3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am even told every Senator is a chair or vice-chair of a committee. They have over 20 committees. You can imagine 67 Senators, each one of them is a chair or vice-chair. We need to ask ourselves what the relevance of the Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations in the Senate is. What is the relevance of the Committee on National Security? Tell me the aspect of national security that has been devolved to counties. Tell me why the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs appears before the Senate. Why should the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and ...

Government appear before the Senate? I thank Hon. Matiang’i who sent an advisory seeking opinion from the Attorney General but he has not replied until today. Why should the Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum go to the Senate to discuss the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC)? If you read the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, you will see that KPC is under the national Government. So, why should the Chair of the Committee on Energy invite Hon. Munyes? I think this House’s Departmental Committee on Energy must call the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum and ask ...

3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly:
Constitution, I want Kenyans to know that it would have stood against their interests as envisaged in our various laws. Kenyans should know that the Senate will have sought to destroy that which Kenyans regard as being for the economic development of the country. For this reason, allow me to say that if only the Senate can stick to its mandate according to Article 96 of the Constitution, it can be of great help to our counties. They have so much in their plate that they do not need to move around and become “squatters” on legislative functions of the ...

3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly:
If you want to regulate camel meat, you do it in the county assemblies of Garissa, Wajir and Samburu. You do not bring it to the Senate. You will find issues that should be dealt with by the county assemblies being brought to the Senate and then to this House. Finally, the Division of Revenue Bill - my colleagues who are experts on budgeting will talk about it - is an exclusive Bill of this House. The Supreme Court erred in its opinion on the Division of Revenue Bill. It was populist. If you read the dissenting opinion of Judge ...

3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly:
innocent Kenyans were demolished without compensation having been paid. As this House approves the next lot of men and women who will sit in the National Land Commission (NLC), the nominees must declare their assets and liabilities to mitigate against the trend of people becoming overnight billionaires once they are appointed to sit in the National Land Commission. We cannot fight corruption by creating corruption. I thank my colleagues, Hon. Senators Githiomi, Mutula Kilonzo Jnr, Margaret Kamar, Prof. Oundo, our competent Lands Committee Chair, Hon. Nyamai and Hon. Caleb Kositany. He is a Member of the Jubilee National Executive Committee ...

3 Jul 2019 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, he was in my Committee. Because he is rarely here, I was trying to give him his other duties. I will withdraw that from the HANSARD. He has other duties which he is not performing to our satisfaction. So, this law seeks to deal with the old issues.
