• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: If they come to the House and they are not dressed well or they cannot smile well, the county assemblies can bring a Motion to remove them. These are the offices that have been at risk. This law is going to streamline that. We are going to have order. The speakers are going to work because there is a law and procedure that must be followed. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We are also warning our speakers in the county assemblies. Most of them have not passed any laws. They have just been doing oversight roles but when it comes to legislation, they must pull up their socks. It will be important for us to know which county assembly is doing well when it comes to matters of legislation. I thank the Senate Committee particularly on the issue of assumption of office of the governor. Look at what happened in Nyeri. It is very dangerous. The governor is the president of the county and in case he cannot assume office for ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Also, when it comes to the issue of the governor and the deputy governor, they are mutually inclusive. By this I mean that the two cannot be separated. It is like when you want to put on shoes, you must have both the left and the right one. So, in a situation such as what happened in Nairobi County... If for one reason or another a deputy governor is not there, it must be fixed within the framework of the law and I am happy they have put 14 days. So, I am sure my friend, Hon. Sonko is listening ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I know it is a big threat if you get a deputy governor who can work for your removal so that he can take over. The law says if the governor dies, the deputy takes over and so it is risky. But you must balance. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, how I had wished for a bit of disclosure so that we can also salute and congratulate this Hon. Member 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
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: because I know a bit of history about her and the last time she was in Parliament. She is a first woman MP to be elected directly from Garissa County. I know the person that she removed, the Hon. Member who is currently the Speaker of Garissa County Assembly. We were with him in the last Parliament. He was also a very good legislator and, obviously, if she managed to remove him, then she is a better legislator. So, can you also tell us more about what she has won so that we can also congratulate her? view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I respect you. For you to know, I was out of the country. I was in the holy land of Israel and I just came in yesterday. Otherwise, I am up to the task on current matters. Actually, I have been away for the last two weeks. Maybe that is why I am behind the news. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was talking about the issue of the deputy governor. The law talks of 14 days; that whenever an office of a governor becomes vacant under Article 182 of the Constitution, a person who assumes that office of the governor under that shall, within a period of 14 days… How I had wished when we come to the Committee of the whole House we amend that to one week because the deputy governor is already there. I do not see why we should wait for the 14 days. It is too long when it comes ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Bill is very critical. It has not come at the right time. It has been long overdue. Senate has been sleeping on the job but now that they have done something, it is good we salute them. The Leader of the Majority Party referred to the other House. Last time I was in the House of Lords with him and, obviously, when you look at the functions in the United Kingdom (UK) system, you find that the House of Lords is higher. In this country, when you look at the functions of the National Assembly, like other jurisdictions, you will ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: We make laws during the Committee of the whole House. I am not sure whether Hon. Osotsi’s amendment is in order. What he is trying to put across is obvious. That is why we were looking for the original Bill, so that we can understand whether it is true. We know very well that the IEBC should not be anywhere. It is automatic. So, from what he is saying, it is like the original Bill is saying… We need clarification to remove the confusion before we vote. view
