• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would want to know if there are any Members who are not Members of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security that had written to the Committee asking to be allowed to attend the sittings of that Committee during this particular matter under Standing Order 195. If so, who are those Members? 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
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, as I said, since the business of this House takes priority, today is a Special Sitting Day. It may be too late because it is now 12.30 p.m. However, I would request you to consider suspending the matter that is under consideration by the Committee so that Members can focus on the issues that the Leader of the Majority Party called the House to address during this Special Sitting. Hon. Speaker, also consider directing the Committee to prioritise matters pending before it. I particularly mentioned a Statement I had sought and a Question I had filed. There are also ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: More importantly, if the Committee is not enquiring into a matter that has been referred to it by this House, automatically, it means there is no Report that will be brought to this House for us to interrogate the issues being discussed in that Committee. That is the tragedy I saw with the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, where people go on a fishing expedition to the extent of saying very disparaging things against a Head of State of a friendly nation. The President of the Republic of Uganda had twitted that a Ugandan company got assistance from ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Gladys Wanga, being the Chair of that Committee, may be very averse to fishing expeditions. However, on finance matters, it is possible for Equity Bank, Uganda, to organise syndicated loans to an individual or an organisation in Uganda to the tune of Ushs15 billion but it may not be possible, even with the capitalisation of Equity Bank, Uganda, to lend money as an institution. When the Chairman uses the media, in that particular sitting, to ask how Equity Bank is lending Ksh15 billion to Ugandans and not Kenyans... People need to get the information that, indeed, even in Kenya, ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you may advice the Members shouting that I am on a point of order. I know the Member for Gem is new in this House, but it may have taken him a bit longer to learn that when one is on a point of order, you allow them to finish their point of order, then you will be at liberty to raise the issues that they will be raising. I, therefore, want to beg that you give us direction on the following: one, whether we should be using our committee to go on fishing expeditions. Two, how do ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Lastly, allow me to ask those in the Executive not to use this House or committees of this House to sanitise and cleanse their deeds or misdeeds in Government. If you want to offer information on the Speaker, I think you should bring a petition, a Motion, a Question or a Request for a Statement before this House and we will then be able to inquire on things relating to anyone. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, I am being directed by the Leader of Majority Party emeritus to apologise profusely for coming late. I was in the bank when you called me for the first time, therefore, my apologies to the House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding issuance of visas to Kenyans wishing to travel to the People’s Republic of China. It is more than a year since many countries closed their borders to foreign visitors following the COVID-19 outbreak and thereafter issued new entry requirements and policies. In addition, various countries continued to revise their COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control measures from time to time including the rules modulating how foreign visitors enter their countries and under what circumstances. ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: (Kikuyu, JP) ( Off-record). view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your indulgence for two reasons. One, the Chair of the Committee is the one moving the Motion, not the respective Members. Two, if you remember, post-2015, after the amendment of the NG-CDF Act, Members of Parliament ceased being patrons of the CDF committees in their respective constituencies. I see a danger if as a House, we now start resolving that we cannot transact business to do with membership of a CDF committee because the Member representing that constituency is not in the House. Reason is simple: By the time these names arrive on this Floor, they ... view
