• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. view
• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would agree. Just to go on record because I was part of the Mediation Committee, what the Leader of the Majority Party said and tabled is exactly what we agreed, but there is something that the nation needs to know. The mischief the Senate wanted to do by changing the effective date has a major impact on when the counties will get the revenue. They pleaded with us in terms of fast-tracking the Bill so that we can get the County Allocation of Revenue Act which they said they will look at in Kitui. If we are ... view

• 12 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we deliberated on whether this Bill should be on the Order Paper. The Report is yet to be tabled. We had indicated that we would like it to be stepped down. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am glad the Leader of the Majority Party has raised this matter because it has been disturbing me. When did we get this practice of a Division of Revenue Bill being introduced in the Senate and a parallel Bill being introduced in the National Assembly, so that we have two Bills running concurrently and then they swap? We are not even sure which one takes precedence over the other. In checking with colleagues, it appears that there was this misunderstanding in the reading of Article 218. For the benefit of the House, Article 218 says that, at ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: licensing of dogs in Nairobi or even bring a petition here, you will be the first one to tell me that the matter belongs to the Senate. That is where it is supposed to be discussed. Similarly, if my colleague, Senator from Nyandarua, was to introduce a Bill in Senate considering the running of universities, the Senate Speaker should be able to tell him that the matter is overseen by the National Assembly and he cannot introduce it there. If we do not have that functioning, we end up with a mix. That is why you end up with all ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: So, I want you to look at all those and help us bring this matter to an end. I would also wish to ask or urge you to consult with your colleague, the Speaker of the Senate. That is so that we have an amicable understating that, from now on, the limit of the Senate ends here and that of the National Assembly ends here. Then, we will not be seen as the ones who are holding the country to ransom. I am very glad that the courts can see the danger that the Senate and the governors want to ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Let me not belabour the point but ask that you help us in making a determination on whether this Bill or any other in future can originate from the Senate and, if it does, whether it should be considered by this House. With those remarks, I beg to support the Leader of Majority Party’s point of order. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill that seeks to align the existing Bill to the current reality not just in terms of constitutional matters but also with regard to what is actually happening now within the world of statistics and data collection. I wish to support what you and Dr. Makali have amplified, that is, evidence-based decision-making. If we want to make a proper decision, we need to obviously have the right data available to us. That way, we can make a decision based on evidence rather than throwing your finger in the air ... view
