That pursuant to Standing Order 30(3)(a), this House resolves to extend its sitting today until conclusion of business appearing as Order Nos. 9 and 10. Hon. Speaker, we sit once a week.

22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, first, I want to thank the Committee and Members who contributed to this very important Tax Laws (Amendmen) Bill. This Bill deals with two main factors and the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and the Committee had to balance between cushioning Kenyans, as Hon. Kaluma said, from job losses, staying at home and at the same time protecting the economy. Every country must protect its people and that is why you see there is also a reduction of the Corporate Tax for companies not to go under. Therefore, the basic things that affect the people of Kenya, which ...

22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, this afternoon, I am in a very precarious position. Ordinarily, as the Leader of the Majority Party, I would never oppose a Report of a Parliamentary Committee. However, I oppose the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education and Research on the vetting of the nominees. I want the House to listen to me because I am going to cite constitutional and statutory provisions as my reasons for opposing this Report.

22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, indeed, the procedure for appointment of members of the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is outlined in the Constitution, the Teachers Service Commission Act No.20 of 2012, and the Public Appointment (Parliamentary Approval) Act No.33 of 2011, in whose enactment processes both Hon. Mbadi and I participated. This Committee was supposed to determine the suitability of these two nominees on the basis of the Constitution and these two statutes. The Committee had no business fishing for anything else outside the law. I will prove that a selection panel was set up, the President was given nine names ...

22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
Let me go to what they said about Leila and finish with Ng’ang’a, and I am sure the House will be convinced. Leila Ali was approved by this House. She is a Member of the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK) at the moment. She was vetted by the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, chaired then by the current Ambassador in Namibia, Hon. Benjamin Langat. So, how can the same House today say that a person they had vetted is not qualified? She presented the same papers. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ...

22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly:
This House vetted Leila Ali. She presented her papers and they said that she was qualified. Today, you are telling me that she is not qualified. You are imputing bad motive on the House. The President has balanced the nominees. Leila Ali is 44 years old and Mr. Mbage is 60 something. So, he has nominated a youth. Leila Ali was told to present her documents. If you read the Report, she presented all her documents when she was asked. Section 7 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act is clear in terms of dual citizenship. I agree Leila Ali ...
