transferred, or whether the county governments have enough capacity to perform certain functions. That is the bone of contention. The National Assembly felt that the transfer of functions to county governments should be done gradually based on the capacities of individual county governments, but the Senate deleted it. The senators argued that was not a mandate of the National Assembly. The same Senate wants to go to a referendum and take over the mandate of the National Assembly. I see the actions of the Senate to be very contradictory but that is for the people of Kenya to decide. On ...

29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure that many of them met in other different fora; not in the Chamber. I agree with the Senate’s proposed amendments to the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority Act, 2013 because the clause that the Senate proposes to delete relates to the regulation of the fisheries sector, which will be comprehensively legislated. When the National Assembly passes the Fisheries Management and Development Bill, 2014, this afternoon and if the President assents to it, the Senate’s proposal will have been addressed. So, the right place for these The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ...

amendments, according to the Senate and me, is not in the Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Authority Act; it should be in the Fisheries Management and Development Bill, 2014, which is scheduled for consideration by this House this afternoon. We disagreed with the Senate only on two issues, which I have highlighted. I agree with the other proposed amendments to the Kenya Agricultural, Livestock and Research Act, 2013, and to the Crops Act. The amendments they have proposed to the Crops Act, 2013, and the amendments they have proposed to the Kenya Agricultural, Livestock and Research Act, 2013---

Hon. Speaker, I need your intervention. There are a lot of loud consultations going on, particularly from one of the Members of the Speaker’s Panel, Hon. Cheboi. I do not know what he is canvassing. He needs to share with the whole House. I am sure that he is not canvassing on the impeachment Motion; it is on something else.

29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this used to happen when we opened school on the first day of the term in those old days. Those of us who went to public secondary schools, particularly those of us whose parents were very poor; we used to be very happy on the first day of a new term, when we went back to school from the village. That does not apply to those who went to high end schools like Braeburn and other expensive schools. Hon. Speaker, I agree with all the amendments except two, in respect of which I feel the National Assembly did ...

29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the import of this amendment as I have said earlier, was that the National Assembly amendment particularly on the health sector was for a gradual transfer of functions based on the capacities of the county governments. More so, it is about Level 5 hospitals. That as counties build capacities to handle Level 5 hospitals, the Transition Authority must use that. The Senate has said that the National Assembly has no such powers. That they cannot deal with county matters. That is why we are saying we reject it. Let it go to a mediation team from ...
