• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for hon. John Mbadi, but my good friend should be very strategic. Of course, I am entitled to my opinion. The issue hon. Mbadi has raised, on the separation of powers of the three arms of Government, is very clear. You remember, I am the one who tabled the budget of the Judicial Service Commission. If you look at the mandate of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee of this Parliament and of the last Parliament, one of the key institutions they oversee is the Judiciary. We must draw a line ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on a light touch, I do not know whether my good friend, hon. Nyokabi from her history of civil society, is running away from this volatile bombshell. After the office of the Clerk and your office have looked at it and if, in the unlikely event no committee is given that task, I am ready to answer that question. However, I am sure that within the many committees that we have, that matter is very urgent and it touches on some very serious people which I am sure the Member did not raise. I am sure hon. Nyokabi ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Member for Mwingi has made some very serious allegations. Since the committee has summoned the IGP and other security agents, all these hon. Members should appear before the committee, so that they can even share information with the IGP and the other officers as to where the gun market is, who is selling the guns and which community is involved. Hon. Munuve said that he wants to go with the DC. When you have the IGP, a DC is a small man. You can go with the DC another day; even on Sunday. Please, appear before the ... view

• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(1)(2), on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) I rise to give the following Statement regarding the business appearing before the House next week. The HBC met on Tuesday at the rise of the House to prioritize the business of the House. The HBC suggested that upon resumption from the September recess the House will give priority to the media Bills whose extension was granted by the House. The two media Bills namely the Kenya Information and Communication (Amendment) Bill, 2013 and the Media Council Bill, 2013 have now been read a First ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Police Service (Amendment) Bill, 2013 for the Second Reading. Following a request by hon. Members, we will be seeking your guidance, hon. Speaker on the question of the constitutionality of these two Bills before the commencement of the Second Reading. Hon. Members, other Bills before the House that have matured for First Reading include: The National Social Security Bill, 2013 and the Law Society of Kenya Bill, 2013. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has requested to be given some more time to conclude their Report on the two marriage Bills before the Second Reading. Hon. Speaker, other ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as you directed, the Committee on Selection is sitting now and we will table the list covering the issue raised by hon. Millie Odhiambo on Tuesday next week. So, as I am here, the Committee is sitting to ratify. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hope that hon. Wanyonyi can now hear me. view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee Chairman has done very well. On the outset, let me point out the fact that the Finance Bill comes to this House on an annual basis, some 90 days after the passage of the Appropriations Bill by this House. This Bill is of national significance. Again, as you can see, we are just a handful of us. Whichever way it goes, this Bill will affect the lives of our people positively and negatively. So, I hope that hon. Members will take it very seriously. What does the Finance Bill do? It deals ... view
• 19 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On the Customs and Excise Act, the amendments in this Bill seek to introduce a requirement for the Commissioner of Customs to give reasons where he denies an investor the licence of intent to manufacture excise goods. This is where an investor or a company wants to use the licence of another entity. This, perhaps, was not in the previous law. For this one, the Commissioner must give a reason. This Finance Bill also enhances cross-border trade. It touches on the withholding of tax. It creates a situation where both the game and betting tax, or where the winners in ... view
