• 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Actually, that is why I was saying you give me chance to talk. I belong to this committee. Exactly what Hon. Kaunya has said is what I wanted to say. This is not new; we are trying to localise this Bill. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The point which was made that we need to have the original Act when we are discussing some of these amendments makes a lot of sense. view
• 26 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: If the amendment that the Leader of the Majority Party has proposed and the House has passed implies that we are putting all the power of approving a PPP project to an individual, that is very dangerous. He has said that we are replacing the Cabinet with any contracting authority. That will be very dangerous for this country. However, he can explain that. If what we have passed implies what Hon. Kimunya is saying, hiyo ni hatari sana . view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With all due respect to my friend, is he in order to say that the public was not given a chance to make their presentation when these things were put on paper? People were given time to submit any complaint. Is he in order? view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to add my voice to this important debate. I support these appointments and the recommendations of the Committee. Why am I saying that? The work of this Commission on Administrative Justice is very clear. The mandate of this Commission is clear. Some of us have had a chance to work with some of these nominees. I get surprised when people say because you have been nominated by a political party, you lose your independence. The analysis is only based on competence, whether you have what it takes to do ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Some of us served with Hon. Florence Kajuju in the 11th Parliament. She was a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and at the same time, she was a Chair of the Committee on Regional Integration. We can attest that other than these political considerations, Hon. Kajuju has what it takes to do this work. That is a statement of fact. It can be challenged anywhere, but it is a fact. Irrespective of who has appointed her, she has what it The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: takes to do this job. I can tell those who are doubting to just give her the chance and within a year they will see what she can do. There are advantages and disadvantages of being appointed by a political party. At times, it can work well for that Commission because being an appointee of a particular party, may be the powers of that party can listen to you when you make suggestions on what should be done. It can also work against you if you are compromised, but I do not believe Hon. Kajuju is that kind of a ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: We all know very well that when you are acting, you may have some challenges. By the time she was working in the office of the Attorney-General as one of the senior officers, she was among the best officers. That time, I was consulting for the Government and she was one of the officers working under me in terms of training. She is one of the best students you would get while training officers. I look at her performance in this place based on the working environment. We are all politicians and must accept that if there is any group ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: We need a substantive RPP. Let us start by looking at ourselves, those who are in charge of political parties. If we promote democracy at that level, we will make the work of the RPP easy, but in a situation where we have all this confusion in political parties, automatically that office will be confused. I support this appointment and plead with Members to allow these Kenyans who have been given this opportunity to serve us. If they have any shortcomings, the law is very clear in terms of how you can replace a commission. I am sure the Chair ... view
