• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was rising on a point of order on the question of relevance. Hon Sankok, as much as he is representing PLWD’s, has completely moved out of the subject of debate this morning. I was actually flipping through the Report to see whether this Dr. Margaret Nyang’ata Nyakang’o is disabled because he is talking about issues to do with disability and celebrating the disabled. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: What is out of order? view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, of course, I am obliged with your guidance. The only problem is that just like when the Member for Igembe North and Chair of National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) was speaking on the provisions of the Act, many of us were not listening and rushed to react to things without listening. Even as I read and made observations as we deliberated on this matter, I sought the indulgence of the Speaker and the House to give us more time to consider this matter comprehensively and report back to the House. It is only that the emotions of ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the appointment of the nominee, Dr. Margaret Nyakang’o. As Members made their contributions, there was somebody who spoke loudly about the issue of relevance. Hon. Chonga is obligated to first read the Report that is before the House. From his contribution, he has stated certain things that are materially out of fact from what is in the Report. For instance, he mentioned that the nominee is 62 years old. I read from the Report that the nominee was born in 1959 therefore, there is no way she can be 62 years ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: There are certain critical issues I would want to speak to in relation to the provisions of Article 228 of the Constitution. It stipulates that the Controller of Budget will every four months submit to each House of Parliament a report on the implementation of the budgets of the national and county governments. The previous holder of this office, Agnes, was not very good at this, and it may not be a problem of the person per-se, but could be an institutional or structural problem within the Office of the Controller of Budget. I, therefore, challenge this nominee, that as ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: On the question of age, and I do not have particular objection to her nomination and I have read that she has impeccable qualifications as a certified public accountant and graduated from the University of Nairobi when I was in Class One, she is quite elderly and may be coming with wisdom. However, we must, as a House and as representatives especially of young people in this country, speak to the question of availing jobs to young people in the country. When we continue nominating people who are past retirement age to occupy public offices, what are we telling millions ... view
• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: With that, I support and urge the new Controller of Budget to take her work seriously and work independently of the National Treasury. She should exercise the authority and powers bestowed on her in line with the statutes and not to allow herself to be controlled by anybody. view
