• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Justice Njoki Ndung’u is remembered everywhere in Kenya not because she is a Judge of the Supreme Court, but because she brought the Sexual Offences Bill. Hon. Joe Donde is remembered for the Interest Rate Capping Bill and many other leaders. So, we felt that we should give this provision. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Standing Order 114 outlines the procedure for processing Bills. It has in-built timelines and processes geared towards ensuring that public participation and the production of Bills are not just as we do in factories. With regard to Bills, just like the way commodities are produced in a factory, this House has provided timelines and processes. To this end, there are Members who love going to talk shows to blame your office, mine and that of the Leader of the Minority Party as the ones responsible for sitting on Members’ draft Bills. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, that is far from the truth. We have no powers to do that. In fact, when a Bill is published, it goes to the House Business Committee (HBC), where we schedule it for debate. I saw a Member say that I was sitting on his Bill on coffee and tea. Why should I do so? I do not grow coffee or tea. If it were a Bill on camels, I would have some interest. With regard to coffee, the only time I take coffee is when I am in my office. So, I have no interest. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: It is even good to say this for the benefit of the public, that what you see on social media such as letters written to the Speaker, are not Bills. Those are similar to when you ask for permission to be away from the House. So, do not cheat the public. Do not look for cheap glorification. You write a letter to the Speaker, before he reads it, the moment his secretary stamps it and maybe the Speaker is in the Chamber, he will read it on the social media. view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: We need to be very careful and give the House enough time. The House has also been deprived of time for Private Members’ Bills. Wednesday mornings are being dominated by ordinary Motions. At a time like this in the last Parliament, we would have had 15 Private Members’ Bills. The HBC was struggling to give it priority. We are publishing the 33 Bills because the committees have delayed them. Hon. Kamket is here and for the last nine months, his two Bills have been lying at the Budget and Appropriations Committee. One of them is the Equalisation Fund Bill, and ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I think it is good and I agree with you that the HBC takes this route of disposing of Members’ Bills. That is why we have a very robust legal department, a budget office, a good team at the legislative office and a very strong Clerk. Please, let us create more business and forget about this matter of urging. I mean how can the House spend three hours urging? In fact, we should introduce Motions that resolve so that they can be sent to the Budget and Appropriations Committee to look at their money aspect and if the Speaker feels ... view
