National Assembly · Afternoon Sitting

Hon. Bishop Kosgei, I am told you are holding brief for your Chairman.

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

It is good practice to inform the Speaker if you are holding a brief. That way, we know you have such a brief. Ordinarily, a written note accompanies such a brief. Nevertheless, I will give you an opportunity to lay the Paper as scheduled.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am well guided. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table: Eighth Report of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture on consideration of audited financial statements of the following State corporations—

Next Order.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was consulting a Member of the caucus of lawyers that you appointed. We were discussing very important matters, notwithstanding that I have an important Notice of Motion to move. I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Draft Salaries and Remuneration Commission

[(Remuneration and Benefits of State and other Public Officers)]

Regulations, 2025, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 12th March 2026 and pursuant to the provisions of Section 26(2) of the Salaries and Remuneration Act, Cap 412D, this House approves the Draft Salaries and Remuneration Commission (Remuneration and Benefits of State and Other Public Officers) Regulations, 2025, with amendments.

Bishop, the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture.

I have already presented, Hon. Speaker.

We are now on Notices of Motions.

Okay.

Are they combined into one Motion, or are they separate notices?

They are all in one Motion.

Go ahead and give the Notice of Motion then.

I had surrendered everything. May I have it?

Go ahead, Hon. Bishop. ADOPTION OF THE REPORT OF THE PIC ON SOCIAL SERVICES, ADMINISTRATION AND AGRICULTURE IN ITS EXAMINATION OF AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to learn best practices. Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the 8th Report of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture on its examination of the audited financial statements of the following State Corporations, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 12…

Thank you, Bishop. Chairperson, Select Committee on Implementation, Hon. Raphael Wanjala.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:

THAT, this House adopts the Second Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on the Status of Reports on Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 26th October 2023. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Next Order.

Hon. Edith Nyenze. She is not in the House! Hon. Martin Pepela.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I rise to request a Statement regarding a tragic road accident that occurred on 9th of this month on the Webuye - Kitale Road. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure regarding a tragic road accident that occurred at the …

You want a joy ride.

Yes. Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. We send our condolences to the victims of the terrible accident that occurred in Webuye. Fifteen people died, and others are still in very critical condition. That is not a small thing. I say this because between Gilgil and Nakuru, we have seen families being wiped out in road accidents. It is quite sad that the Ministry of Roads and Tr…

Hon. Otiende Amolo.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to thank Hon. Wanyonyi for raising a matter of concern, even as I bring condolences of the people of Rarieda Constituency and mine to the bereaved families. Let it be on record for those who doubt that the work of a Member of Parliament includes raising such matters. It is not the traditional three roles that people talk about. Any matter of concern to constituen…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me join my colleagues to console the families of those who lost their lives. The place where the accident occurred has been a black spot for a long time. What is lacking there is road signage. I do not know why, whenever contractors are given work, they do not put up signs and lines that could help motorists stay vigilant on the road. Therefore, it is important that th…

clearly come out to assist these families. In fact, one family lost five members. A father lost five children!

Six members.

In fact, six children at a go! That is very grievous. So, we just want the Government, as it assisted Hon. Ng’eno’s bereaved people, to also come out and assist these people. Victims in hospitals will incur very big bills. How I wish that the Government could step in to assist them so that they do not agonise over the bills. I thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Dido Rasso.

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I join our colleague, Hon. Wanyonyi, to send my condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and a quick recovery to those in the hospital. In this country, people dying in road accidents appears to be the new normal. After they are buried, people quickly forget. But 16 people dying at one spot should be concerning to the country. Immediately after the …

Leader of the Majority Party.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to also join the House, first, in sending a message of condolences to the families of the people who lost their lives in the grisly road accident in Webuye. I also pray that those who were injured may find healing and a quick recovery. Every now and then, we have to bury the dead and incur heavy expenses to take care of people who are injured in road accidents. I…

highest levels of Government visit the scene. Indeed, such accidents can be related to the state of the road or issues that agencies like NTSA need to address. I cannot confirm whether what is circulating on social media is true because one must always verify such information. Many young Kenyans do not bother to verify what they see on social media. I have not had time to check the NTSA website t…

