• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary: (i) State how the contract for the Kisumu Kanyakwar Housing Project Phase II, a Design- Build-Operate-and-Transfer model, was procured and awarded? Give details of the contract period and sum and further clarify how much of the contract sum has been paid so far? (ii) Provide the current status of the project, and the efforts made to complete it? (iii) Explain whether the Ministry or the National Housing Corporation have been involved in any arbitration process with the ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to pick up from where you have stopped in relation to the provisions of issues that would affect us, as Members of Parliament. When Standing Order No.90 talks about pecuniary interest, it is informed by that provision in the Constitution. The provisions in Article 122(3) of the Constitution that the Leader of the Majority Party alluded to say that a Member shall not vote on any matter in which he has a pecuniary interest. The Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. John Mbadi, misled this House by purporting that Hon. Omboko is elected to ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Omboko was elected by the public in his constituency to represent all professions but not just teachers. If we look at the provisions of these Standing Orders to the exclusion of what is provided for in the Constitution, then we will not get it right. Article 122(3) of the Constitution is clear that a Member shall not vote on any question in which he has a pecuniary interest. As you rightly said, the Standing Order goes further to expound that personal interests will include pecuniary interest, proprietary interest, personal relationships and business relationships. When I rose on a point ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: interests in insurance brokerage business in this country. The same thing goes for Members of Parliament who are trade unionists. Hon. Sossion whom the Leader of the Minority party has spoken at length about representing the interest of teachers has a pecuniary interest in matters to do with TSC and teachers unions in this country. Therefore, as much as the Standing Orders allow him as the Leader of the Minority said to speak, if you read it together with Article 122(3) of the Constitution, it bars him from voting on such a matter. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As the Leader of the Majority Party asked, you need to expound to us when one speaks on a matter. For instance, we will debate Hon. Opiyo Wandayi’s Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Bill. The Member for Tiaty, Hon. Kamket, declared an interest during the deliberations because his wife works in IEBC. We declare those interests because it is a matter that is touching on expenditure of public funds by IEBC. For instance, if a person whom a Member is related to is mentioned in a report, will that Member vote on that particular aspect? When I rose on ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We must also look at the moral and ethical aspects of what informs Standing Order No. 90. There is an example that the Leader of the Majority Party has given in relation to a Senator in the United States of America Senate and the one you have given using the example of Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ of a law firm where you served. Then as Members of Parliament, we must be called to another higher moral and ethical standing. We should not allow ourselves to be seen like we are using this House or committees to further our personal or business ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, even as you look at this issue, let us be informed by what is principally provided for in the Constitution and expounded further by the Standing Orders. In my humble submission, I do not think it is right for people to sit in Committees where they are seen to advance interests they have pecuniary interests in. Thank you. view
