• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to seek your guidance on the subject matter of this Motion in terms of its constitutionality. I believe the Standing Orders allow a matter on constitutionality to be raised at any one time. Hon. Speaker, between the time the discussion began in the morning and now, certain facts have emerged that were, perhaps, not clear. This Petition purports to demand of the National Assembly to do things that are not allowed within the provisions of Article 119 of our Constitution. You have emphasised the need for this House and its Committees, to only consider matters within ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: There are some constitutional issues that we want to look at, so that we do not - within our bigger mandate of looking at every Petition - start stepping on the toes of the National Land Commission, county governments and the courts on interpretation. Our own recommendations should not be thrown out as if we have acted in vain. I know the Committee has done a lot of work. They had to do it. However, when you look at the Report, they were guided in terms of what kind of recommendation they have made. Whatever they do will be against ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, I seek your guidance on this matter so that we do not spend a lot of time reviewing it, come up with a conclusion and vote on a Motion that cannot be implemented because the recommendations are not within the powers granted to this House to so determine. That is the guidance that I would like to seek from you. I would have wished to bring it to the House Business Committee before this matter comes back. However, now that the Motion got to the Order Paper of this afternoon before the HBC meeting, you can guide us accordingly. ... view

• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me start with the last comment. We have a very able chair who will be able to interact with the National Treasury in terms of disbursement. It is not fair to blame the National Treasury for the allocation of money to specific constituencies. That comes with the pace of implementation of projects and the proposals that people have submitted. We are in continuous engagement with the National Treasury to ensure that the money is disbursed to the boards for onward transmission to the projects. It does not make sense to deny funds to other ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in addition to the Papers that I laid before this House this afternoon, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We are in the constituencies, so, we know. I want to make two points. First, the allocations to the constituencies have been increasing over time across the board. The amount that goes to the board is a percentage of the total allocation and has also increased over time. The expenses need not increase over time. It is something that the Committee needs to look at so that we do not end up with… Because we are allowed up to 5 per cent, it should not be 5 per cent. It could even be 1 per ... view