Hon. Rindikiri.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I join my colleagues in sending my condolences to the people of Webuye, Bungoma County, and Kenya at large following this terrible accident. I have just come from another terrible road accident. We also buried my Chairman because of an air crash. There are many black spots that are well known to road agencies, particularly the KeNHA. We have one such spot in my constituenc…

intervention. We need to call a spade a spade. State agencies responsible for some of these roads have failed Kenyans and us. I thank the President and this House for their support for the National Infrastructure Fund. I hope much of this money will be spent on constructing good roads without black spots and that they will be convenient for our people to use. On behalf of the people of Buuri, I s…

Thank you. Hon. Members, I want us to end there. Allow me also to thank those who have spoken on this matter. As your Speaker, some of the people who perished are known to me personally. Some come from very deprived and poor families. One family lost six on the spot. A woman who was expectant perished with the new life she was carrying, and many others. We are organising a send-off for these loved…

[(Applause)]

There are two notices of Motion, Hon. Speaker.

You have two? Okay, go ahead.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Third Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on Implementation Status of Reports on Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the table of the House on Thursday, 5th December 2024.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Fifth Report of the Select Committee on Implementation on Implementation Status of Reports on Petitions and Resolutions passed by the House, laid on the table of the House on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Let us go back to Order No. 7. Proceed, Hon. Mary Emaase.

Hon. Speaker, I rise to request a statement following the killing of four security guards in my constituency, one of whom was killed today. I read this Statement Request with a very heavy heart. It is, indeed, a very sad day. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Sec…

The Constitution guarantees every citizen the right to life and the protection of property by the State. However, the recent wave of criminal incidents raises serious concerns regarding the adequacy of security responses in the affected areas. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the fol…

Thank you. Next is Hon. Dido Raso. Hold on, Hon. Raso. Yes, Hon. Dick Maungu. Do you want to joyride?

[(Hon. Ali Raso stood up in his place)]

[(Hon. Dick Oyugi raised his hand)]

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Go ahead.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity. What Hon. Mary Emaase has raised is a matter of serious interest for those of us who come from the Western Region. Insecurity is not affecting only the counties mentioned. It is also being experienced in Vihiga County, particularly in Luanda Constituency. We have gangs, some with guns, moving around. On Monday, I led a very peaceful protest in my cons…

When can you bring a response?

Hon. Speaker, our Committee will be meeting the Inspector-General (IG) of the National Police Service and his team. We will share this concern with him as a matter of priority. We will bring a comprehensive report to the House once we resume from recess.

Thank you. We also did not commit the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure to Hon. Pepela’s request for a statement. Is Hon. GK in the House? Hon. Komingoi? He is the one who has been answering questions. Is there anybody from that Committee? The Leader of the Majority Party, the Departmental Committee on Transport and

Infrastructure, is completely absent from the House. Alert them to bring a response when we resume. Next is Hon. Lenguris Pauline.

Hon. 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 Administration and Internal Security regarding a human-wildlife conflict incident in Kisima Location, Samburu County. A tragic incident recently occurred in Naiborkeju Village, Mbarigon Sub-location, Kisima Location in Samburu County, where th…

Chair, Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife, Hon. Kareke? Any Member from the Committee? Leader of the Majority Party, inform them to bring a response when we resume. Hon. Stephen Mogaka. He is not in the House. Hon. Martha Wangari.

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental

Thank you, Hon. Wangari. Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security. Hon. Raso, when can you bring a response? Just hold on. Yes, Hon. Nicholas Ng’ikor.

