• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am sure you will compensate the two minutes that you have taken out of my five minutes. view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, one of the things that we must be prepared to address right now is — and I thought the greatest lady from Siaya would be around to listen to the great contributions from many Members so that as you look at this, it will even inform amendments. By the way, do not just be contented with the provision that you have given, because Members might generate more critical suggestions that will enrich the Bill. That is why it is imperative that the Mover of the Bill should be around. We need to look at this from ... view

• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank Hon. (Dr.) Mishra. This is a good proposal. However, we need to expand our horizon of thinking. This country is not short of legislations. If you reflect on the many things that we have done since colonial and Independence times, you will realise that in terms of legislative framework and enactment of the law, we are the best. However, in terms of implementation… Hon. (Dr.) Mishra, and the House at large, some of the things that we seek to legislate are supposed to be covered under the ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: determine the genuineness of a doctor in deciding whether Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ or myself or someone else requires specialised treatment, God forbid, in a particular facility outside Kenya? That can only be informed by the ethics and the consciousness of that particular individual during the recommendation. Even if we develop policies as anything under this particular proposal, we need to go back to the drawing board and ensure that we have a societal change that can be seen in our politics, economy, education and, generally, in the way we interact. I am told that between 1970 and 1974, Kenya was ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Congratulations to Dr. Mishra. view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to invoke Standing Order No.216. I heard what the Chairman has said and I find it completely unacceptable in the 12th Parliament. Departmental Committees are created pursuant to Standing Order No.216 and their functions are clear. Committees can invoke that Standing Order and interrogate anything about the line Ministries that they oversee. I, therefore, find it irrelevant for a Chair of a committee to come to the plenary and seek the indulgence of the Chair. He has the powers. If there is any jurisdictional conflict with a particular committee, he should seek a ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a bit perplexed and disappointed. If Engineer Karue was here today, he would be as disappointed as I am. We are being taken back to pre-1999 era. One of the critical components in the formation of the NG-CDF Board or infrastructure was to enable a Member of Parliament to have a facility that will enable him or her to function independently from the Executive or other arms of the Government. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Why Engineer Karue and those who were there at that time came up with Constituencies Development Fund (CDF)…. If you reflect a bit, even for a second and look at the Member of Parliament in 1999 and right now, and compare with what we are complaining about, you will realise that we, as Members of Parliament, have disappointed the 12th Parliament. It is not fair to blame Hon. Wamunyinyi. Look at the Budget cycle. We have the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Constituencies Development Committee, National Treasury and NG-CDF Board. The relationship among these different entities is meant to enable the ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: If Kenyans down there realise that their Members of Parliament are complaining about disbursement of NG-CDF, then we will lose our oversight mandate or role. Therefore, what Hon. Wamunyinyi and his team tabled today should have been the first item after the Appropriation Bill was assented to. That should have come one or two days after His Excellency the President assented to the Appropriation Bill. It has come one month later. This is (inaudible) . view
