• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am saying I do not have the Report which I am supposed to table now. I will possibly table it tomorrow if you allow me. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been waiting for this opportunity. Let me also join my colleagues in supporting these appointments. Looking through the people who have been appointed and listening to the Chair of the Committee, I have no doubt that we got competent Kenyans. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: But the more I listened to Members contributing to this Motion, the more I ask myself some fundamental questions. If you look at most of the countries the officers are going to and consider balance of trade, you realise that it is actually not in favour of Kenya. One of the key responsibilities of ambassadors is to make sure they promote trade between Kenya and those other countries. The other important responsibility is promoting international and regional co- operation. But I really wish to see a situation whereby the Committee chaired by my friend, Hon. ole Katoo, continues monitoring those ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Looking at the composition of the nominees, there is a clear distribution in terms of military and public service. I want to emphasise the point that was raised by Hon.

But what surprised me most is the issue of academic The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: qualifications. The reason we are placed at position 46 as Members of Parliament is because they say that this House is very low in academic standards. But, this is the only arm of Government where you find somebody of Form Four level or Class Eight level and PhDs sitting in the same place discussing matters of national importance. When you go to the Judiciary, the judges are all of the same level and in the Executive, directors and heads of department are at the same academic level. So, it was unfair to this House when she said that she could ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: So, I support but the lessons we have learnt should be taken over by the new commissioners so that Members of Parliament are placed in the right position in terms of hierarchy. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment. From what the Chair of the Committee has said, it is important that the acquiring body has the final word. As he has said, we have witnessed a bit of collusion when it comes to land matters. It is important that the acquiring body takes full responsibility so that even when we have issues like the Ruaraka land, we know where to place the responsibility. I support the amendment. view