Hon. Speaker, I just want to ride on what Hon. Wangari has said on the issue of birth certificates. The issue of birth certificates has become a major concern for residents of this country, especially those in remote areas. Where I come from, my constituents travel all the way from Lokori, which is the headquarters of my constituency, to Lodwar, which is more than 300 kilometres away. The fee is …

Hon. Nicholas, you just passed a law in this House, which was assented to by His Excellency the President three weeks ago, devolving the issuance of these documents

Sub-county means sub-county. So, follow up with the implementation. Hon. Raso, when can you bring a response? Hon. Wangari, you can assist Hon. Nicholas, who is a defender of your law.

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Wangari sponsored the Bill.

Yes.

We worked with her through the Committee. Sometimes we have to be very careful with what we ask the Executive to do. However, we will bring a response in the first week after we resume. Thank you.

Hon. Edith Nyanze.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my Statement.

This is your second call. Apologise to the House for coming late.

Hon. Speaker, let me take this opportunity to apologise to the House for coming late and thank you for giving me the opportunity to make my Statement.

Go ahead.

Thank you, Hon. 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 Regional Development regarding the effects of the devastating floods that have affected several parts of the country following the recent heavy rains. Over the past few days, heavy rainfall has triggered flooding in many parts of the…

Hon. Mwango, do you want to ride on this one?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. First, I would like to send my condolences to the people who lost their loved ones in the tragic flooding of Nairobi County, especially in my constituency along the Grogan area. I join my colleague in seeking ways to develop lasting solutions. Floods have been a recurrent issue for many years. It is time we put our efforts to…

Yes, Hon. Fatuma.

Ni mamake peke yake ambaye hununua samaki hapo?

Mamake hununua samaki hapo. Ni customer wa aunty yangu. Wanajuana. (Kicheko) Mama wengi wanafanya bishara pale. Katika soko la Migori, kuna zaidi ya wafanyibiashara elfu mbili ambao walipoteza bidhaa zao, na bishara zao sasa zimeanguka na hawawezi kumudu familia zao tena. Naiomba serikali iweke mfuko wa dharura ili isaidie wafanyibiashara wadogo. Kama tuna ndoto ya kuenda Singapore, ni hawa wafan…

harambee kubwa uwe Guest of Honour, uwasaidie akina mama waweze kuuza samaki tena, ili mamake Mhe. Junet awe customer tena kwa hilo soko. Ahsante.

Yes, Leader of the Majority Party.

Mhe. Spika, kwa vile nimemskia mama wa Migori, Mhe. Fatuma akinena kwa Kiswahili, naomba nami pia ninene kwa Kiswahili. Nimemskiza Mhe. Mwago, na ninahisi uchungu alionao kwa sababu ya maafa yaliyotokea juma lililopita kwa sababu ya mafuriko jijini Nairobi. Niliona mambo mengi kwenye mitandao ya kijamii usiku huo. Watu walimkemea Gavana wa Nairobi. Si kusema kwamba Gavana wa Nairobi hana jukumu la…

linahusu watu wa Starehe. Sijamsikia siku nyingine akiongea kuhusu mambo ya watu wa Starehe. Nampongeza sana kwa kuleta mjadala huo leo. (Kicheko)

Mhe. Junet, endelea.

Asante sana kwa kunipa nafasi, Mhe. Spika, ili nichangie mjadala huu. Kule tunapotoka, Migori, kama Mama Kaunti wetu alivyosema na kama unavyojua kwa sababu umeenda Migori mara nyingi, ni mji ambao una barabara moja kubwa. Hiyo barabara ndiyo iliyo na daraja kubwa moja linalogawa constituency yangu na ile ya jirani yangu. Daraja hilo ndilo wanadamu, malori, na pikipiki zinapita; pia hapo ndipo kuk…

Limesombwa na maji?

