Through you, Hon. Speaker, and in accordance with the provisions of Standing Order 227(2) which you have made a Communication this afternoon, I urge the respective committees to submit their reports on petitions to the Office of the Clerk because the Office has received numerous calls from petitioners complaining that some of their petitions have taken more than 60 days. I urge the Chairpersons with pending petitions before them to finalise their consideration and table the reports as directed by the Speaker this afternoon.

28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, you have been very diligent because you have given both the coalition and HBC adequate time. Most of us who sit in HBC will agree that four months is a long period and four months as per the Standing Orders, this House must have four Chairpersons. With the kind of workload that we have, Hon. Rachel Shebesh who is a Member of Pan-African Parliament (PAP) at times goes out. So, we need more Members to sit either in the plenary or in the Committee of the whole House. He might be a new Member, but from the character ...

Hon. Speaker, I asked whether the Member is in order to say that. Firstly, the Luhya community is not mentioned in this Motion. We are talking to the Luhya communities humbly. That should be extended to the Mulembe community by our colleagues. I have never said it on the Floor of the House. I am not in The Hansard . This Motion is on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC). The Motion was discussed in the HBC; unless the Member was away. Ours is either to approve or reject it. There is no way you can separate Hon. Omulele ...

28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly:
After what happened in the House Business Committee (HBC) on this matter, I went into soul searching. I went and read and found out that this matter is very weighty. Why am I saying it? A few years ago, gambling and betting were perceived to be a preserve of the risk-taking breed of the rich willing to gamble big money and casinos were opened everywhere in Kenya. That is not any more. With the spread of betting platforms like mobile-based sports gaming, Lotto and betting kiosks in every city estate, the wave seems to have caught even the lowest income ...
