• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue of historical land injustices whether during pre-colonial, colonial or after colonial times is emotive. Over the years, we have struggled to put in place institutions that deal with taxpayers’ fund. So, as much as the Petition by Hon. Sang is in order, it is high time we also insisted that these institutions - and the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: framers of the current Constitution have put it in place – are forced to work and effect their mandate so that the issue of land injustices is clearly sorted out. Otherwise, just waiting for one petition to come to the Floor of the House when we have institutions that are mandated to deal with this, yet they are not solving this is not right. We have funded them and it is high time that we as the representatives of the people, pursuant to Article 1 of the Constitution, invoked that Article and insisted that these institutions, including the National Land ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Petition is timely. I hope the Committee, in its own wisdom, will try to expand and look at all other historical land injustices and deal with this issue, once and for all. Thank you. view

• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a straightforward Motion. I want to thank the Mover. He has already answered some of the questions that we have been asking, like why money allocated to respective constituencies has not been released. The answer that he has offered explains the reasons. And we generally understand that there is a bit of a cash crunch.

• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: We are all familiar with the reason the Fund was created. It is high time we made sure it functions in line with the Constitution and the NG-CDF Act. Sometimes there are exceptional challenges on the role of a Member of Parliament. This is one thing that we should clarify as much as possible. Does the Member of Parliament as a patron have a day-to-day role in the management of NG-CDF Committees? The answer is no. The law is very clear. Attempts by hon. Members to perform the functions of NG-CDF Committee should cease. We should allow NG-CDF Committees to ... view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. While appreciating what the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security has done, there is something we must voice, as Members of Parliament. The governance structure we have is that members of the Executive are outside Parliament. Chairpersons are left with a task of explaining to the House and the Kenyan public Statements and Questions that they may not be really privy to. In the end, the Chairman and Parliament are blamed. view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I suggest that it is high time Chairs of committee put their feet down and take to task Cabinet Secretaries and other senior Government officials who give a bad image to the Government by not responding to Questions and Statements. I imagine that a Statement related to security is normally urgent and requires a lot of due diligence. The Chairman is here and I am surprised the Members are asking for two weeks. But that is their right. A Statement related to security is urgent. Therefore, in future, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security or ... view
