• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As I second, I would like to say that this is one of the well-attended Committee of the whole House session. I am sure the white scarfs and betting contributed. We will introduce some controversial clauses in Bills so that people can attend. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to second. 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. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Congratulations, Hon. Speaker, and your colleagues, for representing us at the CPA-Africa Region meeting. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2), I rise to give the weekly Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) that met on Wednesday this week at the rise of the House in order to prioritise business for consideration. Next Tuesday, a Procedural Motion on a resolution to hold a sitting on Thursday morning has been scheduled. On that day, in priority of debate are reports of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on four sets of regulations which have been tabled ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We shall also consider the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill in the Committee of the whole House. We also hope to conclude the Finance Bill, 2018 at all stages before proceeding to the scheduled recess as the Bill has timelines that this House must fulfil. As Members are aware, the three CSs that were scheduled to appear before committees this week on Tuesday were unable due to the fact that it was a public holiday. I am also informed that next Tuesday, 28th August 2018, there will be a Cabinet meeting in the morning. In this regard, I am sure ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to second the Report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee. This Report seeks to amend the Standing Orders to provide for Question Time. Hon. Speaker, the House Business Committee which you chair, deliberated on the need to allow restoration of Question Time in the House to address the decline of Members’ interest in the current format of questions. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Deputy Speaker has said it all. Hon. Junet, for you information, sometimes the Deputy Speaker mixes his English with his native language. At one time, I went to Kabartonjo and they could not spell my name Duale. They were calling me Tuale. So, I asked the person who was seated next to me to pronounce Dar es Salaam, and he said Tar es Saalam. I then realised where the problem was. So, when it comes to CS and CAS, it is always a problem with the Deputy Speaker. So, Hon. Junet’s point of order was frivolous. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. John Mbadi, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, Hon. Cecily Mbarire and Hon, Jimmy Angwenyi will agree with me that the Backbenchers used to enjoy Question Time. Some of us who served as assistant ministers, our business in Government was to answer questions. The late, Hon. Ojode Sirkal used to be on his toes every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. It used to be very interesting. One of the moments I remember in Question Time was when the then Attorney-General, Githu Muigai was answering a question from a Backbencher who later became a party leader of the Chama cha Mashinani. When the ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We are introducing Question Time for Members to ask questions. As of now, we say the following Members will appear before Committee. This system will give an opportunity for a Member to ask the question on the Floor of the House. When we were doing the Constitution in the 10th Parliament, some of us proposed that ministers should be nominated from Members of Parliament. But some people opposed us, including one who is not in the House, Hon. Amos Kimunya. All these people lost in the 2013 General Election. They all went home. There are countries like France where half ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the work of a Member of Parliament is easier when his colleague minister is a Member of Parliament. He understands you better. You can even find him at the lounge, in the office or at the bar and raise pertinent issues concerning your constituency. The three arms of Government are so delinked that a CS will wonder whether what you are saying is possible or whether it can happen in your constituency. We used to ask questions concerning misconduct of even an Officer Commanding Station (OCS) in our constituencies. We used to ask questions of stalled projects. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: One time, Hon. Zakayo Cheruiyot asked a question to the then Minster of Public Works, Hon. Chris Obure over a project that his technical teams had said was 60 per cent complete. When he brought the answer here, Hon. Cheruiyot said that he had come from his constituency and that there was no project of that kind there. The Speaker, Hon.Marende ordered the Minister and the Member of Parliament to drive the following day to that constituency. Hon. Chris Obure was shocked that what he was told by his technical team was contrary to what was on the ground. The ... view
