11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, yes, this matter came up in the House Business Committee and I have scheduled a meeting with the Cabinet Secretary. I will also inform the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade to look into the issue. However, before that as we agreed, the Cabinet Secretary will be available to answer this question among the other issues that we discussed in the House Business Committee last night. He will also deal with the administrative cost of that Fund, who will be the Uwezo Fund members in the constituency, how they will operate and their expenditure. In a week’s time, ...

11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I got an answer yesterday from the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government but I was not very happy with the answer. In my opinion, bringing the answer to the House would dent my own reputation and raise questions about my quality as a Member of Parliament. So, I have returned the answer to the Cabinet Secretary. I am arranging a meeting between hon. Abass and me on one hand and the Cabinet Secretary, the Principal Secretary and the Inspector-General of Police on the other with a view to looking into the matter afresh. We ...

11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support it. I do so acknowledging the fact that, indeed, great work has gone into this Report. The recommendations in this Report are the ones that will make easier the operations of this House. We have seen the many difficulties that we have whenever Members ask Chairpersons of Committees questions. It is a problem because the Chairperson of a Committee is also an ordinary Member of this House. It is difficult for them to answer adequately the questions raised with them. Article 153(4)(b) ...

11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
Bringing to life the issue of implementing the Constitution is an important thing. I mentioned here earlier that we need to have Cabinet Secretaries presenting reports here in time. I want to throw a challenge to the Chairman of the CIOC to ensure that this Constitution is implemented. I would like to turn your attention to Article 241(3)(b) of the Constitution. It is an example of an issue that I think is a failure and yet it has not been observed as is required by the Constitution. The Article reads thus: “The Kenya Defence Forces shall assist and cooperate with ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Report and on a light touch, I do not know whether my colleague, the Leader of Minority Party read this Report. Why do I say so? It is good we make it very clear to the House, there is a callous team discussing political party matters---

Maybe they are discussing the bungled elections of ODM. They want to revive it and they are taking the wise counsel of the able lawyer, hon. Mille Odhiambo, now that they have realized that the men cannot do it, with the help of my good friend, hon. Kaluma. The lawyers must put this party that is under the able leadership of the brother of the former Prime Minister, a man I respect a lot, in the right perspective. We must make it very clear that in 2010 the Kenyan people went to a referendum, they decided to choose a presidential ...

There is another team lead by hon. Alfred Keter and hon. Nyokabi, there are so many caucuses. They may also be dealing with the impeachment Motion.

11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
I want to make it clear that in 2010 the people of Kenya went to the polls on a referendum and they said, they do not want a parliamentary system or a mixed grill. They want a pure presidential system where the Legislature, Executive, Judiciary and Parliament are independent. They said for the first time in 50 years they do not want Cabinet Secretaries in the House. We are not amending the Constitution and that is why I was wondering whether my colleague, the Leader of Minority Party has read the Report.

11 Jun 2014 in National Assembly:
We want to tell the people of Kenya that this House has no powers at all without going back to the people to amend the Constitution to bring a parliamentary or any other system. What has the committee under your able leadership done? In our first year of these House deliberations, we have realized that we might go ahead and borrow presidential systems of governance across the globe. We will look for best practices and see whether we can amend our Standing Orders and allow limited time for Cabinet The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ...
