4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
It does not cost anybody anything to pick a copy of the Parliamentary Service Bill, look at it and see what it talks about. It is very sad that senior editors - I have a lot of respect for journalists who have worked in Parliament for a long time – but the term “greed” can misinform the nation on the Parliamentary Service Bill. In Chapter Fifteen of the Constitution, there are 13 commissions and two independent office holders. This House, from the 10th, 11th and now the 12th Parliament has completed the actualisation or legislated all the commissions and today ...

I also blame the Leader of the Minority Party, my good friend, Hon. Junet and Hon. Chris Wamalwa. They have briefed Baba . When I saw his Press statement the other day, I said that he should have been briefed by that leadership. I was in the President’s function in Mombasa and he only commented on what was in a newspaper. But if you look at the Press statement by the 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.

4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
former Prime Minister, the guy who drafted it should be fired because he has put the former Prime Minister in bad light. The Bill does not talk about salaries, house allowances and mileage. I challenge the media house to get a copy of the Bill and tell Kenyans the truth.

4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
It is not a secret that I got access, and do not ask me how, to a forum of discussion of Senators and got to know what they are saying about the Bill. The highest-ranking staff members of Parliament are the Clerks who are accounting officers. A Clerk or anybody cannot fight a Bill before the House. Staff cannot fight a Bill. If a Member brings an amendment saying that we will put certain grades of staff of Parliament on performance contract, which are at similar level in the Executive and the Judiciary… They have signed them. They are saying ...

4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
The Judicial Service Commission Bill was not taken to the Senate and the National Land Commission Bill was not taken there either. It has nothing to do with counties. I saw a Bill that will be brought to this House by Hon. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. and Hon. Sakaja to put into law how the two Speakers can make a determination on where Bills should belong. That determination is already decided in the Constitution. Articles 109, 110,111, and 112 talk about where Bills should originate from. Because we are a House that respects the Constitution, let me quote Article 109(3). I ...

4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
I am not the one saying that. Article 109(2) of the Constitution says that any Bill may originate in the National Assembly. Further, Article 109(4) of the Constitution says: “A Bill concerning county government may originate in the National Assembly or the Senate and is passed in accordance with Article 110…” So, we are too magnanimous because our colleagues, some Senators, also sit in the Parliamentary Service Commission and the Secretary of the Commission is the Clerk of the Senate. We were magnanimous and wanted to bend the law. Ideally, someone must convince me like the renowned lawyers Hon. Olago ...

Today, the whole country has been misinformed that the Parliamentary Service Bill is about greed.

4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Junet made a very good statement. Why can this country not, for a minute, let us have a discussion on the salaries of everybody? Let us discuss what a judge, Cabinet Secretary or Principal Secretary earns and what their allowances are. I want to implore the Members of the Senate that this is something which we are going to amend. A car grant is a right of a Member of Parliament and we have been getting it from the 10th Parliament. Today, there are people in the Executive who get mortgage to buy a house and every month they ...
