• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the effect of dissolution of Parliament as contemplated in Article 261(7) could be to prematurely cut short the term of Parliament thereby precipitating a general election. I read some lawyers including the president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) saying, by taking the legislature back to election, it is not a by- election, it is a general election. A general election is when the House closes full swing. If we go to a general election, the only general election contemplated in the Constitution is in Article 101(1). It says every second Tuesday of August, every fifth year ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: which is in violation of that gender principle. The other head of the Executive, the President, is in violation of the same principle. We have three arms of Government; the Legislature, Judiciary and Executive. That is why the Chief Justice should have considered whether the Constitution envisages another form of election other than the general election held on the second Tuesday of August every five years, as envisaged under Article 101 of the Constitution view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have been elected to this august House three times. The people who elect me most, my loyal supporters, are women. Every weekend, I go to Garissa and the women of Garissa Township do not know anything about this two-third gender principle. They do not know. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I must be heard as the Member for Garissa Township. Even this weekend, I will go. If you listened to the vernacular media stations last night, women in my constituency asked me why is Parliament… The Member for Kisumu must know that I am a ranking Member and I am the Member for Garissa Township. I am no longer a leader. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, progressively, and you said it on television that from the 10th Parliament to the 12th Parliament, the number of women leaders has been increasing. Hon. Millie Odhiambo is a classic example. She has won elections twice. Hon. Sophia Noor is here, from the most conservative constituency, together with Hon. (Dr.) Naomi Shaban. We cannot create a Constitution that gives free seats to one gender. We cannot. Unless we agree, as a country, to change our electoral system and go on party list. If we go on the party list, the Rwanda way, then we can talk about it. ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The other thing that I want to raise which is very important, as I conclude is that we need unity of purpose as the Legislature. What the Chief Justice has done to the President was described very well by an economist by the name Mr. David Ndii, one of the many people who were tweeting last night. He said, “Justice Maraga has given the President a grenade when he has removed the pin”. That is what Mr. David Ndii tweeted. This morning when I said my 5.30 a.m. prayers, I decided to watch television. I listened to - I do ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: 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
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Was he researching? Where I come from, Grand Mullah is an authority. The word “mullah” is in the Islamic jurisprudence. When there is a contention you go to that man. So, those of us who are Members of Parliament from the Muslim areas were waiting for the Grand Mullah and he has put it very well. I think Hon. Otiende Amollo does not want to offend the Judiciary because he is a customer. I am not a customer. I do not do business there. When your job is at stake, you must stand up. Our job is at stake. Somebody ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have listened to the latter part of the answer by the Chair. I have a question for him. There is a lot of focus on wild animals in this country. Him being the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, what happens when there is fire that destroys pasture in the range lands in the semi-arid pastoralists’ areas? The Government should also be concerned when fire breaks out in the pastoralist areas. It should not be concerned only when it happens in parks. As much as we protect the parks and ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: the Chairman of the Committee. I am sure his Vice-Chair, Hon. Sophia, is also a pastoralist. Find out the way locusts have attacked that area. I hope in future we will also protect pasture and the environment in pastoralists’ areas from either premeditated or wild fires. view
