• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Yes. Hon. Speaker, thank very much. This touches on investments. Being the Chair of PIC, I feel I should say something. I appreciate and thank the Government for intervening on this critical investment called KQ. We need to understand the nature of our economy. All of us profess and say Kenya is a premier nation but underlying that is something that we must all be prepared to jealously protect. How do we do it? Look at countries like United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the services offered by the Emirates Airlines. The Emirates Airlines is one of the loss making international ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. Your considered ruling on the same has assisted so many Members from randy and other parties that are not run according to their own rules. So, this Standing Order is properly done and has taken into account your ruling, I think Members will have a proper avenue in ensuring that whatever grievances they have are properly addressed. So, this is a good proposal. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I think this is a progressive amendment. This is a good one. Having been the Chair of PIC for the last four years, it is has been very difficult. Like in the Coalition Government, the Majority comes from one party and the Chairman comes from the other party, the Vice Chairman--- It is extremely difficult and you do not have a synergy. This is a good proposal and I thank the Committee Members for suggesting this. I am sure this will add a lot of value to those who will be appointed. It is also ... view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, issues that we have been canvassing through constitutional amendments cannot be cured through the Standing Orders. Therefore, I think as much as I respect Hon. Dennitah Ghati, it will not be fair at this late stage to have the same canvassed. Let us sort it our constitutionally and I am sure the other bit will be sorted out naturally after that is done. Therefore, I oppose that vehemently view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. The proposals by the Committee are good and fundamental. Oversight committees are just like other committees. Therefore, I am moving an amendment on the appointment of Members and the terms. “The Members of the Committee shall be nominated and approved by the House at the commencement of every Session.” I find that a bit repugnant. It kills every aspect of institutional memory. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I am glad that you are here as a former Chair of one of those Committees. It is extremely difficult to have new Members at the end of every Session. Actually, it is illogical. I do not understand. Whoever brought this takes us back to where we were--- view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the proposed Standing Orders be amended by: (i) Deleting paragraph (5) of the proposed Standing Order 205 and substituting thereof the following new paragraph- “(5) The Public Accounts Committee constituted immediately following the general elections shall serve for the term of that Parliament.” The justification is just as Hon. Serem has alluded to. There is need for continuity and consistency. The Members require time to stabilise, train and familiarise themselves with issues. These laws are made for posterity. Therefore, taking into account the provision of Standing Order No.176, if any party is ... view

Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Standing Order No.206 be amended by deleting paragraph (6) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph– The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
