• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The matter the hon. Member has raised will take me time to answer. He has cited Article 232(1)(h) on the representation of Kenya’s diverse communities, which I am ready and able to reply to. He has also cited Article 241(4) that talks about the composition of the command of the Kenya Defence Forces and whether it reflects the regional and ethnic diversity of the people of Kenya. Finally, the hon. Member has talked about Article 246(4) that again talks about the composition of the National Police Service, and whether its composition reflects the regional and ethinic ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with my colleague the Deputy Minority Leader that for over one year, we were trying to look at the Constitution and interpret Articles 95 and 96. The matter before the House today as far as the people of Isiolo County are concerned is the wrangle in the assembly of Isiolo and in the performance of the county government. I do not think, through the Speaker’s guidance, that that function lies with this House. I am sure our brothers within the precincts of Parliament have now a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: serious petition to deal with. I am sure that when we meet them at the bar in the evening and at the lounge, we will tell them that there is a serious matter in Isiolo County. This is a county that has two Senators. It has a Senator who has been elected by the people and a delegate who has been appointed by the parties through the gender rule. So, unlike my county, this is a county which has two Senators. My good friend, the Member for Isiolo County, and I want to agree with here, because I am also ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very, hon. Speaker for your direction. I want to make it very clear that I am forced to withdraw the amendments on the Kenya Defence Forces and the National Intelligence Service, despite my office receiving several views from various stakeholders on the constitutionality of those said amendments. But I gave that chance to the relevant Committee, the Departmental Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations to re-look at it and provide the House with a report; after meeting the said stakeholders and the owners of those amendments. Hon. Speaker, in a period of two weeks, neither the Chair nor ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: confirm to the House that both the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson are attending the USA/Africa Summit which is taking place in Washington and that has forced me to seek your direction because I realize that the Vice-Chairperson, in my opinion, felt that the USA/Africa Conference going on in Washington is going to be bigger and more important than the matter before the House. Secondly, with regard to the said amendments, after discussing with key stakeholders including CIC, it was felt that those are not minor amendments. Indeed, they are substantive amendments. This august House is there for both minor and major ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was rushing from my Office and I was praying that hon. Engineer Chege will continue contributing and give me time to reach here. Having said that, I want to thank Members for ably contributing to this piece of legislation - the so-called omnibus Bill. It is a tradition of the House that every year, the Government brings an omnibus law for minor amendments. The amendments that cannot fit in a substantive amendment to the principle Act can be introduced through this Statute Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill. Of course, either due to the position of ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: the country. We do not want to create a situation where individuals usurp the powers of the Constitution. The other thing that we withdrew, and the Speaker concurred with my Office, were the amendments to the National Intelligence Service and the amendments to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, which, as I earlier said, were not in tandem with what the Commission is preaching. The Commission is talking about reducing the wage bill. Again, the Commission that wants to transform itself from a part time Commission to a full time Commission. Madam Sarah Serem cannot purport to deal with the menace ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the mother Committee which has the highest number of amendments on the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, is the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. That is the mother of all committees. But I am sure, according to the Director of Committees, most of the other committees have submitted their amendments. They have gone through the amendments and they are ready. We expect the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs or his representative; be it hon. Ochieng’ to be ready and that they will table them either tomorrow or on Tuesday, ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is no rule that forces all committees to bring it to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. But we have advised informally that they bring their reports so that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs brings a joint report of all those Committees; except for the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, which in my opinion is in the USA attending the famous USA/Africa Summit. With the Communication from the Speaker, the train has left. Therefore, they will wait for the next omnibus law which might come next year. ... view
