• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this chance. Allow me to thank the people of Ndhiwa for giving me a chance to serve in the 11th Parliament. I appreciate them because I have been elected twice. I am looking forward to them to give me a third chance in the 2017 elections because of how far we have come. Permit me to thank the staff of Parliament who are sitting particularly at the clerkship table. Allow me to thank Mr. Sialai and Mr. Njoroge, who has taken me through various draft legislations. I would also like to thank Wanjiru Ndindiri who ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me thank you first in person for the friendship that you have accorded me, the support and the various opportunities that we have had to exchange. In this Parliament, I made several friendships across the board. I made friends in the Parliamentary Caucus on Human Rights. This is the group of people who became my family and people with whom I had a good chance. When we were coming to this Parliament, I set upon myself a chance to travel to all the 290 constituencies. I did not make it. I did 102. I made several friends ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I think this is a very good inclusion and an important improvement on the current Standing Orders. I can see that there is a provision for the Member who is going to be suspended to be heard. However, it is not very clear who hears that particular member, whether it is the Speaker or the parliamentary party that nominated the particular member. If it is a parliamentary party, then that also already creates a rut within it because if it is the party that is discharging me and they have already made a decision, then ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I think this is an important amendment and it is a very good inclusion. My only worry is that however good it is, given that the members of the various parliamentary committee are going to be fairly new and not knowing each other’s competencies--- If, for example, you are two or three days old, I am wondering how The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: the process is going to be effected so that, at least, you know you are voting for Hon. Gikaria or Hon. Neto to be the chair of a committee and yet, they are people you might not have had an engagement with. I really think it is a good provision. I am just wondering about the efficacy of this provision. view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon Deputy Chairman. This is a very good amendment. It is going to subject Chairpersons and Vice-Chairpersons to due process as opposed to them just hearing word in the corridors that a vote of no confidence is being passed. It is a good improvement on how committees deal with the Chairpersons and the overall leadership. I support. view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Committee’s amendment. Given the nature of the Public Accounts Committee - and we have seen what happens with every successive Public Accounts Committee - we are not trying to say that all of us are beyond reproach. It is only fair that in every particular Session, we give the Public Accounts Committee a fresh start. It will be very dangerous to have a Public Accounts Committee sit for the entire term of Parliament. That will be precarious and the most dangerous thing you can ever do to any Parliament. ... view

• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Chairman, Hon. Millie Odhiambo is my elder sister both by birth and in the House. In the next Parliament, I will be an independent and she will be in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM). So, we are trying to work out an arrangement of how we are going to relate. Having said that, this amendment is important. Clause 7 of this amendment is important. Consideration of a petition under this Standing Order shall not lapse at the expiry of a term of Parliament. What this does is that a member of an independent commission--- If there was a ... view
