National Assembly · Afternoon Sitting

Chairperson, Departmental Chief is distracting you. Do you have a Paper to lay on the Table of the House?

[(Laughter)]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Report of the Departmental Committee on Health on its consideration of Public Petition No. 1 of 2026 by Mr James Kago regarding management of Haemophilia and other bleeding disorders among patients and children in the country.

Very well. Chairperson, Budget and Appropriations Committee! I do not see him around. That will be stepped down. He will lay the Papers later. Next Order.

Hon. Nyikal.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to give notice of following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health on its consideration of Public Petition No. 01 of 2026 regarding management of Haemophilia and other bleeding disorders among patients and children in the country, laid on the table of the House today, Tuesday, 23rd June

Very well. Next Order.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for this opportunity to request a Statement regarding the award of foreign scholarships to Kenyan students. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the award and distribution of foreign government scholarships to Kenyans. Over the years, t…

Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education is not in the House. What about the Vice-Chairperson? Are you a member of the Committee? When do we expect the Statement?

We can try to get that in two weeks.

We will be going on recess in two weeks. Could you bring a preliminary response next week?

Immediately after recess, just to be safe.

On a point of order.

What is out of order, Hon. Millie?

Hon. Temporary Speaker, a Member is purporting to give answers relating to the Government when he is in Linda Mwananchi. He has no response from Linda Mwananchi.

[(Laughter)]

Order, Hon. Millie. Hon. Clive is a member of the Committee. He has spoken as a member of the Departmental Committee on Education. Hon. Caleb, first week after recess.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, if it were a matter of Linda Mwananchi, I would probably have already got an answer.

The good thing is that you are also part of it, I assume.

Two weeks is sufficient.

Is it enough?

Yes.

First week after we resume. Hon. Amina.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding frequent power outages and poor electricity infrastructure in Malindi Constituency. For several months, residents of Malindi Constituency have been experiencing frequent and prolonged power outages arising…

baby Samira Mohammed. This incident has raised serious concerns regarding the safety and maintenance of electricity infrastructure in the area, as well as the responsiveness of the responsible agencies in addressing such hazards. It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the A report on the status of investigations by Kenya Power and other relevant agencies …

Very well. That goes to the Departmental Committee on Energy. The chairperson is not in the House. Hon. Mandazi, are you holding brief?

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Since this matter involves loss of life, I would propose that we provide a preliminary report before we proceed for recess, that is, next week. Allow me to give the following information to Members. I sit on the Energy Committee, and Kenya Power has a charter. At times, Kenya Power says it does not receive information on time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would lik…

Bring a response to Hon. Amina's question next Thursday before we break for recess.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

We will now indulge the Member for Kilgoris.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not know what Prof Jaldesa is doing there.

[(Hon. (Prof) Guyo Jaldesa consulted with Hon. Patrick Osero)]

Hon. Sunkuli, go on but advise Hon. Kibagendi not to block the view. It is out of order to block the Speaker’s view of the Member on the Floor.

Prof Jaldesa as well.

Prof Jaldesa, be guided. Proceed, Hon. Sunkuli.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding insecurity at Angata Barrikoi in Kilgoris Constituency. On or about the 20th June and 21st June 2026, a livestock theft incident was reported in the neighbouring Kuria East Constituency,…

Hon. Members, I know this is a live matter. I will give chance to a few Members who want to ride on that Statement. Before that, like I had indicated earlier, we have a lot of learners visiting us today. Allow me to recognise, in the Speaker's Gallery, students from: Mugeka School from Kiharu Constituency, Murang’a County; and, Ancilla Catholic Academy from Kesess, Uasin Gishu County. In the Publi…

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this chance to welcome the learners in the Speaker's and Public Galleries, particularly, students from Ndorome Secondary School. I urge them to work very hard and smart in their studies and be disciplined because, as I always say, education without character is nothing. One day, you will return to this honourable House as Members of Parliament and c…

Very well. I now give the Member for Chepalungu, Hon. Mandazi this opportunity to contribute to the Request for a Statement by Hon. Sunkuli, and not regarding the schools.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I congratulate my colleague and senior, Hon. Sunkuli for requesting a Statement regarding this matter. In this day and age, it is very important for livestock theft to be taken seriously. It is also paramount to mention that it is wrong for police officers to use excessive force on children and women. As we speak, many women are sleeping outside in the cold whil…

You have made your point. I do not want you to debate further. I only gave you a chance to ride on the Request for a Statement.

Yes, Hon. Temporary Speaker. There are videos circulating and it is sad to see women and children crying outside. It is completely unacceptable for police officers to use excessive force on women and children. Thank you.

Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security, I know your plate is full but this is also an urgent issue that needs your attention.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is true that this is an extremely sensitive issue that requires urgent attention. I also come from Narok County. Besides seeking a response from the Ministry, I took personal interest this morning and called the county commissioner and security agencies regarding what should be done. We all remember the unfortunate incident that occurred a few months ago in Angata Barrik…

There should be no death, whether of a resident or a police officer. Bring the response next week on Thursday. Next are responses to requests for Statements. Is Hon. Zamzam in the House? If not, the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security will table the response if it is ready. We have already moved to the next item.

