National Assembly · Afternoon Sitting

Hon. Members, you recall that on Tuesday, 9th June 2026, I notified the House of the appointment of five Senators to the Mediation Committee on the Cooperatives Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 7 of 2024) . I wish to inform the House of the appointment of four additional Senators to the said Mediation Committee. They are: Sen. Daniel Kitonga Maanzo. Sen. (Prof) Margaret Jepkoech Kamar. Sen. Hamida…

Hon. Members, I have a Petition regarding the establishment of a National Police Firearms Digital Detection and Tracking System. Article 119 of the Constitution accords any person the right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority. Further, Standing Order 225 (2) (b) requires the Speaker to report to the House any Petition other than those presented by a Member. In this r…

Petitioner is concerned that several security incidents, including attack on police posts and stations in some parts of the country, where officers are reportedly ambushed and firearms forcefully taken, exposes vulnerabilities in current firearms storage, monitoring and rapid response systems. The Petitioner contends that the theft or unauthorised removal of police firearms places police officers…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Our Standing Orders allow for comments on petitions. What has been brought forward, though it goes to the Public Petitions Committee, involves the Committee led by Hon. Tongoyo. It speaks to some issues under the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. Today’s technology allows effective tracking and we must thank the Petitioner for bringing th…

Thank you. Hon. Milemba.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Petition will expand the space of security, especially on the issue of firearm movement. As I thank the Petitioner, I note that he has opted to address one side of the issue, where police officers lose their firearms after being attacked, as illustrated by the examples he has already given. However, there are situations where police officers illegally hire out firear…

Petition. Therefore, the Committees that have been given the opportunity to consider it, should be careful to develop it in such a way that it results in legislation that can digitize the movement of firearms from police stations, police posts and any other places where firearms are kept. This will go a long way in ensuring that firearms remain in the hands of the correct persons and can be tracke…

[(Loud consultations)]

Order, Hon. Members. I agree with Hon. KJ and Hon. Milemba. Leader of the Majority Party, kindly look into this Petition. I direct that you find a way of fusing the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation, the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Public Petitions Committee to look at it and see how they can engineer some legislation. It …

Chairperson, Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities on its inspection visits to constituency offices in Nakuru County.

Thank you. Next Order.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities on inspection visits in constituency offices in Nakuru County, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 11th June 2026.

Thank you. Next Order.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is the usual Thursday Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to present the following Statement. The House Business Committee met on Tuesday, 9th June 2026 to prioritize business for consideration during the week and the business coming before the House in the following week. Hon. Speaker,…

[(Loud consultations)]

Order. Is that the Member for Gatundu South?

[(Hon. GG Kagombe consulted loudly)]

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The consultations were too loud and they were coming from the corner where Hon. Mwengi Mutuse is seated. When there are Cabinet Secretaries in the House, you never know what Hon. Mwengi Mutuse could be planning. In the next 10 minutes, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Hon. John Mbadi, will make his pronouncement on Budget highlights a…

[(Laughter)]

Let us have Hon. Junet. Take one or two minutes.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to add my voice to what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. I know we are in an era of misinformation and disinformation, but when that misinformation comes from high-level members of society, some of whom have been speakers of this House, it becomes worrying. I heard the former Speaker say that this is the first time a budget is being presented when the

President is not around. The last President to be present in this House during the Budget presentation was President Mwai Kibaki, under the old Constitution. It appears that those people do not know what is happening in the country. They have no agenda to sell to Kenyans and so, they are scavenging for anything. Even the President's travels have become a problem for them. The Cabinet Secretary for…

ODM!

Thank you very much.

[(Loud consultations)]

Order, Hon. Members. Hon. Junet, you are out of order for conducting an illegal choir on the Floor of the House. Order, Hon. Members. For the avoidance of doubt, Hon. Junet and Hon. Ichung’wah have made an important point. The President is under no obligation to be in Parliament when the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning is issuing his statement and outlining the r…

[(Laughter)]

THAT, the House do agree with the report of the Committee of the whole House on its consideration of the Agricultural and Livestock Extension Services Bill (Senate Bill No. 12 of 2022).

Let us have Hon. Susan.

Hon. Speaker, I second.

[(Several Members stood up in their places)]

Members on their feet, take your seats. Hon. Nzengu, take your seat. Do I put the question?

[(Question proposed)]

Yes.

[(Question put and agreed to)]

[(The Bill was accordingly read a Third Time and passed)]

[(The Speaker consulted with the Lead Clerk-at-the-Table)]

Leader of the Majority Party, it is now 3.00 O’clock. Will you search, find and bring to the Chamber the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning?

Power! Power!

Order! Leader of the Majority Party.

Hon. Speaker, as you have directed, I did not have to search for the Cabinet Secretary. He was well within the precincts of Parliament, and on time. It is now my pleasure and honour to present to the House, to the country and to you, Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning, Fellow of the Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (FCPA) , Hon. John Mbadi, the…

Hold on, Cabinet Secretary. Take your seat.
