National Assembly · Afternoon Sitting

Hon. Members, allow me to convey a Petition regarding introduction of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Park Ticketing Portal and the resulting financial hardship to the tourism industry in the county. Hon. Members, 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) mandates the Speake…

systems. Although bank transfer has since been added, it remains unreliable and non-functional. THAT, the Petitioner avers that the new system introduced a hidden and discriminatory 5 per cent gateway fee, only revealed at the final payment stage, which results in unequal charges for identical services and imposes an unbudgeted financial burden on industry players, amounting to losses. THAT, the…

[(Applause)]

Hon. Members, we will go to Statements. I saw a letter from Hon. Rael Kasiwai. She wrote it to nominate somebody to request the Statement. Was she nominating Hon. Moroto? Clerks-at-the-Table, do you have the letter? Hon. Rael Kasiwai nominated a Member from West Pokot. The Member is not here. We will stay the Statement.

Hon. Samuel Moroto. I think the letter covered Hon. Moroto as well. They said they were away on some urgent matter. We will stay the two Statements to Thursday afternoon.

Hon. Tandaza Kassim, Member of Parliament for Matuga.

Hon. Speaker, 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 Environment, Forestry and Mining regarding persistent discharge of raw sewage into public spaces during rainy seasons. It is unfortunate that there is a recurrent phenomenon where raw sewage often overflows onto roads, residential estates,…

Thank you, Hon. Donya. Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining. Hon. Owen, who is the Chair? Yes, Woman Representative of Kericho County.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From what she has said, it is something serious. Please, give us two weeks. I will talk to the Chair.

Are you a Member of the Committee?

Yes. I am a Member of the Committee.

Two weeks?

Two weeks.

Yes, Hon. Donya. Give Hon. Donya the microphone.

You see the rains are causing havoc. They are not going to get the response from Japan or Ethiopia. It is just within. I think one week or even two days is enough. Serious issues must be taken seriously. They should even be responded to within a day.

Hon. Beatrice Kemei, can your Chair or you bring a response on Thursday afternoon? This is a very straightforward matter.

Maybe next week on Tuesday.

Tuesday will be on recess.

Hon. Speaker, you know it is not one area. It is the whole country, so allow the Chair to do it next week.

Recess.

Contact your line ministry and bring at least a preliminary response on Thursday afternoon. Hon. Amos Mwago, Member for Starehe.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. 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 Lands regarding delayed issuance of a provisional certificate of Title Deed to Ms. Salamat Bibi Sheikh of ID No.10224231. Hon. Speaker, Ms Salamat Bibi Sheikh is the administrator of the estate of the late Rehmat Ali Sheikh, Noo…

Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands. Hon. Owen Baya. I think I saw the Departmental Committee on Lands in vetting.

The Chair sits somewhere here.

Can you instruct them to bring a response the first Wednesday after recess?

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you. Next is Hon. Lochakapong. Hon. Kasiwai, now that you are here, start with your own Statement.

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Next will be Hon. Moroto’s, followed by Hon. Lochakapong.

I will start with the one for Hon. Lochakapong.

Start with your own.

Hon. Speaker, 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 Administration and Internal Security regarding the status and jurisdiction of Aroo Sub-County Administrative Unit. The Ministry of Interior and National Administration, vide Gazette Notice No. 2969 dated 17th March 2022, established admini…

Hold on, Hon. Kasiwai. Chair, Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security, Hon. Tongoyo, when can you bring a response?

We can do it on Wednesday once we resume from recess.

The first Wednesday.

The first Wednesday, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you. On behalf of Hon. Samuel Moroto, let us have Hon. Kasiwai.

Hon. Speaker, 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 Blue Economy.

Put it on record that it is on behalf of Hon. Samuel Moroto. It is not your Statement.

Thank you. On behalf of Hon. Samuel Moroto, the Member for Kapenguria Constituency, 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 Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation regarding the implementation of the Turkwel-Lokichar Water and Irrigation Project under the South Lokichar Field Development Plan. Hon…

Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Blue Economy, Water and Irrigation, Hon. Bowen, can you respond?

