• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: It is very unfortunate that this House has sat and watched helplessly as the Senate wallows into oblivion of un-constitutionalism. Why do I say so? How can the Senate purport to represent counties and protect devolution when it focuses on passing legislation that seeks to promote the interest of county governments? How can the Senate purport to say that? That it seeks, affirms, protects and defends the Constitution when it is constantly offending the provisions of Articles 96, 109 and 110 of the Constitution. Article 96 is very clear. We want to tell the Senate and the people of Kenya ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: One time it died in the Senate and we revived it and took it to mediation. So, it is a Bill that has been on the corridors of parliament for a long time. Pursuant to the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Constitution and Standing Order No. 142, it is here today. We considered the amendments forwarded by the National Assembly and rejected some of the amendments by the Senate on 14th March, 2019. That led to the mediation process. After long negotiations - the Member for Mwea Constituency was part of the Committee - we agreed on a version ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Article 96 says that the Senate represents counties and serves to protect the interests of the counties and their governments. It is clear. It is in black and white both in spirit and the letter of the Constitution. Article 109 says, for record purposes, that Parliament shall exercise its legislative power through Bills passed by Parliament and assented to by the President. Article 109(2) says that any Bill may originate in the National Assembly. This House has a blanket cheque. Any Bill under the sun can originate in the National Assembly. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Article 109(3) says that a Bill not concerning county government is considered only in the National Assembly, and passed in accordance with Article 122 and the Standing Orders of the Assembly. Any Bill that does not concern county governments can only be discussed in the National Assembly and passed in accordance with Article 122 and the Standing Orders of the National Assembly. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: the county governments, we told them they can be members there. We have said that is not their domain, just like this morning. Hon. Speaker, I beg to move and ask a Member who has a lot of interest in irrigation matters, because he represents people who do serious irrigation in Mwea, to second. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Article 109(4) says that a Bill concerning county governments may originate in the National Assembly. We have powers to originate Bills that concern county governments. A Member of this House can bring a Bill concerning Early Childhood Development (ECD). The Chairman of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET) and the Secretary General of the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) have an opportunity to bring a Bill to discuss ECD. Senators have no powers to bring a Bill on the other sections of the education sector, namely, primary, secondary and tertiary institutions. It further says that a ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Bill, before publication or before the House decides, must be sent to the relevant committee, which is the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, is Article 110, which is very critical. It says that a Bill concerning county governments means all that. So, they are violating Articles 96, 109 and 110 of the Constitution on the legislative process through origination of money Bills. I have records, which I can table if the House allows me. view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, how can the Senate purport to protect counties through ensuring adequate funding when they are at same time rejecting the procedure of checking public expenditure through Article 114 of the Constitution, the Public Finance Management Act and the Standing Order No.143 on how money Bills are supposed to be processed? How can the Senate, in full hypocrisy, have Standing Orders implementing Article 114 yet they challenge Article 114 without implementing its own rules? They have amended their Standing Orders, so that they can deal with money Bills yet Articles 114, 110 and 109 of the Constitution are very clear ... view
• 3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: How can the Senate say that the procedure of considering Senate Bills as contemplated in Standing Order 143 are meant to kill yet our Budget and Appropriations Committee has approved over 10 Bills from the Senate which had no money Bill effect? Seven of them have been passed by this House and assented to by the President. What am I about to say? It is even more shameful: How can the Senate, as an alleged defender of the Constitution, allow just two Senators to start House proceedings without observing the quorum rule? If you look at the Senate this afternoon, ... view
