• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Since then, I have not been invited to the Committee. They have not responded to the request for Statement and the matter that I was asking still persists. My second point of order was in relation to business which in my thinking was not properly before this House, today being a day for Government sponsored Bills and Motions. I thought the Motion appearing under No. 10 is a party sponsored Motion. The mainstream ODM party seems not to be in the House and they are the mainstream minority party, after the breakup, dissolution and subsequent divorce of the NASA parties. ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: That is why I wanted your guidance without anticipating debate. I was just asking for your guidance whether now in the absence of the Minority Party we would consider to drop this Motion. The mainstream ODM as you have been told is not in the House today. view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am rising on a point of order in relation to what Hon. Kolosh has said that he used to wonder before he became a Member of Parliament. Since becoming a Member of Parliament, he has since discovered that there are Members in this House who represent other interests other than those of the people they represent, people who follow orders from the Executive. Maybe it will be beneficial to Kenyans to name those Members who represent other interest other than those of the people who elected them or those who are directed by the Executive. ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Kolosh to generally say that many Members of Parliament do so. He should either substantiate or withdraw that statement. view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill, but with a few reservations. One of the things that I am usually sceptical about is when the Government has an overbearing hand and we use legislation to overbear on the people. Clause 11 of the Bill envisages to make it compulsory that a person who has attained the age of 18 years and is not a beneficiary shall register as a member of the Fund. Clause 11(2) says that the minister may, in consultation with the board, make regulations for the better carrying out of sub-section (1). ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: we have not provided jobs for. Therefore, before we make it mandatory for people to join the Fund, it must be mandatory first for the Government to ensure that those people are in gainful employment where they earn a living and an income to contribute to the Fund. Two, Clause 24 is the other provision about which I have serious reservations. In the Nyayo days, in the old dark days of the KANU regime, State corporations used to be exempted from the provisions of the State Corporations Act and used as avenues to loot public coffers. I am afraid that ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you listened to me clearly, I was using it as an example of attempts by the Executive to use exemptions in the State Corporations Act like was done in the old KANU days. Probably, if you were being tutored by the KANU regime, that is why you see this inclination. I was speaking to Clause 24 which proposes to amend Section 34 of the Act to mandate the NHIF Board to invest in the procurement and acquisition of essential medical equipment and supportive infrastructure to empanel concerted healthcare providers. People who are empanelled or contracted ... view
• 12 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me from the Member for Garissa Township. Probably he runs a hospital in Garissa or somewhere. I am not saying he is one of the tenderpreneurs. I know him. He was not involved either in the MES scandal or the KEMSA COVID-19 billionaires scandal. I was speaking about those who were involved. We are also in a state where State capture is so real. I must be a cautious Member of Parliament. When I see attempts to give such powers to the NHIF Board, I must treat it with caution. When we ... view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on behalf of the people of Kiambaa and the entire hustler nation in the Republic of Kenya, I have the honour to introduce to you the Member of Parliament-Elect for Kiambaa Constituency in Kiambu County, Hon. John Njuguna Wanjiku. view
• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition by Hon. Isaac Njoroge and Ms. Mary Njoki on behalf of their children, Mary Wanjiru and Boniface Muriithi. The issues that the petitioners have raised in the Petition are not just weighty issues relating to the education of our children, but are very critical especially this time when we are confronted with a period where the curriculum of the candidates who will sit their KCPE and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exams this year, that was to be covered in two years, will be covered in about one -and-a-half ... view
