• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, in the last Parliament, there is something I alluded to. I attempted to bring a Bill on the Parliamentary Society of Kenya and I was really bashed. Today, the very Member who was my key critique is the Chairman of Former Parliamentarians Society of Kenya. Therefore, roles changed. I am trying to say that you have an opportunity, just like Hon Millie Odhiambo has said, to perfectly fight for your rights without infringing on the rights of other people. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is something that Hon. Millie Odhiambo has also alluded. I want to advise Hon. Chepkong’a that when he gets this position, he should be friendly to ladies and more generous, just like Hon. Millie Odhiambo has said, so that when he seeks another public appointment next time, they will not accuse him of being aloof when it comes to ladies’ affairs. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, this is a time when we are going through serious governance talk. I appeal to His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta to continue appointing former MPs to key positions because they are the most experienced and are all-round. In countries like the United States of America, former MPs are the best public speakers; they are the best motivational speakers. Therefore, whenever the President considers giving more key positions to former MPs, it adds value. view
• 1 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Vice Chair for the time. view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to contribute to this Petition. There are two aspects to this Petition. One, it is good to appreciate that the KDF are in Somalia as part of the re-added AMISOM forces; they are not there purely as KDF forces. Therefore, as part of our military diplomacy, we must also appreciate the good work and the professional services offered by the members who are the great men and women who serve under the KDF under a different assignment - whether it is under AMISOM, the African Union or the United Nation (UN). Having said ... view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: With this, I think the Petition is good. I hope the relevant Committee will deal with it expeditiously, understand and contextualise all issues relating to the security challenges that communities that live along the Kenya-Somalia border face. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank Hon. Pukose for bringing this very important point of order. Just like the media has the right to inform, they are obligated, under the current Constitution, to fair hearing. Criminal responsibility is not collective. It is individual. I took a bit of interest and got the two particular newspapers on that particular day. When a newspaper comes up with such a sensational headline: “ House of bribes ”, there are 416 Members! If we add the two speakers, there are 418. This is collective punishment not only to the Members of Parliament and that ... view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: “All sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya and shall be exercised only in accordance with this Constitution.” Article 1 (2) says: “The people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through their democratically elected representatives.” view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Here we are. Article 93 of the Constitution talks about the establishment of Parliament. Article 94 talks about the role of Parliament. Article 95 talks about the role of the National Assembly while Article 96 talks about the role of the Senate. Article 125 talks about the role of the Committees. More fundamentally, Article 125 of the Constitution equates the role of Committees to the High Court. Therefore, with these powers, how are the Members of Parliament expected to discharge their constitutional functions of oversight, legislation, budget- making and representation? How will they do it if they do not travel? ... view
• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: referred to the relevant Committee so that, that issue is investigated and we get fair hearing as an institution because we have been condemned as an entity. view
