• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Mobitelea surfaced. In the privatization of Telkom Kenya, you find a Mobitelea in the name of Alcazar. We have recommended legislative matters that this House needs to be seized of. One of them is an amendment to the Companies Act that will require that all shareholders and directors of publicly-owned companies and private companies doing business with the Government or involved in privatization be known. This will ensure that we run away from the scenario in which people just register offshore companies, hide behind the corporate veil and we never get to know who owns them. Those companies are basically ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support the extension of time considering that the issue that is before the Committee is a very weighty. Issues to do with corruption in this country are very weighty. If this Committee as the Chair has requested is to do meaningful work and allow even the deliberations that have gone on before the Committee to have the contribution of further Members of Parliament---. There are many people who, because of the short recess that we had, never had an opportunity to share with our fellow Members in this Committee. I would beg that we support that Motion ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank my brother hon. Ngeno for surrendering his chance to me. I will be very brief because I have noted that most of what I would have said was adequately covered by the Whip of the Majority Party, hon. Katoo. It is important to say that with the new Constitution we also need a new way of doing things in this country. One of the areas in which we need a new way of doing things is in the running of non-government entities and parastatals in this country. I have seen a ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: would follow. This Bill creates such provisions in instances where if I do not get justice from an administrator who is above me, then I have recourse through the courts of law; High Court, is a very good thing. It will not only protect civil servants but also the public. This Bill also speaks about instances where administrators will affect the people. It says that there also must be people participation in the process of fair administrative process. It is a great thing. It gives the people of this country back the power that belongs to them as bestowed by ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to rise on a point of order because hon. Omulele in his amendment is seeking to, in a way, mislead the House. This is because if you read through the hon. Speaker’s Communication when this matter was being given to Powers and Privileges Committee, you will see that the Committee was to inquire as to whether any of the members of Public Accounts Committee had breached the House’s powers and privileges. What hon. Omulele is telling the House now is that none of the Members who have been named in that Report and ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. While I thank the hon. M’eruaki for that Petition, I wanted to draw your attention to the fact that there is already a Bill that I was prosecuting in this House, in the last Session last year. That is the Alcoholic Drinks Control (Amendment) Bill of 2013 which is largely addressing the same issues, especially to do with farmers growing sorghum and millet. Indeed, many of the people who had also petitioned us were traders in sorghum and millet. They were basically traders who are buying sorghum from the areas in Meru and Tharaka-Nithi. I have ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. Is hon. Joyce in order to cast aspersions on the hon. Members of this House, who are of the male gender? The Bill talks about hotel guests and not male hotel guests. It is a fact of life that even women in this country and all over the world also check into guest houses and hotels. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the amendment that I have proposed reads “Clause 5” on the Order Paper, but since the Bill does not have Clause 5 that was a typo error. It is on Clause 4. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. That is what I am correcting, that on the Order Paper it reads “Clause 5” but that should have been Clause 4. So, I am moving an amendment on Clause 4. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Exactly, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move the amendment:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by renumbering the proposed provision as subsection (1) and inserting a new subsection (2) as follows- (2) Notwithstanding the provision of any other law, the Cabinet Secretary responsible for the National Treasury shall grant remission of excise duty at ninety per centum with respect to beer made from sorghum, millet or cassava grown in Kenya, if that licensed manufacturer- (a) manufactures beer that has at least seventy five per centum content of sorghum, millet, or cassava, excluding sugar; and, (b) packs ... view
