• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I am guided. This Bill talks of five counties: Kiambu, Kajiado, Murang’a, Machakos and Nairobi. In terms of significance, Nairobi County contributes 92 per cent. The rest will only contribute about 8 per cent. So, the gist of the matter, as far as transport is concerned, is about Nairobi County. I have gone through the memoranda. I was very interested to see the submissions from Nairobi County, but I have not seen any. Nairobi County is critical as far as this Bill is concerned. The rest of the counties are totally insignificant. Hon. Speaker, the greatest ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am drafting a Bill on public participation because the Constitution talks about it in Article 118. We do not have a Bill to provide a framework on public participation and yet it is very critical. We must have the Bill so that when we talk of public participation we do not miss its gist. According to me, public participation is very critical so that wananchi or their representations in different professional bodies can be incorporated when it comes to legislation. I am also concerned about Narok and Makueni counties just as Hon. Mbadi. From here, when you ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: indeed, very important, that when it came to public participation, they should have invited other stakeholders, including members of the civil society who deal in matters transport. It is my humble request that as we move on, we expedite my Bill on public participation because it will solve most of these problems. I want to express my displeasure concerning the harassment, threats and torture upon my party leader, Senator Moses Wetangula. In the Bible, the stone that was rejected become the corner stone. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, during the Zero Hour which is coming, we will talk more on that. I want to thank you for that Zero Hour because we will use that time to talk about matters of importance in this country. We are entitled to our own expression. The Zero Hour must be inclusive. When Baba says, ‘left’, we go left. When he says we go right, we also go right. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: That was not a problem. We are here to move forward as a team and that is why I can see Hon. Kajwang’. Back on the Bill, the implementation of this Bill is going to be challenge. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, protect me from Hon. Duale. He is saying that I will be removed. There is freedom of expression. The challenge is, as we move on, how will we implement this Bill? The County Government Act and the Traffic Act will be at loggerheads with it. It is important that when it comes to implementation, for purposes of harmonisation, we bring some amendments. That way, implementation, would be easy. I support the dialogue that is going on and also the Agenda Four, but we are not part of Government. We are here to provide oversight. I remain this side ... view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to condemn the harassment of forest officers in Mogotio. It seems the harassment has also gone to the Senate. view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I want to condemn the harassment of the Leader of the Minority Party at the Senate, Sen. Moses Wetangula. 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
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this gentleman needs to respect me. He needs to know that we are not playing sycophancy here. My intelligencia is totally different. I am not a sycophant. In the Bible, the ‘stone’ that was rejected by the builders became the chief cornerstone and the Standing Orders allow us to condemn this harassment. How does the Speaker rule? There were two letters and one was from the National Supper Alliance (NASA). We support the dialogue. When ‘Baba’ said, “left!”, we went to the left. When he said, “right”, we went to the right. When ‘Baba’ said, “the ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand here today, first, to congratulate the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury, Henry Rotich, for the work well done. We know very well that as per our Constitution, this is supposed to be tabled here before 30th April. He has made history that we are discussing this Division of Revenue Bill today when we have one-and-a-half months to go. I want to confirm that His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta did not make a mistake to retain Rotich as the CS of the National Treasury. Secondly, I thank Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah. I was ... view
