• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you know Hon. Manson Nyamweya came to the Chamber a little late. As the Leader of the Majority Party has alluded, we are now degenerating this very crucial debate about the independence of this House vis-a-vis interference by other arms of the Government, and he was very clear on whether it is from the Presidency, Executive or Judiciary. Hon. Nyamweya is now belittling this very crucial debate to become a matter of defending his kin in the Judiciary. Look beyond your kin and look at the substance of the issue which was raised by the Chair of the ... view

• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate your consideration of the earlier point of order raised by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. On a related issue, it is unfortunate Hon. Keynan, my Chairman of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) and also a commissioner, has left the Chamber. Sometime last year, Hon. Keynan attempted to bring a Motion for the appointment of an audit firm to audit the Office of the Auditor-General in line with Article 226(4) of the Constitution. That Motion was immediately withdrawn amidst reservations some of us had on that particular day. I ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: What happened last year is that the Commission, which unfortunately you chair, appointed an auditor to audit the Office of the Auditor-General. Despite the reservations, the Constitution does not give that mandate to any other body, not even the Parliamentary Service Commission which has outsiders sitting in it. I think the Parliamentary Service Commission has two or three commissioners who are not Members of the National Assembly. The Constitution specifically gives that mandate to the National Assembly. Since the withdrawal of that Motion, we expected that there would be directions to immediately commence the appointment of an auditor to audit ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg that you give directions that this House immediately commences the process of appointing an auditor to audit the Office of the Attorney-General. view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I am sorry. It is the Auditor-General. It is because I have been reading on the Order Paper a lot of things to do with Bills touching on the Office of the Attorney-General. I had occasion to be a friend of the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Some of the issues that are before that Committee, even regarding the petition that is before the courts, are issues that probably would have been arrested much earlier had there been proper audits being done on the Office of the Auditor-General. The Office of the Auditor-General, as an independent office, has ... view
• 14 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. In my support, I want to point out a few issues that have been of concern to Members of the CIOC. At the outset, let me state that these are not issues to do with devolution. These are issues which relate to the Finance, Trade and Planning Committee. We gave this Committee a very big mandate – a mandate which the Committee is probably unable to execute on its own and cover all the areas it is expected to oversee. The Committee is expected to oversee issues of fiscal ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support what Hon. Chris Wamalwa said. As much as you may not publish the entire list, in this day and age of Mutukus who hack into websites and other systems--- You recall sometime back there was a case of a quack doctor in Kapsabet. There was no way for Kenyans to verify whether that doctor was a registered doctor or a registered clinical officer. Therefore, it will only be fair that we provide for the preparation of a list of clinical officers which should be put on the website but also ... view
