• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: If there are requests from anybody to suspend this Bill, which has been pending and we have discussed at the HBC, it is important that you allow debate to go on. Let Members who wish to oppose it, oppose it and those who want to support it, support it. Most importantly, if there are any amendments that can be introduced by the Committee, they can be brought at the Committee of the whole House stage. This will allow Members in the House to decide. This is not a final stage of this Bill. It is a process that is on-going. ... view

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to also contribute on this Report by the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade on the Vetting of Nominee for Appointment as Chairperson of CRA.

Recently, Members of County Assembly (MCAs) and the Speaker of Trans Nzoia County were arrested. Those who took off are being sought. Even the Speaker has not been traced.

I am told the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is now at the County Assembly of Bungoma investigating the MCAs and the Speaker. The Speaker is said to have stolen a lot of money from the Assembly which is being investigated by ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the proposed amendment. I do agree that this also provides a window in the event that the Authority is stuck so as to ensure that the value and the desired goals and objectives are attained.

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I would like the Vice- Chair to clarify the use of these words “Committee” and “Parliament”. Ordinarily, when reference is made to Committee--- A Committee is a Committee of this House and if you are making reference to a Committee of this House, then the plenary of this House usually has a final say on the Committee work. The Committee presents work to this House. view

• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have two things. First, on Part (a), I support the proposed amendment. For Parliament to execute its mandate on revenue allocation, accurate information is necessary. Therefore, I do agree with the proposed reporting.
