• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on elections, we need to go deeper in terms of governance and broader representation. I am happy to see the way they have looked at our branches but there are still some areas that have not been listed. In the listing, it will be important as they list the centres and towns under various branches, for them to kind of leave an opening for any other town that may fall within those regional branches of the Society. I think this is good because, one way or the other, members will be able to approach their branches ... view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I have concerns about the view because you could see sometimes ethnicity coming out in some of those public campaigns instead of clearly addressing governance issues, professionalism and members’ issues. Of course, the beneficially of the LSK work should be its members. This is because we are paying members. Therefore, there is need to keep away from raw politics. I know that they must be involved in governance but they must raise the bar in terms of how they engage the political organs of this country. We do not think that it is good for the LSK to be seen ... view
• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will also notice lately that the LSK has been supporting some decisions. Hon. Members who have spoken on this Floor have taken issue with some of the inconsistencies coming from our courts in terms of judgments. I think the LSK needs to be very careful particularly--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I am here, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am the Member for Kandara Constituency. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that must be sabotage. It is not a technical error because even when the reports about those who have contributed most in this House were published, there was still an error. I am happy that you have noted that anomaly. The Member for Thika Town is Alice Ng’ang’a. There is confusion but we need to harmonise this. I have also drawn some benefits because I have received some money--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am grateful for the opportunity to add my voice to this debate and support the Public Procurement and Disposal (Amendment) Bill. I am happy that hon. Sakaja has thought of this. I am, however, disappointed because while he ably presented the Bill, he also noted that there is need to include both persons with disability and women in this Bill. Therefore, I will be one of those people who will be engaging him, so that we can include other people who have previously not benefited from public procurement. I say this on a very serious ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I can make an intelligent guess that the Treasurer is possibly a woman. These are things that we must, as leaders, stop applying and practising. I am happy that they have even come up with an association but for the same reason for being here, looking for--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The reason as to why we are here seeking to amend the Public Procurement and Disposal Act is because of Government’s failure to be alive to gender issues as well as youth issues and needs. So, as leaders, we must take these issues seriously. We will not be belabouring the point here. As we think of this mechanism, the evaluation and monitoring mechanisms are also very important. The practice has been that procurement officers in our public institutions have continuously engaged in business as usual. You will find that two or three people will ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted to make an intervention before you made your ruling. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would leave the words “judgment debtor”. Looking at the entire provision, if you read it separately, it may have a different meaning, but if you read it within that clause, the judgment debtor is the one who has secured a judgment in court and they need to--- view
