25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker. On the outset, I want to say that this Report is before the House, pursuant to Standing Order No.225 (2) (b) and Standing Order No. 227 and Article 251(a) (b) and (d).

So, I want to ask my good friends, the lady Members of Parliament; that if you are a lady, there is no exemption in the Constitution as far as Article 251 is concerned. If you abuse the Constitution, a Report will be passed in this House, a ...

Hon. Speaker, in the era of technology, I do not know whether I am being recorded maybe for the Petitioner to hear what I am saying. However, hon.

Secondly, the element of part time or full time commissions was also decided to the best knowledge of the last Parliament. That is why we made the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) part time. That is why we allowed some commissions to perform on full time basis. That is why we gave some commissions Executive authority based on their functions including the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). That is why we gave some commissions timelines like the Transition Authority (TA) and the National Land Commission (NLC). The Chair has been given a non-renewable statutory period of six years.

So, I really want to support this Report but Madam Lichuma this is serious. You are among the first chairs of Commissions to have received a Petition. Where there is smoke, there is fire. So, let us even give that Petitioner some benefit of the doubt, that he did not meet the threshhold of evidence. So, Lichuma, you better put your house in order. You better lead from the front. You have a serious constitutional agenda on the two-thirds gender rule. You have got a hot potato in your hand. If she does not solve it, she better tell us ...

24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this animal called NSSF Tassia II--- I remember that the Public Investments Committee (PIC) tabled a Report on the same last year, and now we have the same animal coming back through a different committee. Through you, I would like to urge all chairpersons of committees that when we get to Mombasa we discuss and agree that two committees should not investigate the same matter. The PIC tabled it here but it has not been debated, and now we have the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare dealing with the same National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Tassia II ...