Ndiyo, limesombwa na maji ya mafuriko tunayozungumzia. Sasa hakuna njia wala mawasiliano yoyote kati ya upande huu na ule mwingine. Kama serikali haitachukua hatua ya dharura, watu wengine watabaki upande mmoja, na wengine upande mwingine. Kuna mtu hata ameacha bibi yake upande mmoja, naye yuko upande mwingine. Amenipigia simu na hana njia yoyote ya kwenda huko. Naomba tuchukue hatua za dharura il…

Ni lazima Bunge hili lijadili mambo ya Nairobi. Tunahitaji kikao rasmi cha kujadili mambo ya Nairobi. Ninamshukuru Rais kwa kuunda jopo kazi la kuunganisha Kaunti ya Nairobi na Serikali kuu. Hilo ni ono nzuri sana. Ameona kuwa mji huu ni mkubwa sana na ni lazima uendelee mbele. Mhe. Amos, kama mwanaeneo bunge lako anataka kujenga kibanda, alijenge kwa Wamunyoro. Awaache wananchi wa Nairobi waishi …

Order, Hon. Mwago. Take your seat. Hon. Members, allow me to acknowledge students from St. Patrick’s Hill School from Kajiado West Constituency in Kajiado County, and Matungulu Girls’ High School from Matungulu Constituency in Machakos County, who are seated in the Speaker’s Gallery. I also want to acknowledge students from Kangari Comprehensive School, Gilgil Constituency, Nakuru County; Koimbi S…

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding insecurity affecting teachers serving in the Isiolo–Kipsing region of Isiolo County. The Isiolo–Kipsing Corridor in northern Kenya has persistently faced a severe teacher shortage. In response to concerns raised by…

It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following:

Hon. Raso, will you bring a response when we resume our sittings in the first week after recess?

Obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Fatima Masito. Is your name Fatima or Fatimo?

Mhe. Spika, naitwa Fatuma.

Jina lako limeandikwa Fatimo. Mhe. Fatuma Masito.

Hon. 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 Administration and Internal Security regarding the escalating insecurity in Kwale County caused by criminal gangs commonly referred to as the Panga Boys. In recent months, residents of Kwale County, especially in Diani, Ukunda, and surrounding…

Hon. Raso.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not sure if you saw the recent media clip about what is happening in Mombasa. Mr Nuno, the Regional Police

Commander, was addressing this issue. If it is working in Mombasa, we can escalate it to Kwale. We will respond to the House in the first week after recess.

Thank you. Mama Masito, you will get your response in the first week after recess. Hon. Mwago Amos.

Thank you, Hon. 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 Education regarding the shortage of teachers employed by the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) in day secondary schools within Starehe Constituency, Nairobi County. Day secondary schools in Starehe Constituency are currently experie…

Order! I approved your statement, and I did not see Marie Antoinette in it.

[(Laughter)]

Much obliged.

Hon. Ojiambo Oundo.

Thank you, Hon Speaker. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy regarding the operations of KUDURA Power East Africa in Western Kenya. KUDURA Power East Africa Limited is a Kenyan enterprise specialising in the development and operation of renewable energy mini-grids in Western Kenya. Its prim…

Thank you, Hon. Oundo. Is the Chairperson of the Departmental

Okay.

Hon.Nolfason Barongo.Is that how your first name is pronounced?

Yes, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental

Thank you, Barongo. Chairperson for the Departmental Committee on Health, Hon. (Dr) Nyikal. First week?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The first week after recess.

Excellent. Hon. Wanami Wamboka. INCREASED COLLAPSE OF BUILDINGS IN THE COUNTRY

Hon. 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 Housing, Urban Planning and Public Works regarding the increasing incidences of building collapses in various parts of this country. Hon. Speaker, in the recent past, several buildings across the country have collapsed, resulting in loss of li…

Thank you, Hon. Wamboka. Hon. Rindikiri, that is directed to your Committee.

Hon. Speaker, we will present our report one week after we return from recess.

Thank you. Allow me to acknowledge, in the Speaker’s Gallery, St. Stephen Makindu Boys School from Kibwezi West, Makueni County. Students, when you are called out, you stand up to be acknowledged.

