• 6 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairperson of the Committee for bringing the Report. You can see the structural deficiencies in our Constitution. That is why the person who will be responding to Questions in the next Parliament must be a member of the Executive. You can imagine the situation where the Chairperson, who is not a member of the Executive but an MP, is now tasked with the responsibility of getting information that is very difficult to obtain. Secondly, we must not be seen to be condemning the entire National Police Service. The Service consists ... view

• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: a critical role in the governance of the Republic of Kenya. It was wrong for anybody to exclude Members of Parliament from the list of essential service providers. That is why Members of Parliament are suffering. Let us put our foot down. This is not a privilege. Let Members of Parliament be classified and included as essential service providers just like in all other developed and civilised countries. That is the only way we will avoid a scenario where Hon.

I also understand the import of the contribution of the Leader of the Majority Party. There is no harm in this amendment because we have done it in the past. It will be at the discretion of the Commission. The composition of the Commission is spelt out under Article 127 of the Constitution. Once in a while, we have done it. So, I see no harm in this amendment. Therefore, let us go ahead and approve it. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This amendment by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is very good. It is consistent with some of the pronouncements the courts have been making over the last few years, including some that we legislated in the last Parliament. This is prudent and in line with the Fair Administrative Action Act and Article 55 of the Constitution, which allows the face of Kenya, taking into account education, race and everything else. view
