23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
No, no, no, he is consulting the Minority Leader; he needs to listen to me. On this matter the media is reporting a lot of issues and so many things have changed. You know I am sitting next to the Member for Fafi. His party leader is becoming a serious candidate. Therefore, a lot of things are changing. Hon. Gideon Moi is his party leader. Therefore, I want the Chairman to tell us two things. He is entitled to an extension of time but he should be candid to the House. Why do they want an extension? Is there a ...

18 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I first want you to protect me from Hon. Sankok. I am not arriving from Dubai. If I want to go to Dubai, I can even go this afternoon. I rise to support the suggestion by Hon. Maoka Maore. I have two reasons why I should do so. This august House has a moral and constitutional duty not to put the country into a financial crisis. We have seen the mood of the House. This is the Division of Revenue Bill that divides the resources between the two levels of government vertically. In the event that this Bill ...

18 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
on Monday and invite the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury to continue with the negotiations. The NG-CDF Board will also be here. Let us not throw away the baby with the bathwater. I really want to ask you that we agree to the suggestion under Standing Order 53; that, we step down this Bill. It will not be the first time we are doing such a thing, from my experience as the former Leader of the Majority Party. I did it many times and the House agreed with me. We do not know how the vote will go. I ...

18 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
I support the Deputy Majority Whip so that we step down this Bill as we build consensus. Consensus is not built within one or two hours. We can build it over the weekend through Monday. Moreover, the Leader of Majority and the leadership of the House can consult the Executive. We work together. This House must make a decision that is beneficial to the people of Kenya. That is why we are saying the NG-CDF is very critical. It is because it benefits the people of Kenya. The Division of Revenue Bill is beneficial to the people of Kenya. Therefore, ...

11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, the answer I was given was satisfactory. I am very happy with the CS, Mr. Macharia and his team, and the Chair of the Committee. I also want to thank the Office of the Clerk because they sent me the answer in advance and I read it. I spoke to the Chair and told him that I had no business appearing before the CS because the answer was satisfactory. If we get the answer early sometimes, Parliament can give us a written answer. If you are satisfied, that is good. I thank the Committee and the Ministry.

11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, first I want thank you because procedurally you have allowed us to ventilate when we were to take a vote. You have used Standing Order 1 and we thank you for that. The matter before us is vital. I have been here for 14 years and there are many people who served in the 10th Parliament. The NG-CDF is a very emotive issue, even during Mzee Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Government, when we were in the Grand Coalition Government. I agree. It is the first time I have seen, three months to the end of the ...

11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
I am saying we have to pass it subject to the NG-CDF issues. That is where I am going. As we sort the issue of the NG-CDF, the only route available tonight is you step down this matter and tell the leadership and the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee… If you read Standing Order 233(3), it gives you only 10 days from the day this thing is tabled. If you listen to the advisory opinion of the Supreme Court No. 3 of 2019, it says this House cannot enact an Appropriations Act without passing it. So, I think ...

item tonight. It is very volatile. Let us even come back for a Special Sitting next Thursday but we sort out this issue of the NG-CDF so that we do not throw away the baby with the bathwater. Let us not throw away this Bill because of the issues of the NG-CDF. I really indulge you.

11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
In fact, you can use Standing Order 1. Shelve this Bill so that we can vote in the next Sitting, either in a Special Sitting or on 23rd March 2021. In that window we will have the Chairperson of the NG-CDF Committee, the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the leadership and the Executive sort out this issue of NG-CDF 2020/2021. I rest my case.
