• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am Hon. Benjamin Gathiru Mwangi.

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is this not a blatant violation of the provisions of Articles 73 and 75 of the Constitution? How can Hon.

Is it not obvious that the father cannot lend his daughter and son-in-law money? Can this House be reduced to a ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I request that when the Committee meets with the commissioners, the Vice-Chair should take over. It is not that the Chairman should be demoted or stop being the Chairman. He continues being the Chairman.

• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my reason for raising that matter is what happened in Mombasa on Friday with regard to conflict of interest. The Committee Members, myself included, wanted to question the commissioners. The Chairman said that we would hold the meeting in the afternoon. In the afternoon, the meeting was adjourned. I want to be very clear that I have nothing personal against the Chairman. I only request that when we are discussing matters that a Member has interests in, if you are the Chair, let the Vice-Chair direct the meeting and then resume your chairmanship after that. Thank you, Hon. ... view
• 18 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. I raised that issue in the meeting but the Chairman overruled me. view

• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to seek your indulgence as I request for deferment of the business appearing as Order No.11(i). It is consideration, in the Committee of the whole House, of the Public Service Commission (Amendment) Bill (No. 27 of 2019). The reason for this request is to allow for further consultation with the stakeholders to ensure that every aspect intended is considered. Thank you. view
