• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of pending bills is a live matter. Therefore, we must ensure we give it the attention it deserves. Many Kenyans, including your friends and people of Laikipia--- I have also seen that Laikipia County has huge pending bills which will continue to eat into their development budget. It is unfortunate that pending bills were omitted. view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: The Public Finance Management (PFM) Act and the Constitution take supreme positions. The overlapping issue of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is also important. By the way, the CoB cannot investigate themselves. You cannot be a judge in your own case. The annulment of these Regulations is welcome. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to make one or two points on the issue of County Assemblies Forum (CAF) before I conclude. I have seen their recommendations which are important. We are not annulling this report in uncertainty. They can still consult the necessary stakeholders and re-draft the Regulations. view

These Regulations have been annulled because they have not met the threshold and standards of regulations provided. However, not all is lost. We can still use them as reference in drafting future rules and regulations. view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: I heard that the reason the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) was thrown out was because they gave us a framework on how to amend our Constitution in future. When we annul this report, it will also give the CoB opportunity to redraft the Regulations so that they are within a certain framework. Therefore, the annulment was welcome. I thank the committee and Members who annulled this report. People should know that Parliament is not a conveyor belt of the Government or any entity such that they can just bring regulations and expect us to pass them. We must do it ... view
• 18 May 2022 in Senate: Sometimes some Government officers insult Parliament thinking that we do not have the capacity. For anything they bring in this House, we must use the microscope, because we are the lawmaking body. Laws that we pass must be crystal clear and those that can assist our people to move forward. view
