• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee looked at this and supported the President’s recommendation. This was also a big issue prior to the passing of this Bill in this House. The question was whether we should make it 50/50 for both technical and financial evaluations. This was a proposal from the Senate which went for mediation and we had to climb down to accommodate our brothers in the other House. This is an opportunity to correct the mistake. You cannot put in law that it should be equal. The valuation process depends on situations. So, the Committee supports the recommendation ... view
• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We considered these recommendations by His Excellency the President and my Committee agreed with the President that there are people who served this country very well during difficult times. The argument of the President was that during the first multi-party elections, many Kenyans served this country very diligently during that very difficult moment. It would have been very unfair to ignore those people. So, the Committee agreed to open up the dates so that we can begin from 1st January 1993, which was the beginning of the multi-party democracy. It would be very unfair ... view

• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The proposed amendment by Hon. Wandayi is out of order. I stand here having suffered the same fate. I was once ruled out of order because I did not seek for the re-committal when the House was still in the Committee of the whole House. So, this House must stand by it is previous precedent. We must observe standards. I sympathise with his position, but whatever he wants to do has been overtaken by events. He only needs to live by it for now. I can advise him that six months from ... view

• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I want to state at this stage that we did a very professional job. We met with the nominees for an average of two hours each. Subsequently I read the newspapers. I read with a lot of surprise the Daily Nation which is supposed to be the leading newspaper. It said that members of the Committee shunned policy issues for personal questions. The newspaper went ahead and said that the members were clueless and that we did not know what we were doing. I want to set the record straight. If the Nation Media House sent a clueless journalist to ... view
