• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Two, he has asked a question about a Union that he represents. At what stage does Hon. Sossion sit in that Committee as the Secretary-General of Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT), so that we protect the Government public officials? At what stage is he the nominated Member of Parliament who represents special interest? At what stage is he a Member of the Committee? There must be tidiness, decency, distinctions and boundaries. Going forward, the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Committee that deals with the Standing Orders must make this very clear. There is a matter on KNUT. I know that he has a serious issue with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TSC. However, Parliament, in its committees and Plenary, is under obligation to protect public and State officials who cannot defend themselves. The Committee under Hon. Florence Mutua can interrogate those questions. However, going forward, Hon. Sossion cannot have the cake and eat it. He cannot wear many hats and, at the same time, purport to wear one. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I do not think that there is need for debate. That is a matter that we have expressed. I do not need to be addressed on this matter. Sorry, I will not allow it. Very many trade unionists are raising up their hands. First and foremost, many of you who are trade unionists should be removed from the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Those of you who belong to the teachers’ trade unions should move away from the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. What Hon. Duale has said is true. From that Statement, Hon. Sossion said that money is being deducted and taken to KUPPET, which is not his union. It looks like it is an issue of which union should get the money. It becomes very convoluted, Hon. Members. I am saying this because it is a matter that we have discussed in the past. However, we left it to the good conscience of each of you. When you know that ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: The issue of conflict of interest is very well addressed both in the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, Leadership and Integrity Act and our Constitution. Indeed, remember that we are even supposed to have a register where you register conflict of interest. Hon. Sossion should have registered that one. Whether we like it or not, he is conflicted. Hon. Sossion, you do not have to address me on this issue. There is no way you can persuade anybody that when you are dealing with this matter, you are just like any other Member who left his or her constituency and ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I am sure that the Hon. Florence Mutua-led Committee would benefit a great deal when you are prosecuting these issues. Now, when they appear before you and give information and you are the one who has sought that information and later that information is found elsewhere, it becomes compromised. However, I would rather leave it you Members. It is a matter that the Procedures and House Rules Committee will be considering as it happens normally at the end of this term. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to support the Address by His Excellency the President which was in fulfilment of a constitutional duty under Article 132(1) (b) of the Constitution that obligates the Head of State, once in every year, to address a Special Sitting of Parliament. The President is obligated to place before the two Speakers and the House, specific documents; a document that deals with national security, a document that deals with the realisation of national values as referred to under Article 10 and shows how his Government is complying and, finally, to tell the country, the nation and the ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: course, I was disturbed to see a seasoned doctor, who is a former Permanent Secretary and Director of Medical Services, crying on national television. That was an indictment on the whole House. I want to categorically say that I am not part of those who are going to cry. If there are people who want to cry, please, cry in your individual capacity. Go to the television cameras and cry there. Do not cry while serving in a Committee of Parliament because a Committee is an extension of the House. view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, our doctors are dying. Kenyans are dying. I am sorry. You know I said a long time ago that there should be a change of guard. Our doctors are dying. Kenyan citizens are dying. It was very sad the other day, when I was not in the House, for a Member of Parliament to ask for a chopper. It is very ugly. We do not need choppers. We want to be treated the way other citizens are treated. We want to go through what our voters are going through. Members of Parliament are not special class. ... view
• 19 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with your permission, allow me two minutes. view
