20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Based on what has happened, I can see that the other ladies, including Hon. Millie and Hon. Rachael, are very jealous. From now, I will have a timetable. I will be observing each lady from the time she enters the House because they are jealous of Hon. Esther Passaris. Please, if you want me to observe you when you enter the House, make sure that you register your name in my office and you carry a bag. Hon. Sonko, the Governor of Nairobi County, cannot defend himself here. So, we should not drag his name into this matter. There is ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
As you are aware, the House passed this Bill and the Senate proposed amendments on several clauses, which were rejected in the House hence the mediation process. I am very happy to report that with the input of the mediation team from the National Assembly - my colleague the Leader of the Minority Party the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands, Hon. Nyamai, Hon. Kositany, Hon. Mishi Mboko and our usual expert on land matters, Hon. Ounda - we went through very difficult days. It is one of the mediations I will always remember. It was a very difficult ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
Allow me to highlight the key clauses that were subject of mediation and the recommendations of the Committee in respect of the amendments. We began the mediation process and we realised that the items for consideration by the Committee were three. What is the appropriate title for the Bill? What is the appropriate term to be used instead of “Planning Authorities”? What is the place of consultative fora for physical planning at the county level? Those are the three questions that were subject of the mediation team. The most difficult question was the title of the Bill. We were told ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
We need to amend the Constitution on some things. We cannot have a House of 349 Members and another one of 67 Members, but when it comes to the constitution of a mediation committee both have an equal number of Members. It makes voting become a problem because of the equal number of Members from both Houses. Even electing the Chair was a problem because we had five Members from each House. Our five voted for a Member from our side and the other five voted for a Member from their side to be the Chair. So, electing the Chair ...

20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly:
The middle ground we settled on was that we called the Bill, “The Physical and Land Use Planning” in order to take into account the few aspects of land use. We argued that the physical planning is repealing the existing principal Physical Planning Act. The Bill has only eight clauses talking about land use, while 92 clauses talk about physical planning. When a Bill like this collapsed in the 11th Parliament, some of us who were there gave in because the Government and the people of Kenya need the Bill. So, we agreed on that title. In the velum circulated ...

carefully inserted. So, the moment we touch a title of a Bill, then we have to amend each clause where it appears. So, there were 445 instances we had to amend. Going forward, the mediation committee Members should be paid more allowances because they sit for long hours and it is very stressing. At one time, I told Hon. Mbadi that that will not tempt us to go to the Senate. There was a time they proposed an amendment to make reference to the Senate as the National Senate of Kenya. There is nothing like that. They said that where ...
