• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The CORD leadership under the – I want them to listen to me because this is very important--- If you read that, you will find that the functions are to investigate, inquire into and report on all matters relating to the mandate, management activities, administration and operational estimates of the assigned Ministries and departments. There is nowhere investment portfolio is mentioned. If our colleagues read the Standing Orders very clearly, they will find that a lot of issues of overlapping will be solved. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me speak for the Government for once or at least today. You will see a Departmental Committee sending a letter with issues to a Cabinet Secretary. You will also find another Committee sending a similar letter and the only difference is maybe the title of that Committee. The same questions or issues could, maybe, be coming from the PIC and another Departmental Committee. That in itself should not be a good image that should come from Parliament. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, part of your communication, because I think we have an opportunity, you must rein in on Chairs who are yet to understand their role as the leadership of Committees of Parliament and the Executive. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You will find Chairs who have offices in the Executive. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You will see a Chair carrying a speech to go and read on behalf of a Minister. That Chair or that Vice-Chair should know the constitutional borderline between the Executive, Parliament and the Judiciary. We need to make serious communication that touches on what hon. Jamleck said. However, we also need to do a cleanup and I want to assure hon. Kamama that if I am asked to substantiate, I will. I am saying what is there. So, let us allow the Speaker to give us a conclusive ruling. view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I want to make this very clear because I had the benefit to serve in the last Parliament, the only thing that is binding on the Government is a resolution of the House. You will find a Chair going to the Clerk and telling him to write a letter to the Executive to stop payment or to stop a project. That is not in order. Anything that will bind on the Executive is when a resolution--- Do an investigation, do a report, bring it to the House and if the House agrees with you, with your recommendation, that will bind ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am saying that what hon. Jamleck Kamau raised will also give us time to clean and give direction to Parliament. When this Member told the Clerk to do a letter, the Clerk explained; that person came to my office, I explained and he said the Clerk will be summoned by his Committee. This is not in order. I want you to use this Communication to rein in on people who want to use the backdoor to intimidate Government officials. We must protect the image of Parliament. We need to do a serious induction for the leadership, so ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: the Public Investments Committee, the Public Accounts Committee and the various Departmental Committees. Then we can know, for example, if a matter is under investigation by the Transport Committee, that another Committee must get the concurrence from the Chair to investigate it. How do you call today a whole team of Cabinet Secretaries and their colleagues and you ask them the same questions, and tomorrow, they appear before another Committee answering the same questions? These are the questions that the Executive has been asking me. Now that there is an opportunity, those of us who have offices in the Executive, ... view
• 18 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I heard my able Chair talking of the way Committees are micromanaging parastatals because of personal interests. I want the Chair to confirm if he wants me to micromanage Chairs. As leaders, we have given Chairs the responsibility to run their mandates. I want him to go further and say the micromanaging of parastatals is not for personal interests. It is for personal financial interest. That should come out very clearly. view
