• 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. Anab and Hon. Waruguru are stopped on the road and subjected to all sorts of suffering. Through you and the ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I came back a long time ago. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is a very important amendment and I am glad that the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has done further to clean it up. This is actually the core function of the commission. For those of you who were around before the birth of the commission in 1999, almost all the technical support used to come from the Executive. It is a reality that we have three arms of Government. Of course, there are other emerging arms of Government. We must respect the sanctity and the special place of ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I appreciate the sentiments and I understand where the Chair is coming from. 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
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I agree with that amendment. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in fact, I thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs but plead with him that we leave it the way it is in the original Bill. The further amendment by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will cause jurisdictional conflict, perception crisis and will also negate the miscellaneous amendment that we passed just last week. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: It is understood that the Commission is one, the staff are one and the roles of both Houses are there. So, there is no need to put this in the Bill. Let us leave it the way it is in the Bill. The way it is drafted in the Bill takes care of everything and is also consistent with the amendment that we passed. Therefore, the further amendment by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will just cause conflict. I beg that the Chair withdraws it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: What Hon. Oundo said is correct. I plead with my brother, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, to withdraw his amendment and allow it to remain the way it is properly framed in the Bill. view
