Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Supplementary Estimates II.

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have not left my trail of contribution.

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, all these interruptions are meant to dissuade the alternative voice in this House. Nonetheless, I still insist, we are representatives of the people and I have to remind this House. In 2024, this House passed the Finance Bill, 2024. Almost 90 per...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will not respond to the Leader of the Majority Party simply because there was no point of order and he is just lucky that he caught your eye and got a chance to contribute. My contribution was rightly put that as...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support the Bill. It is true that we have to be fair to business people who may be undertaking reorganization of their own companies at stakeholder level. However, I also want to be very keen on...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. While I am putting my word on the use of Article 223, I would also like to hear a very clear apology from the Cabinet Secretary to the teachers who marked the exams and never got their pay. My mother...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to comment on this inquiry. I wish to note that I come from a very strong tea-growing area, Embu, which has over three tea factories: Kathangariri, Mungania, and Rukuriri. Those are among the factories that lead in...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I have just indicated that two young men in Ishiara lost their lives through bullets. I also said that 10 cartridges were collected by IPOA at the site. The Cabinet Secretary has no mandate to continue saying that he is in charge...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) My good friend from Nyeri Town should not show lack of knowledge of the procedure of this House. The Temporary Speaker (Hon. Martha Wangari) Do not answer the Member. Continue with your contribution to the debate. (Laughter) Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker,...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) It is a big shame.

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill knowing very well the crisis and the conflicts that are brought about by cattle theft. We have seen a rise in theft of livestock in areas such as Meru that used to be...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will repeat what I said. The status of this House is that we have a broad-based system that has made it very hard to get Members to support something that is against the Government. That is a fact. I have substantiated...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) I also rise to say that I support the reduction. However, we need to do more because every single part of our lives is affected by fuel prices.

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Petition on human-wildlife conflict. I urge this House to try as much as possible to enhance the budget for KWS. Getting the right data on who to compensate is quite difficult. I agree with Hon....

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) 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...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Commodities Fund is a very familiar term in my constituency. Many of our factories, especially coffee factories, have always had debts from the Commodities Fund. This Fund was established in 2013 under the Crops Act, 2013, in the 11th...

Hon. Gitonga Mukunji (Manyatta, UDA) 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...
