• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: In line with Standing Order No.1, you can provide some direction. I have looked at the Memorandum from His Excellency the President where he has indicated that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) should be vetted within a period of 12 months. In my understanding, when you talk of within a period of 12 months, it might be the first month and the second month. My proposal for the amendment was that instead of going for the 12 months, they be vetted within six months, which is within the reservation of His Excellency the President. So, I need your guidance ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in future, in line with our procedure in legislation, any amendment has to go through the Committee in charge of justice and legal affairs. I have evidence of what I wrote. I have signed it and you have approved it. In future, the relevant officers who misunderstood what I meant should not repeat that mistake. I stand guided but as you can see from the evidence of my amendment which you have signed, there is nothing; I indicated “at the commencement of the Act,” but I stand guided. In the future, the Committee in charge of justice and ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to thank Hon. Washiali who was the Chairman of Mediation Committee and myself as the sponsor of this Bill who has taken forever, I want to thank the Senate. The Senate looked at this Bill critically and it added a lot of value as far as the improvement is concerned. We do know very well that fertilizer is very critical as far as the food security in this country is concerned. I come from Trans Nzoia region. The people of Trans Nzoia particularly have really suffered because we have ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: that whatever the animals are going to consume, they must be able to add value as far as their health is concerned. I do not want to talk too much because many people have talked about this. It is unfortunate that the Bill has taken forever. This was my first Bill when I came to Parliament. I started by having a Motion and the Motion was passed unanimously. We came to this Bill. Unfortunately the Bill has taken forever but we do hope that it is going to find its way quickly to His Excellency the President to assent to ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment of the Committee. It is true that it is in line with the President’s reservations. Initially, the way it was amended, it was actually hanging. But now, the Committee has improved it further to bring clarity on the issue of conducting interviews. So, I rise to support Hon. Chepkonga’s amendment of the Committee. Thank you. view

• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You realise that I had proposed an amendment but the Hon. Speaker had earlier ruled. It is good to note that, indeed, I am the one who had initially proposed this amendment. From the outset, I want to thank the President because he saw the need of vetting the Secretariat and, at least, he accepted that the Secretariat must be vetted. I know, he indicated that continuity has to be there and they have to be vetted within a period of 12 months. From basic understanding of English, when you say: “Within 12 months” ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Because it is in the same spirit, I had wished to shorten the 12 months to six months. But because it was messed up by one of our departments here, I wish to withdraw my amendment and support the one that has been proposed by His Excellency the President. view
