Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and congratulations for being a member of the Speaker’s Panel. I am very challenged as a new Member by the fact that we have to keep learning and reading so widely because there is nothing we can delegate to the people out there. Therefore, whether we are economists, lawyers or from any other professions, it behooves all of us to debate all manner of things, including water, even if we do not have it where we come from. That is our obligation as Members of Parliament. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have ...

Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. I also want to congratulate my colleague, the Hon. Bishop Khamala for noting very well that he was elected to represent the people of Kenya in this House and not to boycott the sittings of Parliament.

I have gone through the Paper and I have to say we have to build a lot of capacity, especially when we talk about our public hospitals and dispensaries. My proposal would be that we are here elected as Members of Parliament but, most of the people we represent in this House cannot afford healthcare in private facilities. It is good to note that most of the Members of Parliament and people working in high positions in the Government, even when they have a cold, they find it more convenient to visit private facilities. Maybe with time, we may have ...

kitty, we have that window where we can pay for cards for the vulnerable people in our communities, starting this financial year. We should seize that opportunity so that we remove that burden from the Kenyan people, especially those who are vulnerable. To echo what most of the Members are saying, I think we rushed to devolve healthcare in our country. It is time we revisit it so that we can streamline it and, first of all, build capacity even before we hand over to our governors in the devolved units. As I finish, one of the things we need ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First of all, I congratulate the NASA Member who spoke before me. I also congratulate my friend, Hon. Chris Wamalwa, and the Leader of the Minority Party for, first, agreeing to come to the House so that we can engage on a platform that is legal. Secondly, I congratulate them for accepting to take the oath of office, having validly been elected to serve in the 12thParliament. I am surprised that the same Members are casting aspersions on the credibility of the 8th August general elections and saying that the process through which ...

I am surprised that every day we wake up, we see the NASA leadership casting blame on anything and everything from the IEBC to the police. I was surprised yesterday to see them in a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Press conference claiming that Safaricom played a role in stealing of votes. The same company they are accusing is the same one whose platform they are using to raise money. They are using Safaricom’s Paybill Number. I know the leadership of NASA has collected so much money from Kenyans. My advice to the leader of NASA is that he should use that money to renovate his rural home. He will need to be there from 27th October 2017 when we send him home on permanent political retirement.

There has been a lot of chest-thumping from NASA supporters, especially before our helpless security men. I, therefore, call upon the House to give more privileges--- We need to encourage our security men to use any method within their disposal to protect law-abiding Kenyans whose businesses are at risk given the anarchy that is being perpetrated by NASA and its leadership. As Member for Kiharu, I know very well that most of the businesses in this city are owned by people from my constituency. I would invoke what was also invoked by the former Minister for Internal Security that when ...

Lastly, this House must rise to the occasion. We shall not have a third election after the repeat election on 26th October 2017. We will not agree to go for another election, waste taxpayers’ money to satisfy and massage the ego of only one person who has lost in elections.

Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to catch your eye. I am Ndindi Nyoro, Member for Kiharu Constituency. First, I want to thank the people of Kiharu for giving me this opportunity to come to this House. Kiharu Constituency, as Members know, is a constituency that is in the history of this country because of leaders like Kenneth Matiba. I also want to congratulate the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker. I want to make it very clear that you were elected on merit. No one was more qualified than you to sit where you are seated. ...
