• 5 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to strongly oppose the proposed amendment from a constitutional stand point. Article 116(1) and (2) of the Constitution is very clear on who has the legislative power in this country. At a time when this House is under vehement attack from the Judiciary, we cannot be appropriating our responsibility to the Executive. Giving power to the Cabinet Secretary to decide when a law should come into effect is an old way of legislating. That used to happen before the enactment of the current Constitution when members of the Cabinet used to be Members of ... view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have pronounced yourself on the question of the ruling that you were to give regarding the matter that was raised by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I wanted to seek a further clarification on a matter related to that issue. The Petition that is before this House is the one you are going to rule on, that is, whether the Committee can, indeed, continue to consider that Petition for the removal of the Auditor-General, Mr. Edward Ouko.

He has now gone to the court of public opinion where he clearly knows that the public have no means and ways of verifying anything that he says to the media out there. It is a matter that is disturbing. This morning, I heard the Auditor-General - my good friend and colleague in the profession - Mr. Edward Ouko, and his lawyer purport that they cannot appear before Parliament because they will be in contempt of court. In the same statement, the Auditor-General contended ... view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me not to defend anybody, but to defend myself. It is quite clear from the system of Government that we are in now, without an opposition per se, we cannot purport to say that minority and majority cannot deputise. I am a very able deputy to Hon. Keynan in PIC and, more so, because of my professional background as an accountant and a long-standing auditor in this country. Before I retired from that profession to join politics--- Not retired really. It is true I retired from the profession to get into public service. I was among the ... view
• 16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: with the Auditor-General, are out there and not in this House. Therefore, until the Chairman communicates to the Speaker that he has, indeed, formally moved from his political party to another one--- It would not be fair for the Chairman because there are very many other Members who we have also heard have changed their allegiance from one political party to another, but they are still enjoying the privilege of serving in the same committees. Maybe, what the sponsoring party of Hon. Keynan should do is to commence the same procedure they commenced upon the other Members in terms of ... view
