As a result of this, the HBC has not scheduled any business for next week. After the recess, we will consider the Second Reading of the Computer and ...

29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Hon. Member for Nyando, who is also my very good friend, should know there are no letters. What is before the Hon. Speaker is that you are either asking an adjournment of the House to discuss that matter or you are sending Questions to be slotted for the CS, Interior and Coordination of National Government to deal with the matter. You know a letter between you and the Office of the Hon. Speaker cannot be part of the Order Paper. The Order Paper is prepared subsequent to the House Business Committee meeting. So, what he has ...

29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Chairman, I tend not to agree with the Chair and I really want the House to listen to me. We must have uniformity in this country and we must not discriminate against different people. For a Member of Parliament to access pension properly, he must serve for two terms, which is 10 years. Why do we want to make other civil servants serve for five years and it is 10 years for MPs? The Bill comes from the National Treasury. It says we should have uniformity. Other civil servants access their pension after five years and MPs at 10 ...

29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Chairman, I really want to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning who subjected this Bill to public participation. He has made it very clear. The PSC has representation in SRC. Even in the 11th Parliament, when we, as leadership, engaged the Speaker, SRC was on part time. They said that we would meet the following month on a particular date. When they met on that date, they missed quorum and then they decided to meet another day. So, just like any other commissioners, we have agreed to let them be full time, so ...

29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Two, there is nowhere in any commission where the President is not involved as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of this country. That is very important. In every commission, the President gets three names and he picks one. This was not the case with SRC. That is why the Bill is giving the President the power to choose the Chairperson because it is a serious Commission. Just like in any other commission, that power must be returned to the President. We want to make sure that the selection panel is good, it has merit and it follows the tradition of ...

29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I support the proposed amendments and thank Hon. Shollei for proposing these amendments. I am sure other Chairs of Committees will pick from where she has left. It is a function of this House to make sure that laws are very clear and complied with. In amendment 5A she has specified the relevant documents that must accompany any statutory document that is sent to Parliament, like the statement of proof, a brief statement on all the consultations to show that consultation was done with stakeholders and a brief statement on the way the consultation itself was ...
