13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, number one, if you look at the first Section 62(1) and 62 (1A), it is more or less the same. In fact, it is like duplication. We are talking of the same executive authority. More importantly, when we use the same reason as before, it is discriminatory. Why single out State or public officers with executive authority? However, more fundamentally, the Chair did it very well and we discussed this thing even in the last Parliament. Parliament does not have the tools to do even forensic audit. Parliament recommends to other institutions like the Auditor General, ...

13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this particular amendment. It is in order for these institutions to be given a free hand to hire and fire Secretaries and even CEOs if they are not performing. This is very much in order. However, I wish to seek your indulgence in a view that you have just raised; the issue of the veto power of the President with regard to these amendments. The understanding herein is that this House cannot reject entirely the whole recommendation of the President. In other words, we cannot throw this away and retain what we had earlier ...

13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Okay, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I will contribute but in my contribution, of course, I will pick from where my Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has stopped. One, what are we dealing with here? We are dealing with the Committee of the whole House. We are also dealing with the Memorandum of the President. The President is exercising his powers under Article 115(1)(b) of the Constitution. There is nowhere the President has no powers. The President has powers in exactly what he has done here by sending back some section of the law before he ...

I am heading there. They are constitutional in nature. The President has cited Article 250(12) of the Constitution which falls under the sub-title ‘Commissions and Independent Offices”; Chapter 15 of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. What is the President saying? The President is saying you cannot do discriminatory work. That is a constitutional provision. Article 250(12) says that all Chief Executive Officers of the following commissions--- I think they are about 15 and two independent offices; that of the Auditor-General and I think the one of the Controller of Budget. They will recruit their Chief Executive Officers competitively and if ...

13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, allow me one minute. On this process we are doing now, Parliament has the obligation. The Constitution has not plucked out anything. If you want to disagree with the President, the matter is about the threshold; the numbers. So anybody who wants to disagree with the President can marshal the two-thirds majority. But from where I sit as the Leader of the Jubilee Coalition, I will not allow Parliament, particularly the Coalition that I represent, to disagree with the law that---

I beg to move:- THAT, the proposed subsection 17(4) be deleted. This is according to the proposal by His Excellency the President in his Memorandum to Parliament.
