• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I think we need to balance between all these things. The intentions are good, to make sure that people can retire at a certain age, but we cannot legislate here on things that will be deemed to be unconstitutional because you will now discriminate a person on account of their age, that because you are now 60, you must retire. This goes against the Constitution. We did not have those provisions within the Constitution, except for people working in a certain service. It is a blanket thing, nobody is discriminated on account of their gender, race or age. It does ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Once we harmonies that, then we will be good to go in terms of achieving the objective of this Bill. With those few remarks I support the effort, but we need to look at those provisos. view

• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I join my fellow colleagues in condemning this unscientific research that is being peddled around. As you were calling me, I was trying to go through my phone to find a message that they sent me saying that they would like to discuss the results and how to make them better. I told them that was totally unethical. I have been a researcher. I value scholarly work. When a researcher calls the subject of the research to discuss the research findings, he or she is influencing the results of the research. It, therefore, stops being research and becomes ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Report of the Committee on Implementation on the status of the various legislations, Motions, Petitions and Resolutions. I am happy that at last we can slot them in because we were being bashed that they were not working. However, we were probably guilty as a House Business Committee that we are giving you the time, but now at least, we have updated Members. The sad thing is that the Members being updated are not here. Tomorrow they will be asking us the same things about the status of their Bills. I ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: committee should perhaps act as a quality control committee and look at the recommendations coming to the Floor of the House and decide if they are going to be implementable. So, bring in an amendment to ensure that we do not have the Committee doing a lot of work for something that is not implementable or alternatively, giving hope to Kenyans that the House has passed and the following shall be done, knowing too well that it is not implementable. Perhaps we should work as one House and have the COI not just wait to report on the implementability or ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 30(3)(b), this House resolves to hold another sitting today, Thursday 24th September, 2020 after the 10.00 a.m. sitting. As Members could be aware, we have waited for a long time to get a resolution on how funds will be disbursed to the counties. It has been a protracted issue. Eventually, the Senate agreed on some basis. That will be presented and its notice has been given. We want this House to demonstrate to the Kenyan people that we care for counties and lives out there, ... view
