12 May 2011 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second this very important Bill. As has been very eloquently and with great detail covered by the Minister, this Bill is very important for the State officers in this country and public servants in general.

Article 250 of the Constitution further provides for enactment of a national legislation to provide:- (a) the manner of ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill, therefore, is key and urgent as it is the piece of legislation that seeks to operationalize and implement the broad Constitutional principles relating to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, as well as legislation on the policy matters contained in the 2006 Pay Policy for the Public Service. The Bill seeks to provide for the necessary legal framework for a single institution to set and regularly review the salaries and benefits of all State officers and to advise on the remuneration and benefits of all other public officers.

22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support this Motion. I think we need to separate the two issues; the question of taking our sovereignty back and the issue of trying to exonerate the Ocampo Six. Those are two different matters. We may have made a mistake. What we are saying is that we need to correct the mistake we made in the past; the question of selling our sovereignty. We need to go back to the drawing board. In the spirit of the new Constitution and the new foundation, we need to start respecting the institutions that we ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity, first of all, to thank all the hon. Members who contributed to this Motion. We take their contributions very positively and we will ensure that those issues that do not require any extra funding are implemented. I would like to respond to a few issues that have been raised. First of all, there is the issue of attitudinal problems amongst our civil servants, particularly at the higher echelons, respect for elective office and, generally, performance problems.

31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly:
Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this amendment and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for bringing together the relevant stakeholders in actually achieving this particular amendment which is acceptable to many of the key stakeholders. However, just like the rest of the amendments this morning and this afternoon, it is not likely to see the light of day. At this juncture, really, Kenyans require of us, as leaders, to take leadership in this process. But from the trend, I do not think we are standing up to that. We do ...
