• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: point people thought that he was a very weak leader. When you look at what he used to do at the end of the 11th Parliament, we all agreed that Hon. Nyenze was a very strong leader. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I chaired the Kitui County Parliamentary Forum during the 11th Parliament. Hon. Nyenze was one of the members. Despite him and Hon. Musila being very senior in political career compared to me, those two leaders demonstrated a very high level of humility when I chaired that forum. As a region, we want to pray to God that he stands with the family. He has left a wife and three children. As a House, I only plead with the Members that you support us in praying for the family and the region. Because he was a sitting Member of Parliament, we ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I want to pray that my colleague and friend rests in eternal peace. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. Yesterday afternoon, I rose on a point of order related to this matter namely, the matter of our colleagues who lost in the elections. On the basis of that, from the outset, I support the appointment of Parliamentary Pensions Management Committee. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: After this, I will move from this seat to another. On the basis of what I said yesterday, I support this Motion from the outset, on the appointment of Members to the Parliamentary Pensions Management Committee. Listening to the Leader of the Majority Party moving the Motion, I realised that the membership of the Committee includes civil servants and members of the Executive. We have five Members who will be representing the interests of Members of Parliament namely, the three who are listed here and the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Clerk of the National Assembly, who will ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: A lot has been said by speakers who have had the Floor before me relating to Members of Parliament who have left this House. We have been told that 106 Members of Parliament have sent their applications to be paid their pension. They have not been paid basically because this Committee is not in place. As a House, it is important we get it into place. My humble request is that when the Committee is approved by the House, they should sit immediately and clear the former Members of Parliament so that they can get their benefits. As they do ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Committee is to make sure that the interests of former Members of Parliament and the current ones is taken care of. This is not being selfish. Labour laws are clear that if you work and you are entitled to a gratuity, which is normally 31 per cent, when you conclude your contract, in organisations that practice best international practices, your final pay cheque is supposed to come together with your gratuity cheque, so that you do not waste time waiting for it. It will then help you as a former Member of Parliament to reorganise your life. These people want ... view

• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My point of order relates to Standing Order No.212B. If you allow me, I will read it: (1) “There shall be a select committee to be designated the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities. (2) The Committee shall be responsible for- a) receiving and considering views of Members on the services and facilities provided for their benefit and well-being.” view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: We all know that we have not formed parliamentary committees and because of that issues of Members’ welfare are suffering. I would like to give an example. I was in the 11th Parliament and also a Member of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. We factored into the Budget money to be paid to Members of Parliament who would lose their seats as a result of the General Election. We are aware that 70 per cent of the Members of the 11th Parliament lost their seats and that is why we have 70 per cent of new Members in the House. ... view
