• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The matter that the Member has raised is very critical. We have both been lecturers in the same university. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I have done some calculations. Mrs. Halima was born in 1988. She is 30 years old. She cleared school at the age of 18. She started her employment. I have looked at that Act keenly and there is nowhere in the Act where it indicates that you must have 10 years post-graduate experience after you finish university. We should not confuse the issue at hand. There are many people who have started jobs and then later on go and acquire a degree. You can go up to the masters and PhD level. With regard to the issue of 10 years’ ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report partially. The SRC is a very important Commission. I have gone through the list of these nominees and I want to mention the nominee who is to be the Chair. Ms. Lyn Mengich qualifies. I have had personal experience with her. I met her in my early days and when it comes to matters of human resource, this lady has the qualifications and I have no doubt, she will be the right chair when it comes to the SRC. The core function of SRC is a human resource function. It ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: was rejected. This lady is a lawyer. We want a legal mind in this commission. Issues to do with labour laws only a lawyer will be better at interpretation. We are very disappointed with this Committee. It is high time they took their work seriously. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of records. Normally, you look at the adoption page. I said when you minus the Chairperson, the other members are nine. Common sense dictates when you add nine and the chairman, it is 10 members. That is what I said. Minus the Chairperson, there are only nine members who signed the adoption of the Report. I want to demonstrate how this Report is shady. The Executive Summary explains the entire Report in summary. This is what the Chair says in the second paragraph: “The Clerk of the National Assembly requested for memoranda ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: way they were smiling. I humbly request colleagues who are here to approve the list. We leave out the one who is not qualified as the Speaker has said and we approve Nelly Peris Ashubwe to bring a legal mind to the Commission. The Commission is very critical; it is going to determine salaries in the entire country. Hon. Speaker, I do not want to talk too much. I support. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. I have listened carefully. In many jurisdictions, the Robin Hood tax is used. My fear is that we are opening a Pandora’s Box. There is no clarification when it comes to transfer of salaries. We control the National Government Constituencies Fund (NG-CDF) and at times we send bursaries to universities in excess of Kshs500,000. Who will take care of this extra charge? I had wished that in the same exemptions, we would have gone to an extent of including even the NG-CDF bursaries and the Uwezo Fund. When we talk of the principle of Robin Hood, it refers ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We are opening a Pandora’s Box and I am humbly requesting that we reject this proposal in totality, unless we agree for a further amendment. Hon. Angwenyi, soon the salaries of your staff under the NG-CDF, will face the challenge. This is the problem at hand. So, Hon. Limo, we should reject it in totality. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Indeed, I was away. I had spoken about the matter yesterday. I was in the Holy City of Vatican. We had an opportunity to meet the Holy Father Pope Francis and he is praying for Kenya. So, I bring greetings and blessings from the Holy City of Vatican. This Motion on the division of revenue is very critical. The objective of the Division of Revenue Bill is to divide national revenue between the two levels of Governments, namely, the national Government and county governments. Of course, we must look for ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: have not been paid up to now. So, we want to thank the Swedish Government, but we are calling upon the national Government to ensure that the corrupt practises will stop. We are watching the crack of Mr. Noordin Haji. We are seeing senior people in the Government getting worried. You know what has happened, that your equivalent in the Judiciary… I am praying that they do not come for you because he is targeting high ends. view