[(Applause)]

Leader of the Majority Party, your Thursday Statement.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2) (a) , I rise to present the following statement on behalf of the House Business Committee, which met on Tuesday, 10th March 2026, to prioritise business for

consideration during the week and the business coming before the House in the week we resume from recess. Hon. Speaker, I wish to commend the leadership of this House, all the committees and Members for the dedication and cooperation exhibited in this first part of the Session so far. Through our collective collaboration, I can authoritatively confirm that we have maintained a good pace and dispe…

Thank you, Leader of the Majority Party. Last on Statements is Hon. Fatuma. Yes, Hon. Mwenje.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Is this on the Leader of the Majority Party’s Statement?

Yes, please.

Go ahead.

The Leader of the Majority Party has stated that the Prime Cabinet Secretary will be in the House once we resume. Given what happened in Nairobi, I believe the Prime Cabinet Secretary is responsible for some of these functions. Would it be okay to request that the Leader of the Majority Party ask the Cabinet Secretary to come and give us a brief report on the measures and actions to be taken in li…

You are right. But the right thing to do is to file a request in my office. We have a two-week recess. I will then motion the Leader of the Majority to include it in the issues that he will come to brief the House on. If you do that, it will be done. Yes, Hon. Oundo.

Hon. Speaker, with your benevolence, can we also joyride and add one more question?

Which one?

I have an issue that has remained pending for so many years in my constituency, concerning the construction of a border crossing point.

At Muluanda?

Yes, Muluanda. Good. You know. It has remained pending for so many years. We have been with you to the highest offices, but we do not seem to…

I thought we opened that border post with Mzee Kibaki when he was President?

Nothing. Not even a single stone has ever been done. It has not been operational since 2009.

But is it gazetted as an international border point?

Yes. But no construction has happened. We have been with you even to see the President at State House, yet nothing has moved. Is it possible that you…

File a request, too. The Leader of the Majority Party will pass it on.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Next order. Hold on, Hon. Fatuma. I had called you, but let me first acknowledge the following schools. We have become very popular with schools. We have many schools coming in. In the Public Gallery, we have Milimani High School from Naivasha Constituency, Nakuru County; Riverbank PEFA Academy from Starehe Constituency, Nairobi County; and Sawagongo High School from Gem Constituency, Siaya County…

[(Applause)]

Hon. 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 Education regarding the status of disbursement of the Kenya–DAAD Partial Scholarship Programme. The programme was initiated in June 2010 by the Government of Kenya, through the Ministry of Education, to support faculty capacity building in pub…

Thank you, Hon. Fatuma. Leader of the Majority Party, I do not see anyone from the Departmental Committee on Education here. Hon. Naomi, please inform them to submit a response in the first week after recess.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will tell the Chairman to do that.

Thank you.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Yes, Hon. Fatuma.

Thank you. On a different note, on behalf of Hon. Odege, we had requested a Statement from the Ministry of Lands through the Committee, and they were supposed to give a response today. I can see they are not in the House, and they have not communicated. Yet it was urgent. It was on the land issue in Nyatike.

You are not Hon. Odege.

I am a Member of Parliament for Migori County, a resident of Nyatike, and a cousin to Hon. Odege.

[(Laughter)]

That notwithstanding, he needs to write to the Hon. Speaker, appointing you to hold brief for him. The next and last on Statements, I got a written

notification that Hon. Mayaka would receive a Statement on behalf of Hon. Dorice Donya. Are you properly briefed?

Just a few pages.

How long will you take to respond?

Around six minutes.

Go ahead.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to the Request for Statement by Hon. Donya, the Member of Parliament for Kisii County, regarding the persistent discharge of raw sewage into public spaces. In particular, the Hon. Member sought a report on the following:

Hon. Mayaka, umetosheka?

Hon. Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. On behalf of Hon. Dorice Donya, I would like to register her dissatisfaction with the response to the Request for Statement that has been received. Some of the issues Hon. Donya cites are, for example, the fact that NEMA did not indicate the last time they conducted a cleanup activity. What have they done in reference to the blocked drainage…

Hon. Kawaya, are you satisfied?

