• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I empathise with Hon. Mohamed Adow for bringing this very important question. Equally, I also appreciate the answer that has been brought by Hon. Yegon. We can see the confused role of a Member of Parliament in this constitutional infrastructure which actually is clouded and does not make any sense at all. We asked a question to the honourable colleague who is disadvantaged because he is denied the right information by those who are tasked with it; that is, the Cabinet Secretary and the Principal Secretary. view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: I request Hon. Adow, first of all, to direct this question to the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Agriculture so that he comes here and we can direct the question. The Preamble of the current Constitution says, acknowledging the supremacy of the Almighty God. view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, request the Hon. Members to consult silently. view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: The Preamble of the current constitution says: “We the people of Kenya- ACKNOWLEDGING the supremacy of the Almighty God of all creation: HONOURING those who heroically struggled to bring freedom and justice to our land: PROUD of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity and determined to live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation.” This preamble is not out of the blue. The framers of the current Constitution had in mind what can bring together, under the sovereign Republic of Kenya, the membership of the 42 nation states including the Somali nation state, the Luo nation state and ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: I want to amplify something. I plead with the patron of the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG). The era of lamentation is gone. Let us forget about that. The framers of the current Constitution gave us an opportunity to catch up with other Kenyans by providing the Equalisation Fund. It has not been implemented and yet, we are over 105 Members of Parliament in this august House. We need to go back to the drawing board. Let me finish this. We need to go back to the drawing board and deal with it decisively, legally and constitutionally, and with those who ... view
• 6 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Under the leadership of the PPG, this is a very important issue. We will not allow us to go to the next decade under this marginalisation. I am in receipt of a document. It is not only the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development. In fact, irrigation and livestock are not defined. If you go to the Bretton Woods institutions, you will realise that all the funds that are meant - and I want Hon. Adow to hear this - for the disadvantaged regions are diverted by the technocrats. It is not the mistake of the Members of Parliament, but ... view
• 5 Nov 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I remember when I was elected to the 8th Parliament as a young legislator, Members of Parliament were working as if Parliament was an extension of the Office of the President though constitutionally, it was one of the three arms of Government. Hon. Oloo Aringo, for those of us who have been around and worked with him, remember him as a courageous, foresighted parliamentarian who thought outside of the box. And for those of us who were there, we have nicknamed him the ‘father’ of the Parliamentary Service Commission. When I was first elected, my ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the first alumnus of Moi University to ever be elected to public office, I am shocked, dismayed and flabbergasted to see that giant institution struggling today. We must call a spade a spade. During our time, Moi University was everything in terms of infrastructure and academic excellence. Taking into account the prevailing circumstances at the university, would I be in order to suggest that we form an ad hoc committee to look into this matter? I do not want to pre-empt on what action would be taken, but the matter should not be dealt with ... view
• 18 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: once and for all, so that it does not join the league of public institutions that have been run down. Hon. Speaker, I seek your indulgence so that we can form an ad hoc committee to inquire into this matter. We should deal with it comprehensively, once and for all. Thank you. view
