6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must follow the Standing Orders and the dress code. It is important that, at least, there must be a collar. If you become lenient, then tomorrow I will come with a Kikoi . I will come with whatever I want. Hon. Ichung’wah will come with a t-shirt. We are not in the South African Parliament. This Parliament is unique. That cap is not religious and that dress is close to a police uniform. We do not want to turn this Chamber into a police station by designing and wearing police uniform. Hon. Mwashetani is in my ...

6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, whatever has transpired between the time Hon. Pukose stood and now is not part of the Bill! This Bill is addressing four key issues. One, it clarifies on commencement and sitting of a county assembly – where it should be and when it should sit. Two, it is putting in place, for the first time, legal framework for the establishment of the office of the deputy speaker of a county assembly. This is urgent because a court has ruled in a matter concerning Murang’a County Assembly that the office of the deputy speaker does not exist. That ...

6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Of course, the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly is provided for in law. He is not under threat. I want to assure the Deputy Speaker that, unless another Bill comes to the House, you are safe for now. It clarifies how we can establish, in law, the office of the deputy speaker in a county assembly. Nearly all the 47 deputy speakers were in my office. They are waiting for this Bill to be enacted so that they can have their position anchored in law. This law will clarify on the process for removal of a speaker of a ...

6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Committee to apply to the College of Arms for grant of the coat of arms. How do they apply and get it? The amendment in Clause 3 seeks to provide for commencement of county assembly sittings. Section 136(1) of the County Governments Act provides for the first sitting of a county assembly after the first election under the new Constitution. The Act does not provide for what happens in the second election and subsequent ones under the new Constitution. So, the County Governments Act only talks about the first election. What happens in subsequent elections? Where will be the sittings ...

6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Wamalwa wants me to learn the many sub-tribes of the Luhya community. Following the Friday Big Lunch, we are heading towards uniting Kenyans outside sub-tribes and tribes. I know Hon. Omulele is a second termer; a serious Member of the Speaker’s Panel. I never said “Omulembe”. I said “Omulele”. But I will take some time and learn the many sub-tribes. It will be of great benefit to where I come from, going forward – the 2022 equation. So, I am under obligation to learn all the sub-tribes; not only in Western but even in Ukambani, Mt. ...

6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly:
The amendment contained in Clause 11 of the Bill seeks to fill the existing gaps in law on what happens when a governor-elect dies or is incapacitated before he or she is sworn in. The other one is the county public service boards established under Section 57 of the Act. The principal role of that board includes establishment and abolition of offices in the respective counties. What happens? A governor loses an election and 65 per cent of people working in that county were his people. Then a new governor comes in and wants to send those people home and ...
