• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like Hon. Members to know that we are treading on a very dangerous ground by putting the annex between this good Bill with poverty facing some of the Members who were here. We are abusing the public direct. Let us use this Bill to directly address the constitutional aspects that were missing. Let us not discuss issues of poverty in relation to this Bill. We are creating a war between this House, the Senate and members of the public. Members of the public are listening to us. view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: We need to create an environment where social and health aspects are catered for in institutions that will even cater for Members of Parliament.

Three quarters of us do not retire from politics. We are just defeated in elections. Three quarters of MPs here go to an election to contest with intention of wining, but the mood out there becomes ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: We need to have structures where, and we do not need to impoverish MPs. One of the things that impoverish MPs is funeral contribution. An MP becomes a mobile bank in the village. Why can we not have a benevolent fund created by the Government to sort out that mess? Why can we not have a fund? It is not a theory.

You can either serve for free or get benefits from that. However, what we are trying to do is to cure the unconstitutionality. That is what we should be debating about and not the poverty facing our former MPs. 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
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: We are here on a contract of five years after which we go back to an election and we come back for another contract of five years. We are okay with that. If we are given benefits equivalent to a CS, we will serve our constituencies effectively through the structures I have talked about: the benevolent and health scheme for us, our families and our people. However, let us not take ourselves as special. Thirty million Kenyans live below poverty line, my brothers. When we are debating this, let us be sensitive about those people because this thing will come ... view