Hon. Speaker, I do not know. Hon. Moroto is not here. This is something we discussed with the Ministry. I have the answer. It is only that she is asking on behalf of Hon. Moroto, who is not in. Hon. Speaker: When is Hon. Moroto going to be here? Are you ready to take the answer? Hon. Bowen, tomorrow in the afternoon.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker: In fact, we can load tomorrow in the morning. Hon. Kasiwai, will you be here tomorrow morning on behalf of Hon. Moroto? Hon. Rael Kasiwai : I will, Hon. Speaker.

[(West Pokot County, KUP)]

Hon. Speaker: Clerk-at- Table, put that response to tomorrow morning. Hon. Kasiwai on behalf of Hon. Lochakapong.

We will have the response on the first Wednesday of next month.

Thank you. Hon. Members, allow me to acknowledge students who are seated in the Speaker's Gallery. They are: St. Anne's Lioki Girls High School, Kiambu Township, Kiambu County and Sosit Girls Secondary School, Bureti Constituency, Kericho County. In the Public Gallery, we have Karocho Secondary School from Tharaka Constituency, Tharaka Nithi County. Hon. Komingoi, you have requested that I give yo…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to welcome the beautiful girls and their teachers who are in both the Speaker's and the Public galleries. They are here to see for themselves the discourse that is happening in the House of Parliament. On behalf of this House, we want to tell the girls that they have the opportunity to transform their lives, communities and the people they surr…

Thank you, Hon. Komingoi. On my behalf and that of the House, we welcome the students, their teachers and those accompanying them to the House of Parliament. Let us have Hon. Njeri

Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the safety of learners at Kerugoya School for the Deaf. On 2nd March 2026, a teacher at Kerugoya School for the Deaf was arrested following allegations of defilement of an eight-year-old female pupil at the institution. …

Thank you, Hon. Njeri. Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Education. I thought I saw Hon. Melly walking in. Hon. Owen, when can you bring a response?

Hon. Makilap is a Member of the Committee. He can undertake to bring a response, on behalf of the Chair.

Hon. Makilap, bring the response on the first Wednesday upon resumption from the short recess. It will be on 1st April.

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker. 1st April will be Fools’ Day.

Do not come to fool us. It will be a Fools’ Day for fools out there, but not in this House. Hon. Tungule, you said you wanted to find out about a response to an earlier Statement you had requested. Go ahead.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On 15th October 2025, I requested for a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Defence, Intelligence and Foreign Relations regarding the death and burial…

Hon. Tungule, if you asked for it on 15th October before the long recess, it lapsed. When we came back, I directed that any Member who had a Statement that had lapsed to go to the Table Office and resurrect them. Did you?

I missed that Communication, Hon. Speaker.

Discontinue what you are saying, take your seat and then go to the Table Office and embark on resurrecting your request for Statement. Once you do so, I will allocate you time to request once more. If you do it this afternoon, I can slot you on Thursday. Hon. Members, allow me to acknowledge, in the Speaker’s Gallery, students from Kabare Girls High School from Gichugu Constituency, Kirinyaga Cou…

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is, indeed, an honour to welcome the girls to the 13th Parliament. I encourage them and tell them that I was once a student at Kabare Girls. My dormitory was Longonot. We used to call it Long Tea. I was the Music Captain. I used to offer some entertainment, if you talked to me nicely. We are here because the Constitution of Kenya has afforded women the opportunity to b…

You have said everything except welcoming them to Parliament. Did you welcome them?

Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Gacheri. Hon. Members, those who have an interest in the policy on hardship areas, the Prime Cabinet Secretary is supposed to come to the House tomorrow to give a Statement on the issue. I have received communication that he is out of the country. Therefore, Hon. Owen Baya, organise with your office to have him here the first Wednesday, 1st April, upon resumption after the short re…

Much obliged, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly No. 57 of 2025) be now Read a Third Time. I request Hon. Fatuma, Full Network, to second because of the diligence in her work. As you may have noticed, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Hon. Fatuma is among chairpersons of committees who diligently and patiently sit in the House waiting for busin…

connect us with our neighbouring countries, but also develop a light railway system within Nairobi City. You saw what happened last week when it rained on Friday. Many people arrived home at 2.00 a.m. or 3.00 a.m. because of traffic congestion. If we have a light railway system within the city, we will not need the many cars that come into the city. I look forward to the implementation of this Bil…

Member for Migori, the very diligent one, Hon. Fatuma. I do not oppose that statement.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I beg to second.

