• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support what Hon. David Ochieng’ has raised. It is indeed true that the Commissioners whom we elected, especially those who sit in the National Assembly, must act in the best interest of Members of the National Assembly. It is true that the office block that we have waited for two terms of Parliament is incomplete. Since I joined this House in 2013, that office block has been under construction. When I chaired the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Commissioners appeared before us every year and promised that by August the following year, the ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: He has also touched on the issue of our staff. You have three very good ladies in front of you who work as the Clerks-at-the-Table. I see Madam Sarah Kioko on this desk. By the time I joined Parliament, I know that she had worked in this House for 15 years. In other jurisdictions like in the United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK), the staff from a certain level—Directors or Deputy Directors—cannot move from one House to the other. For instance, in the USA Congress, if you are a Director in the House of Representatives, you cannot ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Even in the UK, you cannot move from the House of Lords from a certain level to the House of Commons. The House of Lords has its way and mechanisms. This Parliament borrows heavily from those two jurisdictions. We have officers who have worked in the Senate and the National Assembly for the last 10 years. You cannot tell an officer like Madam Sarah Kioko who has the experience of over 25 years in the National Assembly that she stands no opportunity to ever rise to become the Clerk of the National Assembly, because someone will move from the Senate ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: the Clerk to even chiefs, District officers (Dos) and District Commissioners (DCs) out there. We can as well get an established administrator to come and become the Clerk of the National Assembly. Therefore, there are issues that we must address. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: There is the issue of mileage which Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ raised the day before. It is a matter that we, as Members of Parliament who come from Nairobi City County and the environs, have tried to address for two terms and even before that. Because some of the Commissioners who have become so dynastic in the Commission benefit personally from the terms that they get under the mileage, they do not consider the Members of Parliament who elect them to go and represent them. What Hon. David Ochieng’ has said is shocking. It is indeed true that those of us ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I support the request by Hon. David Ochieng’. Before things get out of hand, let us have a view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: immediately we resume business, so that we put these Commissioners under your Chairmanship. Then they will be accountable to the people who elected them. As Hon. David Ochieng’ rightly said, it is a constitutional Commission like any other that should be reporting to this House what they are doing in terms of their mandate. view

• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No. 124 in relation to Business listed on the Order Paper as Order No. 9, which we have just concluded; and Order No. 10 (ii). We have just finished with the Second Reading of the Huduma Bill. view
