• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Every time he says the Government will not postpone exams. But he is not bothered about how the Standard Eight pupils and Form Four students are going to prepare for those exams. Teachers are paid. The Teachers Service Commission is paying teachers. The country needs to be told in black and white how the children of Kenya can access education under Article 53(1) of the Constitution, particularly children in public primary and secondary schools. How can they access education under this pandemic? That is the fundamental question Prof. Magoha and his team must answer. Do not tell us about radios. ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my point of order is serious. I rise to seek your guidance on whether the mediated versions of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017) and the County Governments (Amendment) (No.2) Bill (Senate Bill No.7 of 2017) are properly before the House. That is a pertinent question that needs to be answered before this House proceeds to approve the mediated versions of the two Senate Bills. From the outset, allow me to note that although Standing Order No.87(5) prohibits us from criticizing or calling to question proceedings in the Senate, the same Standing Order ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what is going on at the back? view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, our Standing Orders allow any Member of this House, including me, to debate on the structure and role of the Senate. In this regard, allow me to refer to Article 123 of the Constitution, which is clear on the manner of voting in the Senate. Simply put, Article 123 of the Constitution provides that voting on a matter before the House is done by an elected Senator or nominated Senator of a respective county having been delegated to vote on behalf of a delegation. However, as you are aware, the Senate is said to have recently adopted ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: What is it, Leader of the Majority Party? This is your issue and we are trying to get views from other Members also. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what is in question is Article 123 of the Constitution. Even if we pass this Bill, it is supposed to go to the President for assent. But the Senate has passed it unprocedurally. That is the point I am raising. If we pass the Bill, the way some people are saying, somebody may challenge it in court. What will the President assent to? He will assent to a Bill over which in one House Article 123 of the Constitution was violated. It was an illegality. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for that guidance. We are not here to violate the Constitution. Article 123 must be upheld and I have no other interest. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) a global health pandemic and that the pandemic has led to an unprecedented global health crisis; Cognizant that the Government, non-governmental institutions, well-wishers and health authorities globally have joined hands and put in place a number of measures to contain the pandemic, mainly through travel and behavioural restrictions, provisions ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: (b) to commend and appreciate all healthcare workers and service providers in the country for their selfless efforts, commitment to service, care and compassion towards persons who have been infected and/or affected by the virus. (c) to urgently put in place modalities of facilitating the continuity of the business of the House remotely using modern technology whilst upholding the constitutional requirements on public access and participation, quorum, and voting in Parliament; and, (d) that, to supplement the COVID-19 Fund and other measures put in place, the Budget and Appropriations Committee reviews the proposed Annual Estimates for the FY 2020/2021 with ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: I am told the Report that was tabled last week by the Chair of the Committee on Health was disowned yesterday by the Principal Secretary for Health. The Kshs4 million on tea was an error. I hope the Chair will have an opportunity to tell us what has happened. However, there are two things we must make clear, namely, Kenyans must follow the health protocols and guidelines given to them and matters curfew. They must follow the rules on cessation. I want to make it here clear that the only person and organ that can declare cessation of movement is ... view
