• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Under the Public Finance Chapter, the creation of the Auditor-General’s office is well expounded. If these governors or any Kenyan is summoned by a Committee of Parliament, he decides to go to court, that Kenyan will get an order not to appear before the Committee of the House. Article 125 on the power to call for evidence says:- view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: “(1) Either House of Parliament, and any of its committees, has power to summon any person to appear before it for the purpose of giving evidence or providing information.” Why did Amos Kimunya appear before the PIC the other day? Why should Cabinet Secretaries appear before House Committees? Cabinet Ministers will say that they will not appear before Hon. Mutava Musymi for the Budget’s scrutiny. The Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury can say that he will not table the Budget Policy document by 15th February and instead of bringing the documents here he will walk to court, get an ... view

• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: “(2) For the purposes of clause (1), a House of Parliament and any of its committees has the same powers as the High Court.” Hon. Speaker, it is very ridiculous. It is a contradiction. If a Committee of this House or the Senate has the same powers of the High Court and a High Court is now giving orders to disregard the summons of that Committee, I do not know where we are heading to. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I do not know where the Judiciary is heading in this country to. This is a matter of national debate. This country needs a national debate conference on how the three arms of the Government can work together. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is a very serious matter. This Article is giving a Committee of Parliament the same powers but the same High Court is saying “No”. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: To some of us who were marginalized for 50 years in successive governments--- Our people have no water, roads and health facilities. In all the worst indicators in any report, we are number last. We chose the route of devolution because we wanted to manage ourselves. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we have governors, and I am sure that my colleagues will agree with me. We have governors who fly choppers 24/7. We have governors in northern Kenya who have rented offices for Kshs1.5 million a month. Which building is in Wajir, Mandera or Garissa that can give you rent of Kshs2.5 million? It is ridiculous. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: When the Auditor-General, an independent office that this House respects gives his first four months score card--- Summons of a House under Article 96 of the Constitution gives powers to the Senate to oversee county and county governments. If you are saying that the Senate cannot summon governors, then it should just pack and go and we should not have it. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As per this Constitution, if the Senate cannot oversee, summon governors and ask them questions on the Auditor’s reports and the Director of Budget’s queries, we do not need to have the Senate. We should not have the Senate Committee on Finance. The High Court which gave the summons can as well turn into a Finance Committee of the Senate and hon. Judge Mumbi Ngugi should become the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. view
