Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because Hon. Rozaah is an old friend of mine, I withdraw to calm her down.

5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I really want to thank the Chair. I am happy that the Cabinet Secretary for Petroleum and the Principal Secretary for Treasury last week came out and stated clearly that in July last year, the Petroleum Development Levy was at 0.4 per cent per litre. Hon. Munyes, through a Gazette Notice, increased it to Kshs5.4 per litre. The objective of that increment was to use those resources to subsidise the oil marketers not to increase the fuel prices. I want to ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, using our Budget Office, to ...

5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 83 to raise a point of order on a very fundamental constitutional question touching on the Health Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2021. I ask you to indulge me because it is in Order No. 13. I am not imputing any bad motive on the Deputy Speaker and the Speaker’s Panel, but by the time we reach there, you will not be in the Chair because of Order No. 11. Allow me to raise this matter so that as our substantive Speaker, you can guide the House. From the outset, this Bill intends to ...

5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly:
Committee in its Report completely disregarded their submissions. In disregard of Article 118 of the Constitution, the Committee never considered one single memorandum, neither did it give some of those institutions and bodies an opportunity to appear before it to prosecute. I am not saying it out of the blue. I have looked at the Report. In this regard, the question that begs is to what extent this Bill can proceed for Second Reading when the Committee had not properly conducted public participation as required by the Constitution and our own Standing Order No. 127. You have ruled a number ...

5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly:
Constitution and Standing Order No.127. I do not want to restate what you have severally guided this House on before that public participation, within the reading of Article 118, should not be a cosmetic exercise. We all know what happens to Bills that have been subjected to a cosmetic public participation process - they all die. Several Bills of this House have suffered that fate when challenged in a competent court of law. It is against that background that despite several bodies in the health sector, including the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) and the Kenya Clinical Officers Association ...

5 Oct 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I do not want to interrupt my colleague and the Leader of the Majority Party. I think what Hon. T.J. raised is that we use the Constitution and Standing Orders. Where the Speaker finds it necessary, then you go to traditions of other jurisdictions and practices. Where you do not find all those, then the Speaker uses Standing Order No. 1. That is the matter. Hon. Speaker, the Leader of the Majority Party is out of order to mislead this House that we are raising a matter of constitutionality under Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution and ...
