31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
The Petition has to help us to amend the health laws before the House. It is not for KMA to regulate, KMA is a union. It will defend its members. I had an incident like Hon. Mbadi’s. I had a patient at Nairobi Hospital two years ago. When I was about to discharge that patient, five doctors who were coming to see my patient gave me a bill of about Kshs3 million. One of the doctors was just coming to greet my patient. He used to come in the morning. Funny enough, he knew the local language though he came ...

Hon. Speaker, I am laughing because Hon. Mbadi must have a very intelligent daughter who was asking him why he was not in the National Youth Service (NYS) list. He has a very intelligent daughter.

Hon. Speaker, what we are saying is that the media enjoys a space in this country and we have no intention of curtailing that space. However, they cannot be allowed to disparage and 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.

injure the integrity of the Legislature. The media has a role to point out specific individuals, either MPs or staff of Parliament if they are found in inappropriate situation or conduct. Even the matter of salaries, for the first time, I realized that the case that was decided yesterday by the court was filed in 2014, and the court used that to gag the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). However, when the judgement was given yesterday, the interpretation was that it was talking about the chamber and committee sittings which we are not part of.

31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Members will agree with me that I do not care about the newspapers. My Party Leader at one point said: “ Ni ya kufunga nyama .” I trust my Party Leader and I believe he was very correct. I did not ask him why he said that, but the President said: “ Magazeti ni ya kufunganyama ”.

31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
So, I tell MPs as we ask for direction that even that newspaper, I am sure right now it is somewhere in a butchery being used to wrap mandazis and chapatis . The point I am raising is that when you are within the precincts of Parliament and you have been given a privilege as a reporter… The reporters of Parliament are different from other reporters. Even in the House of Congress or the US House of Representatives, the people who report from the Legislature are people who are trained on the on-goings of the legislature such that they can ...

31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, there is something going on there. The story of out of four, three of them are indicted; they are asking among the four who are sitting in front, between the Whip and the Leader, who is more corrupt? Unfortunately maybe, all of them are corrupt.

So, Hon. Speaker, the Committee on Privilege must look into this matter and Members of the Fourth Estate who have been seconded here and given to cover the Legislature must cover it with facts and figures. Where they feel there is an impropriety being committed or there is indecency that touches on the integrity of an individual Member, let them mention the committee and the individual and not do a blanket condemnation on MPs.

31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Last week, we raised substantial issues about the Senate and the next day, the Senate wanted to reply to us. There was a Senator who graduated from being a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) to the Senate which, in my opinion, is wrong. The people of Kenya should not allow that to happen. Kenyans must allow an MCA to become a County Assembly Speaker, then a Deputy Governor then an MP, then a Senator. However, there is a Senator who graduated from an MCA directly to the Senate. So, instead of arguing on the points that we raised on ...
