year ago. I saw the Report because it was given to me by the Clerk but, one year down the line, today we have demonstrations in the same area because a bus ploughed into a bus ...

I, Onesmus Njuki, on behalf of the residents of Chuka/Igambang’ombe Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, to ensure effective co-ordination of national Government functions and services at the sub-county level, there is need to have well defined geographical and administrative units. THAT, this objective was not realised in delineation and demarcation of boundaries for Karingani Location, which currently exists in Chuka Division and has a population of 18,194 people within an area of 72.5 square kilometres. THAT, currently, Karingani Location hosts Chuka University, a public university with a population of 12,000 people, which is increasing ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I also want to thank the Hon. Member of Parliament for Machakos Town, Dr. Victor Munyaka, for coming up with this timely Motion. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the highest risk of insecurity in this country is normally caused by illegal firearms in the hands of criminals. That is one of the biggest threats to existence of peace in this country. What this Motion seeks to do is to put into implementation a technology that has been with us for some time. It is a technology that ...
