• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 28, this House approves the Calendar of the National Assembly (Regular Sessions) for the Sixth Session (2022) as contained in the Schedule. Hon. Speaker, Members will know that the Constitution changed the way Parliament sits. Previously, Parliament used to sit, go on breaks, get promulgated and get dissolved at the whims of the Executive. We agitated for independence. I wish Members could get off their phones. I am getting distracted. Hon. Speaker, I need your protection. The Constitution gave Parliament independence to set ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: those things without being required to be in the House. It means you are officially on leave. If you do not do that, then you will be expected here today until the last day of the election. Otherwise, you will in breach of the Constitution. That is important to underscore apart from the fact that there will be no break. Again, it is a straight forward matter and I expect that those who wanted to ventilate, having done so, the judge of all these things will be Kenyans. We are here to vote and deliberate on matters of concern to ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 97(4), this House orders that, the debate on any Motion for the Sine Die Adjournment of the House in accordance with the Calendar of the House, shall be limited as follows: A maximum of four (4) hours for the entire motion, with not more than five (5) minutes for each Member speaking, except the Mover, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, who shall be limited to a maximum of fifteen (15) minutes each; ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: The House Business Committee deliberated and allocated four hours to that Motion and for each Member to speak for five minutes. After that, we will walk out, shake hands and hope to meet again in the next Session. I know the Speaker mentioned that the attrition rate is rather high. I hope that, perhaps, with this Motion, we could limit that attrition rate from the historical 70 per cent to something more palatable like the 50 per cent that was mentioned earlier. Hopefully, it will progress to better in future. I beg to move and request Hon. Sara Korere to ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bills No.32 of 2021), be now read a Second Time. The principle objective of this Bill is to amend the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act of 2015 to address certain challenges faced by procuring entities in the implementation of the Act, and especially with regard to awarding of contracts. These are issues that have come up, lessons learnt from petitions that have been taken to the Disputes Tribunal, issues that have come from the courts and petitions to the various committees. As ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: definition of who is a local contractor into the Act, which basically paves way for inclusion of categories such as sole proprietorships, which are now defined as contractors, partnerships, corporate societies, individual consultants, associations and groups that are registered in Kenya. This basically gives more opportunities and prudence to access public procurement opportunities to as many citizens as possible who can now apply to offer those services or supply goods to their Governments and agencies. The Bill also introduces the idea of training of non-procurement professionals who, incidentally, are involved in procurement processes such as the user departments, disposal and ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: , (Kipipiri JP): Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move the following procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Orders Nos. 41 and 42 relating to conveying of Messages from the Senate and from the President of the National Executive, Standing Orders Nos.120, 122 and 126 relating to Publication, Procedure upon Publication and First Reading of Bills and Standing Order No.210 (2) relating to Tabling of Statutory Instruments, this House orders that during the Short and Long Recesses of the Sixth Session: (i) upon any receipt of any Message from the Senate or upon receipt of any name of view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: a person nominated for appointment to a state or public office from the view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: on Finance and Planning has looked at this Bill and gave us its Report, which is in total concurrence. I expect that Committee members will be speaking to this Report at some point when they are ready to share with us on the experiences on what they did in view of this Bill. I want to just summarise and conclude by saying that the overarching objective of the Bill is to change the public procurement and asset disposal to the attainment of the very objectives of public processes that have been articulated by the World Bank between the Organisation for ... view
• 2 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: President or any other office in the National Executive, the Speaker shall view
