• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) chaired by hon. Baiya will take advantage of this recess to engage the Attorney-General, the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), the Law Reform Commission and other stakeholders to ensure that the remaining Bills that have constitutional deadlines are published before we resume. At this juncture, I want to thank the hon. Millie Odhiambo, my very good historical friend for saving the Executive and bringing, at least, one Bill that this House has passed and we want other Members to take that route of hon. Millie Odhiambo. She is not ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, three of those constitutional Bills have already gone through the First Reading and have been referred to the relevant Departmental Committees should be given priority so that we can commence the Second Reading after the recess. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague, the Leader of the Minority Party, his Deputy, all the leadership of this House, all chairs of committees and, indeed, all Members of Parliament for approaching various matters in this House in a bipartisan manner. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, contrary to the misconception that is sometimes created in the media that we are enemies, I want to confirm that we are not. Members know that we are colleagues with a common interest of making Kenya a better nation. We only differ sometimes on the approach of solving issues of interest to our people and that is 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
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: democracy. For example, two weeks ago, we demonstrated our bipartisan nature when we marshaled the two-third majority numbers from different political divides to pass the Motion on the extension of time for the constitutional Bills and the amendment to the County Allocation Bill 2014. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank and congratulate Members for their increased attention and keen interest in our process of law making. Never before in this House have we had keen scrutiny of Bills and amendments especially in the Committee of the Whole House that we had in the last 16 weeks. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for a long time, the process in the Committee of the Whole House was left only to the Mover of the Bill, the Chair of the relevant committee and a handful of Members. The experience of the Statute Law Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill that we passed last week, the Victims Protection Bill that we passed yesterday and, indeed, the fresh experience of the Finance Bill that we have passed this afternoon are only a few moments ago shows the attention or the keen interest that Members have for business appearing in the Order Paper. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have no doubt that moving forward, we will pass even better laws that have gone through careful scrutiny. I thank Members of both sides of the House for their un-relenting efforts to ensure that this happens. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, looking forward, I am aware that the office of the Clerk has organised a workshop targeting the leadership of this Parliament and, more so, the National Assembly, including the chairpersons of committees, scheduled for mid- September 2014. The retreat will present an opportunity for the leadership of the House under your leadership to put their heads together and reflect on past experiences and chart the way forward for many matters aimed at improving the welfare of our Members and the running of the National Assembly. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, lastly, it is my hope that the recess will also give us an opportunity to reflect particularly on problems that are ailing our good nation, for example, insecurity. We ought to reflect and rethink on the question of the proposed referendum especially on the roadmap and the missing legal gaps on how to amend the Constitution, irrespective of whether it is by a popular initiative or parliamentary initiative. I am one of those people who strongly feel that there is a need for a national legislation that will address this lacuna even before we start any referendum. view
