• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am just looking at the mood of the House and because there was an agreement somewhere that there should be no amendments. Instead of wasting time, as indicated earlier can I call upon the Chair of JLAC to just drop his amendments instead of wasting time? It seems there are no amendments therefore we do not need to waste time. view

• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second, obviously, I was not in Rio and I do not know where that came from. I was in Rome for spiritual nourishment and now I am back. What Hon. Duale has said is very critical. As whips, we find it very difficult as we try to get quorum, but it is very difficult in the morning. You can imagine. I request Hon. Members to avail themselves because the business that we have is very important. Particularly, on matters of National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NGCDF) and the Election Laws which we have to ... view

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My point of order is to seek your direction on the elections amendment Bills that are already on the Floor of the House, which are at their Third Reading or after the Second Reading. This is because we had initially discussed and said that whatever comes out of the Report of the Joint Select Committee on matters relating to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) will be integrated in the earlier Bills that are already on the Floor of the House. We seek your direction on that. Secondly--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: At the Committee of the whole House, it is supposed to be integrated into the already existing election laws amendment Bills that are already on the Floor of the House. I remember we suspended them pending the passage of this Report of the Joint Select Committee on matters relating to the IEBC. We also have the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill on the Floor of the House. What will happen to it? This is because some of these Reports have far-reaching ramifications on the IEBC Bill. Lastly, I was away but we know there was this Report of ... view

• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Senate has also passed it. What would happen to the issue of party hopping? Does it mean it was also integrated in one of the laws here? I just need your clarification. Thank you. view
• 30 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Even though the nature of this Bill requires that the amendment must have gone through the CS Treasury, the fact that the Departmental Committee Chair has accepted it, we can assume that it went through the Treasury. However, as we move on, and as you clearly put it, we know that for any school a bus is no longer a luxury. It is important for purposes of exchange programmes but, as the Leader of the Majority Party put it, we have a problem of abuse of privilege in this country. There was a time ... view
• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to comment on the Petition by Hon. Sumra, the Member for Embakasi South because Parliament cannot legislate in vain. I remember when we joined this Parliament, Hon. Koinange from Kiambu County moved a Motion pertaining to the treatment of emergency cases, whether you are in a private or public hospital. The issue of demanding payment of a deposit before treatment was done away with. We passed a resolution that a patient must be attended to. We should not lose patients because of selfish people. I call upon the Committee on Implementation - I ... view
