• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me opportunity to second this Procedural Motion and thank the Leader of the Majority Party for moving it.

• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with the current historical handshake, we expect to have a full House because all Members from both sides will be in attendance. We also expect that all the Senators from both sides will be in attendance.

It is important that we give time to the staff of Parliament to prepare for the afternoon session. view

According to the CoG, they have not even planned that any Member of Parliament can be in attendance of that meeting. I was there and left Kakamega at 11.00 O’clock without an accreditation card. It is true, just the way Hon. Junet is saying, the money they are supposed to be collecting as taxes from the counties is not being collected.
