• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking you for bringing sanity back to the House and guiding this Session. I thank the Members who have been contributing to this. It is one of the most enjoyable sessions we have had with no shouting. Everyone is just focused. I think that is the future of this House. I thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, not just for the contribution he has given today, but for the work he has put and his team on this Bill. Hon. Sankok usually leaves about ... view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Once again, I believe there was total concurrence. I encourage Members that, if anyone feels there is something that has been left out in addition to the proposal on amendments that will be coming from the Departmental Committee on Energy, it will be good to have issues brought up so that we fast-track this Bill and have it into law. Let it go to the Senate and the 12th Parliament may well be the one that has helped in mitigation measures on disaster management. With those remarks, I request that you defer putting the Question pursuant to Standing Order No. ... view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Coffee Bill (Senate Bill No. 22 of 2020) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following papers on the Table of the House: 2022/2023 Annex of Estimates of Revenue and Expenditure for State Corporations of the Government of Kenya for the Financial year ending 30th June 2023 from the National Treasury. Legal Notice No.20 of 2022 relating to the Engineers (Scale of Fees for Professional Engineering Services) Rules, 2022 and the Explanatory Memorandum from the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works. Reports of the Auditor-General and Financial Statements in respect of the following Institutions for the year ended 31st December 2021 and the certificates ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, Hon. Duale requested for a Statement and the Vice-Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Energy undertook to bring all the information required by today. I had a discussion with the Chairman of the Committee just before we got into the House, because I was following up on the same matter. He indicated that they are still waiting for information from the Ministry regarding the comprehensive matters that were raised. He said he would receive the information by tomorrow, and they would then need to process it, as a Committee, before he can bring a report ... view
• 12 Apr 2022 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
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will try to prevail upon the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Energy to fast-track the matter and bring a response tomorrow afternoon, if it is possible. But I am also aware that part of the problem we have is because of speculative hoarding of fuel by traders expecting a price change on Thursday, when new prices will be announced. Without speculating, I can tell those who are hoarding fuel that they will get a big surprise. They better release the fuel. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 120, this House resolves to reduce the publication period of the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No.22 of 2022) from 14 days to four days. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The essence of this reduction is to facilitate the First Reading of the Finance Bill so that it can be committed to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, so that they can start the work of considering it while we are on recess. view
• 12 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: We have done this before. We started this tradition of having a publication period of 14 days, which in the old days was meant to facilitate public participation before the Bill is read the First Time. We have since introduced public participation as an integral part of the review of the Bill in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, which is also taking 14 days after the First Reading. The first 14 day-period that had been foreseen in the old days is redundant. I am hoping that that is one of the things we will be changing as we review the ... view
