• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: You know the Leader of the Majority Party has the habit of interrupting me, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: My position is that IPOA had previously done a very good work. 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. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, I have added the word “previously.” There is an issue. Maybe intolerance within the Executive is the reason some of these commissions are not doing their work. I rest my case. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As we call upon the other arms of Government and independent commissions to do their work, oversight and programme, this House must rise to its duty of oversight. As an arm of Government, the House must be allowed to function. Members of Parliament must take their independence seriously. It is a very difficult time for Parliament and Kenyans have been treated to a lot of activities around removal and clearance, like the old days. If the House is allowed to operate as a rubber stamp to the Executive, matters of public interest will be ... view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: the Exchequer and we must allow Kenyans to hold us accountable. We point fingers at the other arms, but we have failed Kenyans in our oversight role. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for the opportunity to speak. I want to correct Hon. Ichung’wah. I am not speaking because of gender balance. He is my friend, and I know he is quite gender responsive. I am speaking for the record and to contribute to the issue before us. view
• 16 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to join my colleagues to thank the Member for Kikuyu, Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, who is the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I heard Hon. Duale digressing on a particular issue, but I would like to thank him and his Committee for doing a very good job. It is quite a lot of work. We must appreciate Members who work hard. Hon. Duale should also be let to do his work. He is excellent in his job. His execution is perfect. When I said oversight is necessary and Parliament must be ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020. I will proceed to give the reasons. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The first reason that I feel that this Bill should not be supported is the fact that there is a proposal to remove 47 women Members of the counties. I am the Member for Kandara Constituency and I have listened to various arguments. Some Members said that the women who were elected in the constituencies should not support the 47 women representatives. On the contrary, this is an affirmative action position. By virtue of Clause 11 of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill, 2020, 47 women from the counties who sit in this House will not be here. We will ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: The argument that they will move to the Senate is also not proper because they sit in the Kenya National Assembly. It is my humble view that they will not do that willingly. It is because this Bill is here. I want Kenyans to know that as this House debates and votes for this Bill, whether it is a yes or no, those who are interested in it will vote for it. That is one aspect of this process. view
