• 28 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take exception by way of point of order to two disparaging remarks the Member has made against Members of this House. You debate a Motion not because it is on the Floor, but for different reasons. It is unfair. The second issue is that the Member is talking about the Budget. We have just passed the Appropriations Bill and he was not here. He would have raised those issues before and asked where the money was. He is out of order. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: I oppose this amendment. Initially, we had a lot of challenges in the coordination between the National Land Commission and the Cabinet Secretary concerned. If we bring an amendment to return the confusion that was there, we would not have done anything useful. The amendment is not tenable at this stage. Consultation is sometimes being abused. I oppose. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me opportunity to support the Judiciary Fund Bill, 2016. It is regrettable that Parliament, in its duty, has not enacted this Bill. However, this 11th Parliament is doing the job timely. The timing of this Bill allows us to say something about the manner in which our Judiciary is managing administration of justice. We have been treated to numerous cases, allegations and accusations that the Judiciary is being compromised. We have heard that those who have money in this country buy justice. This story has been going on for long. You will ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: accountable to the people and to the country. Therefore, for this very critical arm of Government, it is right and proper for us to have this legislation to support them in handling their own funds. If they have to resort to the Government, we are aware and I know that it is possible for them to be arm-twisted and be given some conditions. Therefore, we want to speak to the fact that it is now time that the Judiciary lived to the expectations of this country. Judges who have attained the age of retirement whether there is a case going ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order. Is it in order for the Hon. Member to mislead the House that women were not elected in the constituencies because of the 47 CWRs? This was the first time the 47 women were elected and so there is no basis for his argument that the reason we did not bring women this time round was because of the 47 seats. Other than this 11th Parliament, the other parliaments have never received the number that we have today of 16 women elected in the constituencies. view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support Hon. Jude Njomo in bringing this Bill. It is truly timely to debate those matters at this moment. The banking industry is going through some form of a crunch or destabilisation because of the recent activities of three banks. I want us to interrogate the activities of the CBK as the banking sector regulator. I see that the Governor of the CBK has put these banks under receivership. It is good for us to appreciate that once a bank gets into a crisis where people rush to ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to support and say that the Bill is timely. As a House, we should allow this to pass. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I will start where my colleague, Hon. Mbadi, has stopped. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Mbadi needs to give me time. view
• 22 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to continue from where Hon. Mbadi left in terms of the fact that this Bill is in this House and the House has no choice. The Government has brought this Bill through the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale. The Government, to that extent, has discharged a large part of its responsibility. Why do I say so? I say so because in 2012, an advisory opinion was sought by the Government. An order was issued that by 27th August 2015 we needed, as a House, to have come up with a Bill. Last ... view
