• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On the issue of Kshs1 billion being taken over by lawyers, that is not within the domain of the Government and it is not in the response from the Attorney-General but it is a matter that this House has powers to investigate. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On the clarification the Member for Kipipiri sought, I am happy to hear that he is a son of a Mau Mau fighter. I am also the grandson of an Independence fighter and Shifta War. So, everybody in this House has a history to tell. Many people can still file the case as per the Attorney-General’s statement. view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to say that this House has powers. The matter is very clear. The Kenya Government is not part of the suit but there is a Departmental Committee on view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order 44 (2)(a), on behalf of the House Business Committee, I rise to give the Statement regarding the business appearing before the House next week. On Tuesday next, 16th July, 2013, the House will consider the following ordinary Motions proposed by hon. Members:- (i) Motion by hon. James Gakuya, MP, urging the Government to among other measures devise friendly waste disposal that will also include putting up recycling plants within the dam sites that will ensure garbage collection and disposal from the point of generation. (ii) Motion by hon. Francis Kigo Njenga, MP, urging ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, I agree with you that there are a number of Bills that have an issue with the publication period. The Constitution, however, in Article 261(1) states that Fifth Schedule gives the timeline for enactment. So, Members of Parliament can look at page 189 of the Constitution and see which Bills are within the three year period and which ones are within the four or five or six years period. For those that fall within the three year period and which have been cited here, as the hon. Speaker said, we need to consult with the relevant Committees. Hon. Speaker, ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to the matter. I want to thank hon. Junet for bringing this very important matter to the Floor of the House. The only development that is known to the people of Kenya, in terms of hospitals, roads and schools, has happened with the good work of the CDF and its good management. We need to be very careful with the Kshs210 billion that we have appropriated to the county governments. It can even be seen from the budgets of some of the county governments that they are not ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for the first time, I want to thank hon. Junet. Today he has brought to the Floor of this House a very substantive issue of national importance. I want to take my colleagues through the Constitution. Devolution and access to service is captured under Article 6 of the Constitution. The National Government, the county governments, the National Assembly, the CDF and all other public entities are working for the people of Kenya. The governors should not assume that the counties belong to them. They want to treat the counties as if they are mini-presidents. Even the Budget that ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I think a month ago, you made a ruling on this matter. You made a very clear communication from the Chair, and I expect hon. Members, including the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party, to read that very clear communication on how a presidential system is to be run. Of course, you will see once in a while that people will raise matters touching on the counties, as hon. Midiwo said. A committee will be subjected to an issue which should have been handled better by the County Assembly of Garissa or Siaya. But fundamentally, ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: We do not want to use this. If we consult under the leadership conference, which we are going for this weekend, both coalitions can agree and take it to the Kenyan people through a referendum, but it would be very costly. It has only been three months; let us remain with the presidential system; let us learn the ropes; let us allow the Jubilee Government to work; let our brothers and sisters oversee and make sure that this baby called “presidential system of government” works. It has worked in Indonesia, the United States of America (USA) and in many other ... view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. We were discussing a very important matter of national importance just before my good friend raised a burning issue on the IDPs. I think I agree that the 11th Parliament, being under a new dispensation and, maybe, this will help you following your communication, it is important to make a further communication. One, now it is confirmed that the 20 per cent problem that hon. William Ruto was talking about the Constitution is haunting us now. He said let us do it and some of us said we will do it later. ... view
