• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Besides what the Leader of the Majority Party has spoken about providing the Kshs9.2 billion for the IEBC, it is not just for the sake of providing money to the IEBC. We have said that the IEBC is an independent constitutional commission and one of the things that guarantees that independence is this House allocating adequate resources for it to carry out its mandate without necessarily having to depend on funds from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and those others who purport to be financing the IEBC for ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: no better way to invest in education than dedicating adequate resources to ensure that all our children access both primary and secondary education. With the advent of technical training institutes across many of our constituencies, we will have a very well-skilled labour force in this country that will take up the numerous opportunities that will come about. Our manifesto also spoke about the establishment of industries in each county. For us to provide labour to the industries that will be set up in each county, we must train the right skills in our constituencies. The allocation of money towards the ... view

• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion for Adjournment to discuss this matter of urgent national importance. When the Leader of the Majority Party was moving it, he alluded to the fact that there are those who are seeking to establish a Government other than the way it is stipulated in our Constitution. I wish to draw the attention of the House to Article 3 of our Constitution which states: “Every person has an obligation to respect, uphold and defend the Constitution”. That is what we seek to do today thorough this ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: an opportunity to get into Government. We must also make it clear that unlike those days, we cannot establish a government in any way other than that provided for in the Constitution. Such a move is prohibited under Article 3(2) of the Constitution. Therefore, we must as a House stand firm to uphold the Constitution. Let us ensure that the sanctity of the ballot and the vote-count following the end of the voting exercise, counts at the end of the day. I also take this opportunity to ask the House that should the time come when we will need to ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. Thank you. I rise under Standing Order No. 258 as read together with Standing Order No. 260. It is on a related matter to what Hon. Duale has raised on failure to attend sittings. As read together with Article 103(1)(b) and if you allow me to read the Constitution without just going to the Standing Orders, it says: “The office of a Member of Parliament becomes vacant – 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
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: if, during any session of Parliament, the member is absent from eight sittings of the relevant House without permission, in writing, from the Speaker, and is unable to offer a satisfactory explanation for the absence to the relevant committee.” The committee that the Constitution refers to is the Committee that you chair. It is the powers and privileges of Members of the House. The issue I am raising is related to what the Leader of the Majority Party raised because what we are seeing happened here with Hon. John Mbadi, Hon. Wanga, Hon. Simba Arati, Millie Odhiambo and many other ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: by members of a party or a coalition. It is attendance by an individual Member. Responsibility in matters to do with attendance and compliance with the Constitution and all Standing Orders must be taken to the individual Member. I would also beg that you direct the Office of the Clerk to make sure that they make public the attendance of all the Members who have attended these four sittings. This should include this one so that those who are out there, including those who are competing with our colleagues in our constituencies... They might have forgotten there is a court ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon Speaker. Let me also take this opportunity to first profoundly thank the great people of Kikuyu who in their wisdom and out of the favour of the Almighty God saw it fit to allow me to serve as the first unopposed Member of Parliament in this 12th Parliament. My very hearty and profound thanks go to the people of Kikuyu and, of course, to the Almighty God for that great favour that I saw. view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I want to speak briefly on just two issues. One is the need for peace and security in this country that the President spoke about at length. I take this opportunity to thank him for having taken the opportunity as he addressed this House yesterday to speak on peace and security in this country. Beyond everything else, that is one of the most cardinal responsibilities he has as a President: to protect life and property of Kenyans. I am sure Kenyans and the world at large know today that this country is in very safe hands, those of President Uhuru ... view
