• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members are aware that we started this process last year and would like to introduce it again for this Third Session.

• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I beg to move and request to be seconded by Hon. Martha Wangari, MP for Gilgil Constituency. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am happy because we have got here in terms of this particular Bill. It is going to change the marketing of our agricultural produce. It is giving the right infrastructure for commodities exchange, so that we are able to do away with the middlemen who have misused farmers and taken advantage of the fact that farmers may not have direct access to markets. It will stabilise prices across the country, so that we will not deal with Government and insist that it must buy our maize because it must subsidise. We will now let market ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Let me just say one thing. As we went through the Committee of the whole House stage, I was extremely inspired by the kind of concern and debate that took place as we went through the various amendments and the understanding of Members on the importance of this particular Bill. Let me also appreciate the work that I saw of the Chairman and the Vice Chair of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock during the whole process that we went through. It was a long day but their work and the fact that they were working together was really ... view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 27 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to state that I support and to reiterate the Committee and the Chair’s position that consultations are going to be very important going forward. We had consultations and round table meetings this morning with various parties and one of the things that surprised the Committee was that the Judiciary Fund attempted to seize unclaimed assets. I am using very bold language, but that is what it attempted to do and to usurp the authority of the Unclaimed Assets Authority and the Act that governs it. Had there been further consultations and public ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to add my voice to the Motion that is before us on the Parliamentary Service Bill, 2018. I begin by first thanking Hon. Cheptumo and his Committee for the work they have done in terms of this particular Bill. May I say that this is a long journey that started way back in 1970 when one Hon. Jean Marie Seroney brought a Motion on 20th March 1970 that aimed at making Parliament an independent organ of government from the Executive. Although he did not succeed in achieving what he ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Parliament. This has been lacking. It is actually worrying that we have been able to pass legislation for the establishment of all the other commissions other than the Parliamentary Service Commission. So, I am happy to see that we have enshrined critical values that we will take up as the Parliamentary Service Commission and as the employees of this Parliament so that we can be able to maintain the dignity of this House and we can understand that there are certain things we must uphold as Members of Parliament as enshrined in the Constitution and we must be the ones ... view
• 22 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: with a clear way of ensuring that the pension scheme is run in an accountable way and that when Members leave, they do not have keep pushing for their money - they can get it without any problems. In this Parliament, we had to discuss the issue of former Members of Parliament who had not been paid their dues. I hope that going forward the Parliamentary Service Commission will look into the matter of pensions and make sure that they take care of the MPs who are in and out of the House so that we can take care of ... view
