8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Report. I am sure many people were waiting for my individual position. As I said, when we were dealing with the matter of Esther Koimett, the vetting procedures of the House are anchored in law and the checklist is provided. Regardless of issues that you have against a nominee, if a competent committee of this House vetted a nominee based on the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act and the Constitution—more so Article 75 of the Constitution and section 6(8) of the Act—looking at the qualifications of the nominees, looking at their ...

Committee, despite Sarah Serem making our lives difficult, did not find anything else as per the Act and the Constitution to deny her the job. Last night, I slept because China is very far. We will ask the President that after China, if there will be another posting, she will go to Brazil now that we do not have an embassy in Antarctic.

There should be ceasefire between us and Sarah Serem. She has to fly 16 hours to come and do consultancy for SRC. So, Members, we are very safe. If we reject her, she will be around and she might be hired as a consultant by the new SRC. Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, Hon. Kaluma and our Hon. Speaker know what we went through. We are here because we are people who think. In the USA, they call it the “situation room”. We found a way. So, let us support. We ask Hon. Sarah Serem that when we come to China… The ...

8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly:
We as Parliamentarians… Hon. Joyce relax. We are not in Bomet County Assembly. We are in the National Assembly. Whenever we go for a trip, the first thing the Clerk does is to contact our embassies. It is not a favour. Every time an MP is leaving the country, the Clerk contacts our consulate or embassy. It is not a favour. Now that we have approved her, when we go to Beijing… Most of us do not go to Beijing. We go to Guangzhou where we can eat the African food. If at all we end up in Beijing, please, ...

8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I am sure Members will agree with me. The question is: Is it better to have her around as a consultant with the SRC or as an ambassador in China? The opportunity cost is to have her as an ambassador to China.

8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I served in the 10th Parliament. Hon. Kimunya was a very powerful Minister but to my knowledge, he has never served on the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) that decides on mileage. When he says that he refused to increase mileage, that has never been. He was very powerful in the Kibaki Government for reasons all of us know. He had no powers in as far as the Commission is concerned. He is out of order. Can he withdraw that he set the mileage for us? He was not arrogant. He was a humble man.

8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, please indulge me. Some of the Chairs of the various committees have not tabled their reports on the Bills. Therefore, I want you to defer the following Bills: The Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill, the County Governments (Amendment) Bill and the Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill. Lastly, last night at the House Business Committee, we agreed that the Finance Bill will be slated for debate the week beginning 21st August. I want us to step down and put them for next week because the Chairs have asked for time to interrogate the Senate Bills and file reports to ...

Hon. Speaker, I am not seeing the Chairs of the Joint Committee on the sugar inquiry. Hon. Makali will agree with me that we never anticipated that we will have 30 minutes. It is a very important Report. We want you to direct that it be the first item on the Order Paper tomorrow afternoon, so that those who have eaten sugar, those who have not eaten sugar or those who are connected to sugar in one way or the other can sleep well and wake up tomorrow and come and debate in the afternoon. It is a very emotive ...
