• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I hear the Member for Changamwe saying “ machungwa and ODM” and he knows clearly that I have no relationship with that party. It is Ichung’wah. There is “ng’wah”, not “ngwa”. Let me rise to support this Bill by the Member for Ruiru, Hon. Simon King’ara. It is a very important Bill as the Mover has said and has also been said by the Seconder and Hon. Oundo, who has also spoken to it. Public land ideally ought to be vested in the hands of either… it is the last point the Chair of ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: because if people want to take public land, they will be able establish that this is public land through a normal search. In Makueni, where you come from, you will remember what happened during the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) - a lot of land was acquired. The Kenya Railways Corporation already had land along the existing corridor from Mombasa to Nairobi but we spent billions to acquire new land from land owners. You will be shocked that this land is yet to be vested to the Kenya Railways Corporation or the Principal Secretary, National Treasury, and therefore, ... view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: As I conclude, as land is sub-divided and you must expand roads, those roads that were six meters ought to be expanded by 1.5 meters on either side to create a nine-meter corridor. That is not happening and I want to ask the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Lands to ensure that it is done as we move to the Third Reading. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was keenly listening to both the Chairman and the issues that have been raised by Hon. T.J. Kajwang’. I want to agree with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ on one aspect and disagree on another aspect. The aspect I want to agree with him on, which you touched on, is the question of us seemingly directing institutions that are independent, like the EACC, and where we ask them to report back to the House. I request the Chairman to amend that aspect, or if the other two Hon. Members who have amendments could alter that recommendation, to ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Parliament under the able Chairmanship of Hon. Adan Keynan. We had started looking at some of the issues that have been raised in the Committee’s Report, but the term of the last Parliament came to an end before we finalised. There were issues to do with fraud and forgery by the companies that have been named. Therefore, we must ask ourselves: If we are saying that we investigate and recommend to the DPP for action, if in the same circumstances somebody has been found to have flouted the Public Procurement and Disposal Act in terms of even forging documents and ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in the course of the proceedings of the court case, should Parliament enact either regulations or legislations that stipulate how I should be punished, I feel that action should be taken. I support some of those recommendations. I also disagree with Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ in the argument that he advanced. He said that since the Regulations had not been published at that time, there was a mechanism still… We have all done this in our quarters. When we were patrons of the NG-CDF committees, there were people who breached the procurement laws. We blacklisted them. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The Committee is simply saying that anybody who flouts the law and engages in forgery and fraud should be debarred from conducting business with the Government of Kenya. The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are very keen on what we do. I saw an article today that said that they debarred a Kenyan company in the Information Communications Technology (ICT) sector. They have done that. We have had issues with that. Hon. Keynan can tell you that when we were in the Public Investments Committee, we had companies that had been debarred by the World Bank and ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support the Committee’s recommendations. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the National Disaster Management Authority Bill, 2019 be read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Members, this Bill principally seeks to create a coordinated or a centralised way in which as a country we can deal with and manage disasters in the country. As you are aware, we have had several disasters ranging from flooding to fires in our urban centers and parts of our rural areas, including areas like Tsavo, as we have seen in the recent past a lot of pasture going into waste for both wildlife ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: What instigated the thinking behind this Bill was Garissa terrorist attack which happened about two to three years ago. In consultations with a few friends of mine in the medical profession, I realised that we had an uncoordinated manner on how we manage disasters in this country. At that time, we lost about 144 students of Garissa University. Their bodies had to be transported from Garissa to Nairobi. Relatives were going to identify the bodies at Chiromo Mortuary. Those who survived the terrorist attack had to be brought to Nyayo Stadium. I had engagement with a medical doctor who was ... view
