22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
I can go on to some of the great provisions in this Bill. This Bill touches directly on the well-being of the Members of this House. Allow me extra three or four minutes. Every time there is a new session, our car grants become a national issue. It was not there in the 10th Parliament when I was new Member of Parliament with Hon. Cheptumo and Hon. Mbadi. But from the 11th Parliament, it became an issue because of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). We must anchor it in law so that nobody can question it. Our constituency office ...

22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can talk for long. We need to put in law the role of political parties under the presidential system of Government. The National Super Alliance and Jubilee parties must be funded by the Commission. We must have a secretariat and offices where we can do party caucuses. In other jurisdictions, there are party caucuses every Tuesday. We must have specific infrastructure designated for political parties and parliamentary political party caucuses and paid by Parliament. The Kenya Women Parliamentary Association (KEWOPA) must be recognised in this law. Other caucuses in Parliament that are just hanging must ...

22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Allow me to reiterate that this Bill is not just for Members of this House but also for Members of the Senate. I know monitoring and evaluation, which has been in the air from the Senate, will be put in this Bill and it will be for all Members of Parliament. The Senate cannot have their cake and eat it.

The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Chair needs to do it. In conclusion, this Bill is therefore critical and lies in the definition of our ability as Members of Parliament. A renowned Parliamentary Service will lead to an enhanced public service delivery and effective Members of Parliament. For this reason, I rise to support. As I second, let me say it. I have stayed in this Parliament for a long time now. We have very good staff in legislation, Budget Office, Legal and other departments, but let me also put a rider. Over the years, and Members who ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, no. When I am on the Floor of the House, it is the time I can speak my mind: my free thoughts and free speech. The moment I leave the Chamber, I am gagged, but here I can say anything under 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.

sun. What I am saying is true. Hon. Members, please, do not bribe. It is your right. In fact, you should call the person to your office and demand service. Thank you very much, I beg to second.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am a bit confused and I want to go on record. This is a Senate Bill and within the reading of the Constitution, it emanated from the Senate. What we are doing here is to delete anything to do with counties. In the whole of Clause 5, we are deleting the functions of the CECs responsible for this matter.
