• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Following various investigations, the EACC has forwarded to the Office of the DPP a total of 183 cases as per the Report. Why was this House recalled? It was recalled because of a very important constitutional obligation. The story out there is that the war on corruption can never be won if institutions that fight corruption are corrupt. In the Constitution of Kenya, 2010, Kenyans, in their wisdom, decided to establish independent commissions and offices which are only answerable to Parliament, to deal with matters of corruption and ethics. We are talking about the Office of the Auditor-General, Controller of ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: we are taking the country in circles. Mr. Mbarak, the DPP and the Auditor-General must clean their offices. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: When the Auditor-General’s officers are sent to audit accounts of far fledged counties, they are told there is an element of insecurity like the Al Shabaab . They do not go, but the truth of the matter is that they go to bed with the governors. It is good because we are dealing with the Kenya Pipeline Company, the Kenya Power and Lighting Company and all national Government institutions which are corrupt. Why are we not dealing with huge amount of resources which are wasted in county governments? There is a lot of wastage. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: There is a lot of corruption in our county governments. In the event that we amend the Constitution, I will give my opinion before 1st January 2019. That is because the presidential system of Government is a winner takes it all. The solution to that is to adopt a parliamentary system with a ceremonial President and create a federal system of Government in Kenya. We must have federalism in Kenya like in Ethiopia where 80 per cent of the national revenue goes to the majimbos and we remain with only 20 per cent in the national Government. The function of ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me explain to Hon. Shamalla. There is too much corruption at the centre. If we have to fight corruption, and if we want to make sure that each and every part of Kenya gets and eats the cake, then we should emulate what is happening in Ethiopia. Let us have 47 States with federal governments. We must speak. If we want to kill the presidential system of winner take it all, let us go the federal system way. Let us have a parliamentary system where the contest will be in constituencies where there will be no ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I agree. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I am making this statement so that, as we go for the Christmas and New Year break, we have something for discussion. In January, if we agree on a referendum, the only one I will support is that of federalism and a parliamentary system of government. After being the Leader of the Majority Party, the other job I will look for is to become the federal regional president of Garissa State. That is what I want. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: In conclusion, I challenge Major Rtd. Twalib to lead the Commission and to sincerely partner with other players. He must have a working relationship with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Office of Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Office of Inspector General of Police. There must be a good working relationship between him and the Judiciary. The war on corruption cannot be won by alienating the Judiciary. The Judiciary, under the leadership of Chief Justice Maraga, is critical. He should work with the leadership of Parliament also. He must guide the Commission to the truth. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Major Rtd. Twalib Mbarak has what it takes. He has an intelligence background in security and has worked in the military. He has the discipline and I do not think he will let down the people of Kenya. He was nominated pursuant to Section 16(1) of the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission Act of 2011 and Section 5(1) of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act. view