[(Question proposed)]

Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you very much. I take the cue from the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, who has passed the most fundamental Bills in this Parliament. The most consequential Bills in the whole life of this country have been moved in the 13th Parliament. They always bear the name of Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah. We need to congratulate him. Having said that, I take the c…

for Manyatta, to second the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House.

Member for Manyatta.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As I second this Motion, we share revenue in this House. We need to increase and improve the oversight of the divided revenue in the counties. I say this knowing very well that there has been an uproar from the governors, claiming that they do not want to be overseen and asked questions. At one point, my governor apologised in the Senate for diverting Ksh10 milli…

[(Question proposed)]

[(Question put and agreed to)]

Mover to move Third Reading.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Division of Revenue Bill (National assembly Bill No. 2 of 2026) be now read a Third Time. In the previous Division of Revenue Bills, there is always a clause that in case of revenue shortages, they will be borne by the national Government and not county governments. That clause has been removed in this Bill. Going forward, if there are revenue shortag…

I second the Bill as proposed by the Mover. Thank you.

Hon. Mwashako, did you second the Bill?

Can I retake it?

Yes.

I second. Thank you.

[(Question proposed)]

[(Question put and agreed to)]

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

Next Order.

Hon. Members, Chairperson of the Special Funds Accounts Committee, as you move, I realise you have two. For the reason raised by the Leader of the Majority Party, you will move them back-to-back. You will prosecute both Orders 11 and 13, and then we will go back to Order 12.

Thank you for that consideration. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Special Funds Accounts

The Accounting Officer was, therefore, found to be in breach of Section 68(2)(k) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. The Committee recommended that the Accounting Officer ensures timely submission of the accounting records and documentation required for audit verification in strict compliance with Section 31(4) of the Public Audit Act, 2015. The Judiciary Mortgage Scheme lacks enabling leg…

Hon. Kivasu.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to second the Motion that this House adopts the Report of the Special Funds Accounts Committee on its consideration of the audited accounts of the Judiciary Mortgage Scheme Fund for the Financial Years 2011/2012 to 2021/2022. The examination by the Committee of the reports of the Auditor General over the eleven-year period provides this House with an oppor…

[(Question proposed)]

Hon. Members, there are many Members indicated on the screen. I am not sure whether it is for this. Hon. Member for Kaiti, are you in the House? Hon. Njeri Maina? Hon. Lotee, are you on this? Hon. Members, for good order, can we indicate through the intervention if you are willing to speak on this? Hon. Mayaka?

Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to the debate. I want to thank the Chairlady and her Committee for

bringing this Report to the Floor of the House. Looking at the issues that have been raised by the Committee and what has been observed, it is quite clear that this particular Fund is not being properly managed and that it needs more scrutiny. It does not make sense why the Judiciary has allowed its Mortgage Scheme Fund to be deposited in a bank. Already, the mortgages that the Judiciary members a…

Very well. Member for Kitui Central, Hon. Makali.

I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. You can see I had to relocate from my desk. I do not know what has happened to my system. Somebody went there and did funny things. I can no longer access the system.

I can see you now.

I thank you for this opportunity and the Special Funds Accounts Committee for this Report on the Judiciary Mortgage Scheme Fund for the Financial Years 2011/2012 to 2021/2022. I have listened to the Chairperson of the Committee moving the Report, seconded by Hon. Kivasu, which raised several fundamental issues, and most of them concern accountability. I was a bit surprised when Hon. Kivasu said we…

money, borrowing left and right, yet the little money we get from our taxes, and Kenyans have been very faithful in paying taxes, we cannot manage. The Constitution is very clear. We need prudent management of public resources. So, for this kind of Report, this House needs to move to the next level, which is sanctions. We need to start talking about what sanctions we can impose on some of the acc…

Member for Manyata.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have discussed many audit reports here, and one consistent thing is the backlog of the audit reports. Today, we are discussing and receiving a Report of the audit reports for 2011/2012 to 2021/2022. That tells you that even if the Committee finds issues with the audit report, you will find that even the officers who were in charge, most likely, have already le…

Hon. Mwashako, I see you beckoning, but I do not see you here in the system. Are you intending to speak on this?

