30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I did not want to go on recess without picking a bone with hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona. I am so happy that she has raised a totally different matter. I want to go home when I am a very good friend of hon. Millie Odhiambo-Mabona and many other hon. Members. That is why today, I am urging each and every one of us, please, we want to build cohesion and unity. We need to respect our leaders. We need to go to each other’s constituencies regardless of the political affiliation. We need to support and ask our colleagues ...

30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
I am not digressing. In an Adjournment Motion, you can discuss as many issues as you can. Before both of us joined the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), he was my lawyer. He used to have a very nice office along State House Road. He used to represent the poor people of this country. I wish a serious election could take place in our party. The “Men in Black” will be nowhere to be seen. We pray to God that they do not appear on the day of the elections. We pray to God and I ask hon. Dennis Waweru, Member ...

29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, with your indulgence, Order No.8 regards the Mediation Committee on the County Governments (Amendment) Bill; we need to undertake further serious consultation before this Report is debated. That is because after consulting with my colleagues, there are a number of issues in this Report that we need to discuss. We do not want this to be the first Mediation Report to die on the Floor of the National Assembly. I would ask that we withdraw this Order because the Chair of the relevant Committee is not around. You can use your powers to re-arrange the Orders, so that ...

29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I have been informed that both Chairs of Regional Integration and Transport, Public Works and Housing committees worked up to as late as 8.00 p.m. last night. I want to go on the HANSARD that, despite the Order Paper being in the website--- I mean, it is not my business to call every one of the 349 Members to tell them what is coming to the House, I offered leadership. I called the Chair of Transport, Public Works and Housing Committee and Chair of the Committee on Regional Integration. My able Chair of the Committee on Education, Research ...

29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Report was prepared based on Article 65(b) of the East Africa Community Treaty, which states that the Clerk of the Assembly shall, as soon as practicable, transmit to the Clerks of the National Assemblies, not Parliament or the Senate - it talks about National Assemblies - copies of the Bills introduced into the Assembly and Acts of the Community to be laid before the National Assemblies for information. On the outset, we need to have communication and guidance on this. The National Assemblies of Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi and Kenya will look at ...

29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
African Community Integration (Education) Bill, 2014 and the the East African Cooperative Societies Bill, 2014, in one way or another contradict our existing laws. This House should not be a conveyor belt of the EALA, on which we have Members and our President is the Chair of the EAC. When a Bill from EAC comes to a committee of this House, in my opinion, the first thing is that the committee should see whether that Bill, as passed by that Assembly contradicts, or is inconsistent, with our law. I am sure that the same thing we are doing today is ...

29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, hon. Speaker. You have heard what the great Member for Homa Bay County has said. Committees of Parliament are Committees of Parliament. They do not belong to Jubilee neither CORD. The moment a Committee is constituted under the Standing Orders, it is the Committee of Parliament. So, I have no obligation and that is why I am here to answer all my questions. If the Chair and the Vice-Chair are busy dealing with COTU and PUSETU, I think from where I sit, I am a friend of Atwoli. I wish I was the Chair, Atwoli ...
