14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
relevant Government agencies had undertaken investigations relating to issues raised in this petition. In light of Paragraph Four of the Report, where the Committee has considered the petition, does it amount to usurping the functions of other relevant Government agencies? What is the effect of the orders by the court directing this House, the Office of the Speaker and that of the Attorney-General not to act on the recommendation made by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade relating to the petition? That this House cannot act until a constitutional petition is heard and determined? Simply put, can a ...

Yes, he is honorable because he represents himself in court; he has no lawyer. He is not allowed. However, he can play any other monkey business. I have read that judgement and seen what Omtatah filed. He, in fact, did not ask for conservatory orders. So, we must know the interest of the said Judge in this matter. Who asked for conservatory orders? You are either a judge or a litigant. There is no way a judge can serve as both the judge and litigant. In this case, we want Judge Mwita to tell us who asked for the conservatory ...

In Mombasa, the Chief Justice came with clean hands. He addressed the top leadership, under your leadership, in good faith. We agreed on many things and that is why Hon. Chepkong’a is moving the Bill he asked us to fast-track. I do not think we are interested anymore with that Bill. I want to tell Hon. Chepkong’a to go and talk to the owners of that Bill to come here and pass that Bill. For us here, it is not--- That ruling is certainly a breach of the agreed position and in this regard I seek your clarification on how ...

When I mention ethnic, I am talking about everybody. So relax. You will have your time. We cannot use this House and its committees for mob justice when we want to protect our next of kin. I want to read the Report of the Committee in a free, fair and not unbiased way. I might be the person who stands for Edward Ouko and defends him on this Floor. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

But before the food is cooked by the Committee, you cannot tell us it will not be cooked, no salt should be put in it or we should not listen to people. I am one person who is ready. Even as the leader of Jubilee I will not allow this coalition to succumb the due process of the Legislature. This time, you must rise to the occasion and give us direction. I hope and pray that in protecting Parliament, the Chair will continue with his investigation on Thursday. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, we were discussing a matter which was raised by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade when my colleague, Hon. Nyamweya was away. As the Member for Garissa Township, I have raised substantive issues to the Speaker. This is not about the Leader of the Majority Party and the CJ. In fact, to the contrary, I said this to the CJ when we were in a meeting. Hon. Nyamweya is not part of the leadership and that is the problem. He has a long way to go to be a leader. So, is he ...

14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this is a matter that you must also put your foot down. M/s. Baker Tilly Merali auditing firm was appointed by the PSC in 2013 to audit the Office of the Auditor-General. Until now, there is no report from that audit firm. In fact, that audit firm went and did business with the Office of the Auditor-General. Therefore, it is part of the investigation that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade is dealing with. When they were appointed, as you said, they did not go through the vetting of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and ...

5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this very important Bill. At the outset, I congratulate Hon. Agoi for bringing up this very progressive piece of legislation. Basic education is not only a right under our Constitution, but a very important step for any Kenyan who is starting life. The processes that we go through in our examinations are critical to our young generation. Therefore, they deserve all the attention and legislation to ensure that we safeguard that process and ensure that it is done in a manner that, indeed, meets not only ...
