• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: really want to thank the Senate - “the other House”, as we were told with the Deputy Speaker when we were in London last week. As I finish, I saw something in the newspapers that Hon. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr and Hon. Sakaja have a Bill that will regulate how the two Houses relate. I am shocked. The Constitution in Articles 109, 110, 111 and 112 provides how the two Houses must relate in terms of which Bills must go to the Senate and which ones must come to the National Assembly, and which House is supposed to deal with money ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank all the Members who contributed this afternoon to the County Governments (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.11 of 2017). A number of issues were raised such as nominated MCAs being guns for hire. I do not want to qualify that statement. If we want to deal with nominated MCAs, majority of whom are women, we must pass the two-thirds gender Bill. There is no short-cut about it, Hon. Engineer. Because we could not pass the two-thirds gender Bill, we ended up with the top-up of young beautiful ladies who were nominated by political ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I am talking about the ones in Garissa County Assembly. Those are the only ones I have seen. I have never seen the ones in Nyandarua and Kakamega, but only the nominated MCAs in Garissa. This Bill deals with the issue of putting in law the office of the deputy speaker. We have a case of Murang’a County where the court has ruled that, that seat is illegal. Thirdly, the Bill deals with how to establish the county assembly, the commencement date and when it should sit. It also stipulates how to deal with a case where a governor-elect dies ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can hold brief for the Chair. He is yet to deal with two sections of that Bill. He is yet to table the Report. So, I advise the House Business Committee that we deal with this matter next week. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a very serious guy, but my chairs are letting me down. I spoke to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives and we agreed that we will start on this Bill tomorrow afternoon. With your indulgence, we can do the Committee of the whole House, which is a small Bill, in the time left before we go to the Zero Hour. The Kenya Accreditation Service Bill is very important. So, I have agreed with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives that we can deal with ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Osotsi’s amendment is Clause 4A as per the Order Paper. Address Clause 4A. Anything short of that, you are taking us to something we do not know. The Order Paper says it is Clause 4A. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want Hon. Osotsi to listen to me. The current IEBC has a function when it comes to delineation of boundaries. That is why the role is given to the chair, but not staff of the IEBC. It is a commissioner. That is what we have. One of the functions of the current Commission is to conduct boundary review. So, we will not change it to a staff member because it is a commission. Out of the seven members, the Commission will form a sub-committee of the Commission that will deal with ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose the proposed amendment. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to be captured in the HANSARD stating that the only body that can alter boundaries is the IEBC. There are even Members of Parliament who think that the provincial administration can alter boundaries. The only body in the Constitution that can write a report for the President to sign is the IEBC. There is no way you can create Makueni as a city without touching on constituencies and wards. The cities being created are not in Mars. They are created in our constituencies. That is why the IEBC is given the chair in the ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose the proposed amendment. The reason why I oppose is that if we want to create cities, population is the biggest criteria to use in their determination. When we will need Konza to be a city, we will look at it in its own unique ways. But if we amend the Bill just because of Konza, then some people will turn villages into cities. The criteria of determining a city is population. When it comes to Konza as special city, then we as a House or anybody can amend the law. But we cannot use ... view
