• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: If it is found that he has breached privilege, he should be named because he stood on a point of contribution and not a point of order. We must apply the law equally. He is not above the law. So, I request that you call for the HANSARD, so that we get to know the truth, and if he violated our rules, he should be named. Thank you. view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. It is very unfortunate because we know that the BPS is there to provide a framework of the Budget process, including how the allocations are going to be done. The same BPS was debated and passed by the Senate. It is going to be inconsistent for them again to change it. The BPS is supposed to be consistent with the Division of Revenue Bill. It is completely out of order for them to, again, propose an additional allocation of Kshs1.76 billion to the county ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: together as a team, but they want to act as if we are fighting a supremacy war. We do not want to go that way. The issue here is that we need to reject this amendment, even if it means taking the matter to a mediation committee. If the matter is going to be taken to a mediation committee, we need to have some new Members to represent the National Assembly in the way we want. We do not want to be represented by people who may not understand what we want. I know that the Budget and Appropriations Committee ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I raised the issue of regulations particularly on police recruitment, which is supposed to take place next week. I listened to the Chairman, hon. Cheptumo. You indicated that unless the regulations have been here and have been approved they cannot take effect. You realise that this issue was of a big concern last time when the recruitment of police was done, particularly with regard to districts and constituencies. Some constituencies shared positions whereas others got many chances. It was an issue of equity. We, therefore, want an assurance - the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion as amended. The land issue is something that is very volatile and as the amendment reads, in this issue of privatisation, consultation was not done fully. You realize that it dates back before the new Constitution and as time goes by, circumstances have changed. When you look at that Report, there is a debt of about Kshs59 billion. When I had a discussion with the respective Departmental Committee, we discussed many issues and the Government was going to write it off. But we asked ourselves questions: If the Government ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, looking at the valuations, you realize that land always appreciates but machines always depreciate. These machines are outdated. They do not have any meaningful value as such. When you look at the issue of privatisation, the major interest here is this land. This land was community land where the forefathers who owned this land were forced out of those particular regions to move to other regions. This is part of the historical injustices. It is, indeed, important that we must differentiate when it comes to the value of the machines and the value of the land. ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: but machines have depreciated; they have no value. In the real sense, we are privatising this community land. It is key that before further consultations are done, we must have a valuer to tell us the value of this community land and what the value of those outdated machines is. If we get a strategic investor, obviously one of the critical things he has to do is to modernize the equipment because they are outdated. This is again a challenge to the national Government. What they should have done is to modernize the equipment and bring in new technology so ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Jamleck has raised a critical issue, especially in the education sector. With due respect to the Cabinet 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
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Secretary, Prof. Kaimenyi, there is no way these Regulations can be implemented, yet this House is not seized of the matter. We have had notices for strikes by the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) and the Kenya Union of Post-Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET). These are some of the things that we can eliminate. We do not want this confrontational leadership style. It would be nice, and Prof. Kaimenyi should move with speed to have the Regulations brought to the Floor of the House for us to debate. According to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Act, it is only the ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of pain. We really need a clear balance. I have listened to the Departmental Committee on Health. I am a Christian and a Catholic for that matter. I listened carefully when hon. Millie was trying to move this Bill. I listened keenly to hon. Joyce Lay when she was seconding this Bill; she was actually almost crying. It is a right of any Kenyan to have a child. I listened to hon. (Dr.) Pukose as he talked on this issue. As a Christian, I was very keen to listen to what the ... view
