• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The other thing the President spoke about and which spoke to me at heart is the need for this august House to protect and defend the Constitution as we swore here when we took our oath of office. On that, I want to quote what the President said: “History places a profound responsibility on Members of this House to protect this Constitution and promote the democratic governance of the Republic.” He also spoke of the separation of powers of the three arms of Government being a critical constitutional principle in protecting the liberty of our people. That spoke to me ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: If we are charged with the responsibility of protecting the liberty of our people that is also vested in what the President spoke about on the sanctity of the ballot, that is, the paper that the Kenyan voter goes out to mark to express his sovereign will as to who he wants to govern this country. Indeed, it is out of the sanctity of that ballot that every Member who is in this House is able to stand and speak on account of the powers that are given to us by the people of this great country. view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The President went out to affirm that in as much as we respect the functional independence of the three arms of Government, we must work together.

That is the functional independence the President is asking us and the country to respect. He is ... view
• 13 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: The other thing that was in that speech is what has been said. As much as we respect one another’s functional independence each of the arms of Government and more so the independent constitutional commissions… Anybody who holds office in any of the arms of Government must be firm to make sure that nobody, whether foreign powers or foreign agencies, or evil and civil societies inside or outside this country are controlling us in any way. I have no fear of contradiction to say from this House that one of these arms of Government, especially the Judiciary, has a case ... view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do second. Probably, if we make it to the 12th Parliament, I will pursue the further amendment on, particularly, tax on the consumers of those products in betting and all those other things in terms of withholding tax to ensure that we discourage the vice, especially the consumers other than taxing heavily the investors in this industry. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Presidential Memorandum to the Finance Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 16 of 2017) and approved the same without amendment. view
• 31 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was consulting with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Article 94 of the Constitution on the role of Parliament vests the legislative authority with Parliament in this republic. Indeed, Section 5 of the article states that no person or body, other than Parliament, has the power to make provision having the force of law in Kenya except under authority conferred by this Constitution or by legislation. This conferring of authority is generally through delegated legislation, namely, regulations, orders, legal notices, et cetera . To this end and in line ... view
