1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I said earlier that there is a lot of confusion and that is a classical example of the Saba Saba confusion. Hon. Mbadi is not even reading the Statement as per the Order Paper because he is wondering whether the dialogue will take place before Saba Saba and if it does not take place, what will happen. I want to confirm to him that he should prepare for what will happen because the dialogue is very far from taking place before Saba Saba. The Statement was directed to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal ...

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Yes, hon. Speaker. I think we have a solution. There is light at the end of the tunnel. When we come back from recess, and if the House agrees to that Motion, we will have the Cabinet Secretaries coming on Wednesdays and giving the House the answers.

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
However, again, I do not why the Chair and the Vice-Chair are away. I do not know whether they are on parliamentary business but I will pass the message and make sure that they bring the answer next week on Tuesday.

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I will also liaise with the Office of the Clerk and the Director of Committees so that all pending statement requests and petitions are responded to. I think we will also raise it in the House Business Committee (HBC). We have employed more clerks and more staff. Committees must work within the timelines given on the Floor of the House. Two weeks should not be two weeks of SabaSaba ; it should be serious two weeks. I do not know why the leadership of CORD is missing. But at least, the place is being taken by a man ...

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
I want to pick up from where my colleague, hon. Neto, left off . I have a lot of respect for the Chair and the Members of the Committee on Health. But, this report should have been the Senate’s. Why do I say so? Looking at the at the recommendations, which are very true---

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I come from a county where there is a level 5 hospital, I am sure my neighbour, hon. (Dr.) Mohamed, of Dadaab, who is one of the most respected medical doctors from my county, will confirm even dispensaries and health centers in our constituency are collapsing. The level 5 and district hospitals are collapsing; devolving the health sector is not the preserve of this House. If you look at Schedule Four of the Constitution, county health bodies include the following: county health facilities and pharmacies; ambulance services and others. We are discussing a function which has been devolved. ...

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Our mistake was how fast we transferred the health services; the Constitution has given it a three-year period. Did we hurry in transferring it? The institutions that are concerned with this, the Transitional Authority, the Council of Governors, the Summit chaired by the President and the CIOC--- These are the concerned institutions. The concern that we should discuss is that we have devolved the health sector faster than it should have been. The health sector, as per the framework of the Constitution, is a devolved function. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ...

1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
So, any resolution of this House, in my opinion--- One of the reasons why I have serious issues, even out there, with those who are calling for the dialogue is respect for the Constitution. Today, I want to differ with my colleague and a chair in my coalition over Article 95 of the Constitution. When the Constitution was promulgated, I choose to be a Member of Parliament because I knew the powers bestowed upon a Member of the National Assembly.
