• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: you. I went to Rwanda Investment Board and they were very clear to me that, if you are a Kenyan in business, you are free to do any business in Rwanda. Actually, they would make it very easy for you to start your company. They would tell you the opportunities that are available. That should be the spirit across the entire East Africa Community. That way, we become stronger. With those few remarks, I beg to support and congratulate this Committee for the great work they have done. Thank you. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we come in peace as the female Members of Parliament of the National Assembly. We are the 44th tribe of this country. We have come here to put across the message that we have had a new Constitution since 2010 that has specific timelines for certain legislative proposals to be passed by this House. One of the legislative proposals is supposed to enable implementation of the two-thirds gender rule. It is now eight years and it has not been passed. All the other proposals have been passed. We come in peace to let this House and the nation ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support and second the Report. I want to concur with the Chair of the Delegated Legislation on the issue of counsel. In one of the meetings that we had, a Principal Secretary appeared with a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Counsel. I asked the Counsel, an advocate of the High Court of Kenya, if she was aware of the Act that guides the Delegated Legislation Committee, which is the Statutory Instruments Act. The Counsel was not even aware of that Act and started searching for it on her phone in our presence. It is of deep concern at the quality of legal advice that ministries and Cabinet Secretaries are getting. We urge them that if they have any queries, they should come before the Committee and seek advice and consult with the Committee before we come to the stage of ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The second issue is the fact that a lot of Regulations have been nullified because they have not been subjected to public participation. We must understand that legislative authority is derived from the people of Kenya. Public participation is, indeed, anchored in Article 10 and it is also the role of Parliament to ensure and facilitate public participation.

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if he really wants to be recognised, I recognise him. You have your day, I am sure you are smiling. You know some of these things are not necessarily demanded, they are earned. Those I recognised like Hon. Chris Wamalwa have earned my recognition. Now that you have demanded, I have decided to recognise you. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Before I was rudely interrupted and I hope I will not be interrupted again, we are lucky to be in this House which will amend this Constitution. I was referring to a statement by Hon. Osotsi. He said he partially supports the amendment. This issue of becoming a watermelon and being in the middle is not good. Members should either support or reject. Some of us come from a background of being supporters of people who presume to be watermelons. We are not talking of the total amendment of our Constitution. There was a time that we repealed for the ... view
