Hon. Deputy Speaker, because of the acute issues facing the people of Northern Kenya about their livelihoods, for the first time I really want to ask, through you, if this Statement can be delivered next week. This is because people and animals ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, with much respect to the Hon. Member, he should have engaged with the Committee on these matters when the Cabinet Secretary was present.

I have not finished. Learn the procedures. We have been here for many years. He is basically blaming the Cabinet Secretary. Was the Chairman there at that time? If he was not there, the Chair has said the Cabinet Secretary will be coming to Parliament next Thursday for further clarifications, if the Member is not satisfied.

10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a House of records. The Chair of the Committee and the Member have both confirmed that this Cabinet Secretary does not comply with the summonses of this House. It is not about whether that Cabinet Secretary comes from the Coast or he has a brother here or there. This matter has come to the Floor of this House. If the President of the Republic of Kenya is coming to address this House in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, who is this Cabinet Secretary to refuse to come and respond to issues raised by ...

officers and State officers. This is the problem. Let us not compromise the role of the Legislature by letting a few cabinet secretaries get away with impunity.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will pick from where Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ left. I rise to contribute to the debate on the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on the nominees. I had a chance to peruse through the Report of the Committee and noted their recommendations.

10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly:
Two months ago, two commissioners resigned. They are Dr. Dabar Maalim and Rose Macharia. Madam Rose Macharia is not a Macharia of the Mountain. She is married, but she is from Taita Taveta. I participated in their initial vetting in this House. That is why today we are approving their replacements, namely, one Colonel Alfred Mutweta from Taveta and Dr. Monica Wanjiru as the new commissioners. Looking at the recommendations of the Committee, to what extent can we, as a House – I want the House to listen to me – say that the dictates of Article 232 of the ...

10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly:
Speaker of the National Assembly, the Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, the Commissioner- General of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Chief of Kenya Defence Forces and the Attorney-General come from one part of the country. This is not the Kenya that Hon. Raila Odinga contemplates in his Azimio la Kenya manifesto. That is why we say “let us walk the talk and say it as it is.” Let us not sugar coat such matters. Hon. T.J. has said it.

10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, if we approve these two nominees, it will be contrary to Article 10 of the Constitution on national values. If this House approves the two nominees and the Commission is fully constituted, its composition will not comply with Article 10 of the Constitution. From the manner the EACC has been operating, a lot of us will say that it has done a good job, but have we completed the war against corruption? I am told the remaining commissioners, including Archbishop Wabukala, are leaving office in December when their term comes to an end. On a light note, ...