Hon. Speaker, you had directed that we provide a preliminary response to this Statement yesterday.

Yes.

This is a matter that requires us to engage more with the Member. I agree that a lot needs to be done. However, it is also important to note that NEMA will not basically solve the issue of a blocked sewer. It needs all the players. The NEMA takes on the role of ensuring supervision and inspection so that the right thing is done. For that to happen, we need to resource NEMA. I just said one of the …

Yes, Hon. Ngogoyo.

Thank you, Hon. Chair.

Which Chair?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is an issue on the Athi River, whose source is Ngong. There is a perennial issue of sewage disposal, especially in peri-urban areas bordering Nairobi and the Athi River. Hon. Speaker, task the Chairperson of the Committee to do something. The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) provides means and ways of mitigating environmental challenges. They may …

causing more harm. I request the Chairperson to please come up with a report on how he can help, even on sewerage challenges. At least you can treat the waste so that whatever you take to the river causes less environmental damage. This is allowed in the EMCA. You can help people along rivers understand what they should do to reduce the risk of further environmental damage. You have not come up wi…

Hon. Kawaya.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We endeavour to do more. For the Member's comfort, a lot is happening. You can see what is happening at the riverbanks and along the Nairobi River. The section where a lot of work has already been done, under the cleanup programme within the Nairobi River, had the overflows. The NEMA is still working on that. If we want a permanent solution, we must empower NEMA to ensure…

Chairperson, I find your response wholly inadequate. Hon. Donya's question or request for a Statement concerned raw sewage entering public places, not only rivers, football pitches, and other places. Let us take that as a preliminary Statement. When we resume from recess, relook at what she requested and what Hon. Ngogoyo and Hon. Mayaka have said, and then bring a comprehensive Statement.

Most obliged.

Let us dispose of Orders No. 9 and 10, and then we go to Order No. 8.

Go back to Order No. 8.

Leader of the Majority.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion in an amended format: THAT, notwithstanding the resolution of the House of Wednesday, 11th February 2026 relating to limitation of debate on a Sessional Paper, this House resolves to extend the debate on Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2025 on Partial Divestiture in Safaricom PLC by the Government of Kenya by a period not exceeding one hour. I have moved …

Hon. Junet.

Hon. Speaker, I second.

[(Question proposed)]

[(Hon. Brighton Yegon walked in the aisle)]

Order, Hon. Brighton. You are a second-termer; you cannot be walking around when the Speaker is on his feet. The Motion had only 12 minutes to go. We have added one hour. I have names here of Members recommended to be given priority. Let me know if they are in the House. Hon. Harrison Kombe? He is not in. Order, Hon. Oundo. Hon. Wanjiku Muhia and Hon. Geoffrey Wandeto are in the House. Hon. Milli…

[(Question put and agreed to)]

[(Hon. (Dr) Ojiambo Oundo and several other Members raised their hands)]

Hon. Oundo, you did not speak? You are a perennial speaker here. We will end this debate at 5.58 p.m. Before I give the Floor to Hon. Wanjiku Muhia, I want to acknowledge, in the Speaker's Gallery, St. Peter's Mumias Boys High School, Mumias West, Kakamega County. On my behalf and on behalf of the House, I welcome the students, their teachers, and those accompanying them to the House of Parliament…

Chairperson, to report progress.

Hon. Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Tea Amendment Bill (Senate Bill No. 1) of 2023, up to New Clause 14A and approved the same with amendments and seeks leave to sit again.

The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Peter Kaluma). Mover.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Committee in the said Report. I request Hon. Sabina Chege to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I second. The Temporary Speaker . Thank you, Hon. Sabina Chege. Hon. Members, I propose the question again. Hon. Members, remember that the Question relates to the Report of the House to adjourn to sit again. Not on the amendments. Thank you. Let us be upstanding.

[(Hon. Peter Kaluma)]

[(Question proposed)]

[(Question put and agreed to)]
