• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: I do not want to belabour the point. We also note that some Members have asked to be removed and be reallocated their committee of choice. I see Hon. Baya wanting that attention to be highlighted. This is really a straightforward matter. It received unanimous support in the Committee on Selection. We, therefore, do not need to debate this. I beg to move and ask the Leader of the Minority Party to second. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Members, we need to move the Motion first. view

• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: At the outset, I wish to commend the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) for appointing our Clerk, Mr. Sialai, for a one-year contract upon retirement. Indeed, this move is geared to ensure that we have a smooth transition not only in that office, but also as we come to the tail end of this Parliament next year. In light of some of the issues we are discussing in this House, including the Constitution amendment that will occasion a whole re-organisation of this House and Standing Orders, you need a steady hand who has gone through similar things in the past and ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: For Members who do not know Mr. Sialai apart from seeing him here, he has a long and decorated career in the public service where he joined in 1989 when some of the Members were in early childhood. He started his job as a teacher of History and Kiswahili at Kimoloo Secondary School. He later became an assistant lecturer at Kericho Teachers College until 1995 when he joined this Parliament as a Clerk Assistant. He has risen through the ranks to be the Clerk of the National Assembly. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Like I said, we are at a very important phase in this Parliament. Potentially, with the passage of the BBI, this Parliament will change from the way we know it to the commonwealth or high breed system. It will require a number of legislations to be passed and re-organisation of our Standing Orders. We need Mr. Sialai’s expertise which can come in very handy to occasion this re-organisation. Most of the employment contracts in the public sector have some inbuilt terms that end with the possibility of an extension for a standard person. Usually, you have to subject this to ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Members are aware of the several civil servants who are serving on contract currently. The most notable is Mr. Joseph Kinyua who was my Principal Secretary in the National Treasury who has done a splendid job. He is past the retirement age. Because of his experience and the way he handles State matters, His Excellency the President, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, has kept him up to this point. There is no indication as when he will be let go as much as he wanted to retire five years ago. He has the kind of expertise that you feel that you need ... view