[(Hon. David Keter spoke off-the-record)]

He is our new Member.

Hon. Tongoyo, please, table Hon. Zamzam’s response, as she is not in the House. You will also respond to Hon. Murugara. Do you have the response?

Yes. My Vice-Chairperson will handle that.

Hon. Raso. Member for Emurua Dikirr, I am only indulging you because you are new in the House. I know that this matter affects you. Because you are new here, I will give you a minute.

[(Hon. David Keter raised his hand)]

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Concerning the matter in Angata Barikoi, I urge the Chairperson to speed up the investigations because many people are suffering there. Most of them have fled their houses and are sleeping on the roads. We request a speedy investigation concerning this matter and to ensure that the security apparatus does not injure the people of Emurua Dikirr. They should hunt f…

Very well. That is an additional request to the Chairperson. Hon. Raso, kindly prosecute the response.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member of Parliament for Tharaka Constituency, Hon. George Murugara, requested to be apprised of the death of Mr Shadrack Kienge Makembo. The Member particularly sought: The circumstances that led to the death of Mr Shadrack in Isiolo. The status of the investigation into the death. The timeline within which the Government is expected to conclude in…

Very well. Hon. Murugara, are you satisfied? Do you have any follow-up questions?

Not at all.

You do not have follow-up questions?

No. I am not satisfied at all. I have a few follow-up questions. First, the suspected murderer, Mr Sheikh Mayo, is very well known in Isiolo. Second, it is claimed, and there may be some truth in this, that he is actually under protection, both by politicians and by security agencies. It is funny that for the last two months, somebody under the surveillance of the Directorate of Criminal Investiga…

Hon. Raso, you have heard the Member's concerns.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have heard Hon. Murugara loud and clear. This is not acceptable. How can someone be in Kenya and you say they are at large? This is a known individual, someone of known abode. For that reason, as a Committee, we will put our foot down that this individual must be brought before the law as soon as possible.

Hon. Murugara, the Vice-Chairman, has spoken for you, and that also begs the question of why we present half-baked responses from the Cabinet Secretaries. I have also heard that the Committee is meeting with the Cabinet Secretary on several issues. This should form part of it so that you receive a quick response. I know they will come together with the DCI, and because the Committee agrees with yo…

Definitely.

We hear from the Director of Criminal Investigations because this is not the only matter that I will raise with him. He seems not to be performing his job. He seems to be shielding criminals.

Hon. Murugara, you have made your point. Hon. Tongoyo and your team, the meeting with the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Interior and National Administration as well as the security agencies, is quite critical. Alert the Members in good time so that they can attend and prosecute their matters there. Hon. Owen, should the outcome of the meeting prove unsatisfactory, we can then call the Cabi…

[(Hon. Kaguchia John Statement dropped)]

Hon. Murugara, on behalf of the Liaison Committee, make the Statement.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a Statement regarding the newly elected chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of committees. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (b) , as read together with Standing Order 179 (14) , I rise to notify the House of the duly elected Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons of specified Committees. The House will recall that, on Thursday, 28…

Thank you, Hon. Murugara. Hon. Ngogoyo.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I seek your intervention. The Speaker had directed the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on

Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works to answer my question today, regarding the building that came down in Ngong at Ole Nairi area. I request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works to give the report they committed to give today.

Hon. Ngogoyo, the conversation was on this Floor. Hon. Tonui, the new Chair of the Committee, do you have the response? There was a commitment to bring the response because it was urgent.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I am aware of that statement, and I request Hon. Ngogoyo, through you, to allow me to give a comprehensive report in the first week after recess.

Chairperson, have you given a preliminary report to Hon. Ngogoyo?

The Cabinet Secretary has been away, and as I stand now, he is back in the country, and they are preparing that report. So, the first week after recess.

The preparation of that report did not need to await the Cabinet Secretary. To be fair to Hon. Ngogoyo, bring it next Thursday.

Okay, thank you.

We are done with Statements. Next Order.

(Senate Bill No. 10 of 2026) (The Bill was read a First Time and referred to the relevant Committee)

Hon. Members, we will re-organise the Order Paper. Orders No. 9 and 10 shall be deferred from today’s proceedings. We shall, therefore, proceed to Order No. 11.

[The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) left the Chair]

[The Temporary Chairman (Hon. Peter Kaluma) in the Chair]

[The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Farah Maalim) in the Chair]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Fisheries Management and Development Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 29 of 2023) up to Clause 39 and approved the same with amendments and seeks leave to sit again.

Mover of the Bill, move motion on agreement with the Committee’s Report.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said report. I request the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Owen Baya, to second.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I second.

Hon. Members, I cannot propose and put the question because we are out of time.

[(Putting the question deferred)]