Yes. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving an opportunity to support the Report from the Committee on Special Accounts Funds. I share the sentiments of my colleagues that the Judiciary can do better than having a mortgage scheme that is solely to support the staff of our able Judiciary. We do not expect Judiciary to abdicate their duty and give this Fund to a commercial bank. I hear and I …

and instead, they have chosen to give it to a bank, and we know, commercial banks in this country exist to make money. When we came up with this Fund, it was purely for the benefit of our staff who work for the Judiciary and this is similar to what happens in Parliament. We have a Parliamentary Mortgage Scheme that is managed purely by the Parliamentary Service Commission. So, the Judiciary as is …

Hon. Passaris? Not on this? Hon. Members, I do not see more interest in this. So, I will ask the Mover to reply. Hon.

You beg to reply?

I beg to reply, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Very well. Hon. Members, we shall defer the putting of the Question on this.

[(Putting the question deferred)]

As directed earlier, the next Order should go to Order Number 13. Hon. Chairperson, Special Funds Accounts Committee.

Member for Mumias East, Hon. Salasya.

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Committee’s Report on the following grounds. You are all aware that the Commodities Fund is one of the critical Funds that could have transformed this country's economy. I remember last year when the President came to Mumias Sugar Company, one of the issues that I raised there was that we have some loans that are owed by the Mumias Outgrowers Company (…

loans of MOCO to be written off, to date, there has been no significant report on that in this House. It is high time the Commodities Fund became serious in its work. If those loans had been written off and the properties held by the Commodities Fund were returned to the farmers of Mumias Sugar Company, the farmers could develop the sugarcane and use it to repay the loan more easily. My recommen…

Very well. Member for Kaiti. This is the second time I am calling you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity. I am sorry that you have called me twice. I want to take this time to first congratulate the Committee for the good job they have done. This Commodities Fund is very important to this country. This Fund can be utilised like what we are doing with the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) , whereby the money is going di…

Very well. Hon. Waqo.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I support this Report. I also congratulate the Committee for working very hard to bring this very important Report to this House. When you look at the Report, the financial years that it covers are 2018/2019, 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, which were before the current regime's time. It is good that we are trying to catch up on the lost years so that audited reports ca…

financial support to do large scale farming that will guarantee enough produce. The purpose of this Fund is to improve farm inputs, farm operations and price stabilisation. Unless we do that, our farmers may not have enough to do their farming to generate enough produce. The Fund is so friendly. When you look at it, the subsidised interest rate is between 3 per cent and 7.5 per cent which cannot …

The Member for Trans Nzoia County, Hon. Lillian Siyoi.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion by the Chairperson of the Special Funds Accounts Committee. I have gone through the Report, and I am surprised that we are talking about an audit report of the Financial Year 2021/2022, which has really delayed. The Commodities Fund is a very special Fund to farmers. We have many small-scale farmers who truly need this Fund to i…

Very well. Member for Yatta.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Report. The Commodities Fund is essential. It is meant to support farmers. We are talking about tea, coffee and cotton farmers, among many others, along the agricultural value chain. If you look at the Commodities Fund and the role it is supposed to play, it is meant to boost small-scale farmers. Most of these farmers depend on this Fund to …

accounts for the Financial Years 2018/2019 to 2021/2022, they present many grey areas and raise numerous questions about accountability and management. In principle, although it is supposed to be a revolving Fund, many farmers have not benefited properly from this Fund, and repayment of the loans has also been a problem. When you consider the impact, you find that many farmers, both currently and…

Hon. Mwashako.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to support the Report of the audited financial statements for the Commodities Fund for the Financial Years 2018/2019, 2019/2020, 2020/2021 and 2021/2022. This is a good opportunity for the august House to talk about the management of public resources. Kenya is ranked amongst the most corrupt countries in Africa and probably in the wor…

We say Kenya is an agricultural country. Historically, 80 per cent of our economy was supported by agriculture. It is concerning that despite allocating substantial funds, we cannot ascertain the value that is derived from this investment. We may be losing money that should benefit our people. Lastly, there is a lot of duplication. We have the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC) and numerous F…

Very well. There being no other interest in this, I will call upon the Mover to reply. Hon. Kivasu.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. On behalf of the Chairperson of the Special Fund Accounts Committee, I would like to thank the Members for their deliberation and support regarding the reports of the audited accounts for the Commodities Fund covering the Financial Years 2018/2019 to 2021/2022. For the benefit of the Members, this Committee oversees approximately 104 Funds. We began this oversig…

Hon. Members, according to the Standing Orders, the putting of the question on this Motion will be deferred to the next appointed time.
