• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: In 2016, it was of necessity because of the ratification, which now brings in parliamentary oversight. Nobody can then tell Parliament that we cannot access the facility because it is part of our constitutional duties. Nobody can restrict Parliament in terms of where they can access. These are the gains that have come in. We will now be able to do things far much better than before. The community will receive much in terms of the corporate social responsibility. About 180 Kenyans will be employed and scholarships and capacity building will be done. In the end, we believe that there ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Technology has also changed and obviously some of the issues that I heard Hon. Osotsi talking about like the fibre connectivity has nothing to do with the space station. We already have a national fibre network connected through the sea to the rest of the world. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wanted to respond to some of those misconceptions for the record. I thank the rest of the membership for supporting this. We hope that everyone will vote in Agreement so that we can close one chapter as we go home today with a new agreement ratified so that the people of Ngomeni and Kenyans can realise the full benefits of this Agreement. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: With those words, I beg to reply. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: 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
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support that this House considers the amendment from the Senate. It is a custom that any Bill affecting counties would have to be sent to the Senate. It is within their prerogative to prefer any amendment that they would want to bring. When they bring it to us, we look at it, and if it is reasonable, we accept. If it is unreasonable, we go for mediation. From the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and our own interpretation, there was only one issue I had, that ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Sessional Paper, although coming 10 years after the passage of the Constitution. At least, it has helped in aligning the current thinking in the Ministry with the provisions of the 2010 Constitution. I want to congratulate the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare because this Sessional Paper was developed in 2019. It has been lying awaiting processing in the Committee. But, at least, now it has left the Committee and was tabled here just a couple of days ago. In the HBC, we realised sessional ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: provide for the family. Even the children will tell you about how useless their fathers are. You never hear anyone saying how useless their mother is partly because of the stereotyping that has also come and the empowerment of women at the expense of men. I am sure these are some of the issues which have been captured in this. So, as we talk about the gender question, it is not just women, but the empowerment of the two genders. So, we will never have that fight between the two. Like the old debates we used to have in primary ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The other thing I wanted to underscore, and I do not know how to bring this to the House is the importance of sessional papers. This is something I noticed in the 9th and 10th Parliament. In the 10th Parliament, I tabled and had sessional papers moved through a guillotine because nobody was interested to see what they contained. Then later on you hear people asking issues and you tell them it is in sessional paper number this. It is only one paper that people keep talking about and I think Hon. (Dr.) Otiende mentioned it today; the Sessional Paper ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Papers on the Table of the House, today, Tuesday, 13th October 2020: The Reports of the Auditor General and Financial Statements in respect of the following institutions for the year ended 30th June 2019, and the certificates therein: (i) The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC); (ii) The Regional Pastoral Livelihood Resilience Projects, IDA Credit No. KE53880 – KE; (iii) The Strengthening Fertilizer Quality and Regulatory Standards in Kenya Project for the State Department for Agricultural Research; (iv) Office of the Registrar of Political Parties; (v) The Ministry of Foreign Affairs; (vi) The Independent ... view
