12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly:
Secondly and lastly, I shared an issue with Hon. Mbadi and other Members this morning. Hon. Millie agrees with me that if there are five amendments here in a clause, the Chairperson always says that if the amendment of a certain Member passes, the rest of the other amendments fall. I have never seen a House where every amendment under the sun must be voted for. I agree with Hon. Makali Mulu. We need to send some technical expertise from our Clerk’s office to go to the Senate. I agree with the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee that ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this was a Petition.

12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first, I want to bring to the attention of the House - I want Members to listen because I read this Report. I want Members to know that what is before us was a Petition. We must start with what the prayers of the petitioners were. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to highlight the prayers of the petitioners. The first one was: Is it possible? I am trying to put the petitioners’ prayers in line with Article 119 of the Constitution that allows Parliament to receive petitions but to act within its authority. The petitions ...

12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly:
Prayer No.2 was: Is it within the authority of this House to expedite the issuance of titles, leases for the approval of letters of allotment issued to members of Louisa Community Development Society? In my opinion, as a House, the answer is no. The third prayer was: Is it possible for this House to preserve title deeds issued for public purpose? The answer, in line with Article 119 of the Constitution, is no. This House does not have those powers. The fourth prayer was: Is it within the authority of this House to order compensation for the demolition on the ...

They are known. They have not told us yet records are there. Who deported the sons of Mr. Samuels? When Mr. Samuels, the white man, died, his two sons were deported. There must be a deportation order attached to this Report. Which Minister of State for Internal Security then signed it? We must be told why they were deported or the reasons behind it. Which plane carried them? If you look at all these, the whole thing is a spider web.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, protect me from the Member for Kikuyu Constituency. In fact, he should go and deal with the conflict between Kajiado and his constituency. He should not be here. He is my good friend.

12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly:
The right audience should have been the court and not the House. We should not be seen to be encroaching on the jurisdiction of the courts and we should not be seen as conferring on ourselves authority or powers the Constitution did not confer on us. Let us not behave like the Senate last night where the Speaker of the Senate, who has no powers, violated the calendar of his own House and said the House had adjourned. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, give me a few more minutes. What is also rather very obvious from this Report is that the ...

No, give me two minutes. Why do I say so? I have a lot of respect for Hon. Rachael Nyamai. She is one of the Chairs I respect. From the Report of the Committee, the owner of the land in question died. His two sons were deported, the lease under which he owned the land was allowed to expire and, upon expiry, a reversal to the County Government of Nairobi was done. The land was cleverly, cleverly allocated to the workers who used to work in the farm. Nothing can be as clear as that. This is pure fraud. My ...

They should tell us who was deported. Otherwise, I oppose. This House must live within its mandate.
