Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, allow me to appreciate you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to welcome the great Siviliye Secondary School from my Navakholo Constituency. This is the second-best school in the entire County of Kakamega, displacing so many national schools. As much as it is in a rural constituency, it demonstrates very good and excellent academic performance. Allow me al…

Thank you. Hon. Murugara, do you also want to jump into that boat?

Thank you very much for allowing me to jump into the boat to welcome the young students both in the Public Gallery and the Speaker's Gallery. I am pointing out Kyeni Girls from Embu, Tumutumu Girls High School from Nyeri, and the other school from Navakholo. All these great girls' schools are very well known in the

country for performing so well. This is an opportunity for them to come and see what their leaders do here. May they feel welcome to observe the proceedings and feel that today they have interacted with the leaders their parents have elected, and the leaders they aspire to be in the future. May they feel welcome.

Thank you.On behalf of myself and the House, I welcome the students, their teachers, and those accompanying them to the House of Parliament.

Hon. Speaker, could you give us a few minutes?

Hon. Tindi Mwale, that is also to you. Are you ready with that? Do you need another few minutes? Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs, put your papers together. Let us go on to a Request by Paul Abuor. Is he in the House? Hon. Paul Abuor is not in the House. Request put aside for another opportunity next week. Hon. Mumina Bonaya? Not here. Member for Kesses? Yours is a …

[(Hon. Paul Abuor’s Request of Statement deferred)]

[(Hon. Mumina Bonaya’s Request of Statement deferred)]

Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker, for granting me the opportunity to make the following request. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding the recent declaration of certain positions in Moi University redundant. On 2nd April 2025, due to alleged financial constraints, Moi Univers…

terminated. This process raises questions on whether the payroll of the institution had been audited. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental

That is the one of Hon. Mohammed Daudi. Is Hon. Daudi in the House? Yes, go ahead.

Yes, Hon. Speaker, regarding the death of Mr Yusuf Ali Abdi. Hon. Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Mombasa County, Hon. Zamzam Mohammed, requested a statement regarding the unfortunate death of Mr Yusuf Ali Abdi following the partial collapse of the demolished building in Mombasa. The Member sought to be informed of measures taken by the Government to support the family of the Late Mr Yusuf …

collapse of the building. Standard police procedures were conducted, and the body was handed over to the family for final interment at Kikowani Cemetery. An inquest file No.1/2025 was officially opened by DCI Mombasa Urban to facilitate further inquiry into the circumstances surrounding his death. The case is pending under investigation. Hon. Speaker, regarding the status report of the investigat…

Mama Zamzam, are you satisfied?

Mheshimiwa Spika, sijaridhika, kwa sababu nilitaka wachunguze kwa kina kama mjenzi wa jengo hili alitumia njia sawa. Kwa nini ameongezea gorofa zaidi zilizoshinda msingi na hivyo kusababisha Yusuf kupoteza maisha yake? Yusuf alikuwa ni mwanabiashara mdogo tu pale Marikiti. Ameacha mjane na watoto. Kufikia sasa, hatujui familia yake inakula nini. Bado tunaambiwa tu uchunguzi unaendelea, na imechuku…

Hon. Raso, have you established any criminal culpability?

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate Hon. Zamzam’s concerns. Indeed, this was a very unfortunate incident. This particular response by the Cabinet Secretary states that there was a structural problem with the building, and they opened an inquest after the death of Mr Yusuf. Since the issue involves multiple agencies, they have gone a step further to involve the State Department of Publi…

Hon. Tongoyo, are you ready?

Yes.

Yesterday, I directed you and Hon. Epuyo Nanok to do two things. One was to visit Hon. Koimburi in the hospital, and the other was to bring a Statement and furnish information to the House on his disappearance and subsequent reappearance. Go ahead.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As you have stated, the House recalls that yesterday during the afternoon session, you instructed Hon. Nanok and I to visit Hon. Koimburi so that we can furnish the House with information. We did exactly as you directed, and we have a report from our visit and a status update report from the Inspector-General (IG) of the Police on the ongoing investigations concerning the …

I would like to read a jointly signed report by my colleague, Hon. Nanok, and me on the status report regarding our visit to Karen Hospital to assess the condition of Hon. George Koimburi. Following your ruling and the House resolution yesterday, on 27th May 2025, during the afternoon sitting, Hon. Daniel Nanok, the Chairperson of the Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library Committee, and I undert…

Order, Hon. Members. Members for Kajiado Central and Kajiado East, take your seats. The two Members from Kajiado County are on their feet at different points. Hon. Members, I would like to put the question at Order No.8. I hope you understand what it is.

[(Question put and negatived)]

The Bill will proceed to the Second Reading stage at an appropriate time. Next Order.

Hon. Wangwe, when we adjourned yesterday, you had 37 minutes left. You can now carry on.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I began moving the Motion yesterday. I raised general issues cutting across the corporations as well as specific issues. I had started highlighting issues on KEMSA. I will first focus on trade and other payables. On this issue, we observed that one supplier, M/s Med Africa Limited, was awarded a contract to install, supply and commission diesel fired incinerators in Busia…

[[The Speaker (Hon. Moses Wetang’ula) left the Chair] [The Deputy Speaker (Hon. Gladys Boss) took the Chair]]

There is also lack of effective internal controls in KVB. By law, every organisation must have an internal audit unit and a documented risk management policy. At the time of audit, this organisation had neither a full-fledged working internal audit nor a documented risk management policy. In that regard, my Committee recommends that the Accounting Officer, having been found in breach of Regulatio…

trading status of KBC, which is not a good thing. Therefore, what do we recommend? Upon adoption of this report, KBC should submit a comprehensive report with the details of the loan to the National Treasury and the Auditor-General. The National Treasury should also comment on the status of the loan and advice on when they intend to write it off, if need be. On the issue of KBC, there are problem…

Committee Services, who has supported the Committee to produce this Report. I also thank the leadership of the House for the opportunity given to the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture, through me, to submit this Report to the House. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I now request my colleague, the Member for Mandera County, Hon. Umul Kheir Kassim, to se…

Hold on a moment before you second. Allow me to recognise the presence of a school which is seated in the Public Gallery before they leave. I wish to recognise the presence of Pioneer Girls' School from Gatanga Constituency in Murang’a County.

[(Applause)]

Okay. You may welcome them.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me the liberty to welcome the school from Gatanga Constituency, on behalf of their Member of Parliament whom I heard has gone to Wamunyoro and is not available. Therefore, on his behalf and that of the House, I welcome them to the National Assembly. I pray that when the students from Pioneer Girls’ School grow up, they will find their way into this House, the …

[(Laughter)]

You may proceed, Hon. Umul.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to second the Report of the audited accounts of the State Corporations which are Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) , Kenya Veterinary Board, National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA) and KBC. I will speak about five cross-cutting issues that came up while we were deliberating on the R…

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second the Motion.

Yes, Leader of the Majority Party. Those Members who want to contribute, please, press the intervention button.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Firstly, allow me to congratulate the Chairperson and the Members of the Public Investments Committee on Social Services, Administration and Agriculture for their diligent work. If the Members noticed, some of these accounts like those of NACADA run from the Financial Year 2017/2018 all the way to the Financial Year 2020/2021. Many of the accounts that you have seen…

Secondly, allow me to speak about KEMSA. The Chairman, Hon. Wangwe, stipulated that they have reviewed their accounts from the Financial Year 2017/2018 and the Financial Year 2018/2019. The year we are waiting for is 2020/2021. This is why I am saying that we must push our accounting committees to review all these accounts promptly and report to the House so that action is taken at the right time.…
