• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I agree with my colleagues who have spoken before me that this Bill is timely taking into account that there is a referendum in the offing. Therefore, we are in order to come up with this proposed Bill.

I was one of those Members who were undemocratically axed from that Committee. I am familiar with the contents of this Bill. I ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am aware of the Bill that we are discussing. It is important that when Members start to debate, the Speaker, who is a neutral arbiter, allows free and fair debate. I am reacting to debate that occurred on the Floor of this House.

• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to take a slight diversion from the sentiments expressed by Hon. Kimunya and ask whether this particular House has the capacity or is capable of protecting independent commissions. Specifically, how much money have we allocated to these commissions? They have appeared before the Budget and Appropriations Committee, and their respective departmental committees. I know, for example, that the Kenya National Human Rights Commission is overseen by the Judicial Leaders Advisory Council (JLAC) and many times, they have only been funded for Recurrent Expenditure. Money for other programmes has been systematically taken away. ... view
