• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: more borrowing that increases our debt level? We put all these arguments to our colleagues in the Senate, but the Senate looks more popular. For the first time, let me make it very clear that the Senate cheated the Council of Governors. They told them that they have the power to go and get them more money. The Senate has no role in the budget-making process and the Budget must balance. I am sure right now the governors must have realised they were duped. That is why the Governor of Machakos, who is not even in the category of donkeys ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: handle, instead of him replying, his beautiful wife started twitting and replying to me but I did not respond because my wife is not on twitter . She is busy taking care of my children. I told her: “Now next time, I will ask my son to reply.” The Governors were duped. They were told that they would be given money and then they went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court was an even more crazy action. If the Chief Justice can give you money, I am sure – and I have tabled his budget here – the Judiciary ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: This is the HANSARD. The Speaker of the Senate must protect the integrity of the Senate. He must sign alongside you, Hon. Speaker. We cannot have the shenanigans of the Senate in making sure that they avoid procedure. Let me call a spade a spade. Those Senators are not very intelligent. I want them to hear me today. They should have been intelligent yesterday when they were in the Mediation Committee. They should have rejected and raised an objection. Yesterday, they agreed to the commencement date of 1st July. They should have insisted on a commencement date “upon assent.” However, ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: which, in one way, I am also part of. Hon. Speaker, as Members of both Houses, we can play politics but the staff of Parliament cannot do it. They cannot side with any Member. They must be diligent to the Constitution and the principles governing them, as staff of Parliament. You must advise us. My office is one of our offices in this House that are advised by the staff of the National Assembly in the Clerk’s Office, Legal Services Directorate, Parliamentary Budget Office and Directorate of Legislative and Procedural Services. They always advise me according to their professional undertaking. ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: positions to ladies, they become terrible. There are some female governors who are now lecturing us on corruption. When they were CSs in the 10th and 11th Parliament, they were.... I have no problem with them. Hon. Speaker, allow me to contribute for one minute. When we talk about men, they do not jump. So, there is no point of order. There are female governors whose histories are known. I agree that governors must be held to account by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) must hold everybody in the national Government and county ... view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as much as I agree with the Vice-Chair, these are some of the Bills I submitted to the Liaison Committee. It is because Committee Chairs are taking too long to bring their Reports to the House. So, direct the Committee to table the Report by Wednesday or Thursday next week. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Legal Department of the House has raised some constitutional issues over this Bill. I am consulting with the Attorney- General so that we agree on the way forward and then write to you on whether we will amend it, and they agree to the amendments or we withdraw the whole Bill as it is. I ask you to step it down until next week on Tuesday. view

• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, from the outset, let me put the record straight that the documents we are tabling are signed by the former Auditor- General and they were submitted to the House before he left - when we were on recess. Even today, I will still table more. All those documents are authentic and they have been signed by the former competent Auditor-General, Mr. Ouko. Parliament, in legislating on that office, has failed, because we did not create a safeguard on what happens in case of a vacancy. From where I sit, even the Executive or whoever is in charge ... view
