• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Police Service Commission, but I want to say heko to the Immigration Department for the way I was attended. In fact, today morning I went to pick my passport. I want to thank them and we want other public officers to emulate the Immigration Department. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when it comes to values, we are going to bring amendments during the Committee of the whole House stage. It is, indeed, important that when it comes to values here, we must put the element of zero tolerance to corruption. It is missing in this booklet. When we come to the Committee ... view

• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to seek your clarification on the Petition that you have just mentioned and the Bill that came from the Senate. At the National Assembly, there is a similar Bill on the amendment of Political Parties Act which I had actually sponsored. I want to seek your clarification in terms of the origin of such a Bill so that we get clear and avoid duplication of legislation because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: there is one in the Senate and one in the National Assembly. We should be very clear because the Senate has a clear mandate in terms of what kind of Bills can originate from there and that is also the case in the National Assembly. So, I want to seek your clarification on the same matter. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support this Water Bill and I want to say that this one has been long overdue. There was a Water Act and people in Government used to say by the year 2002, there would be water for all. We waited for the water and up to now, as we speak today, we do not have water for all. This Bill is very critical because it is going to provide for the regulation, management and development of water resources. There is the element of the sewerage which is in this ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker when you read the title of the Water Bill, it says: “An Act of Parliament to provide for the regulation, management, development of water resources, water and sewerage services and for connected purposes.” It is very clear. So, anyone looking at this and from this description--- When you go through the Water Bill, it is common sense that you will expect some parts of this it to touch on issues dealing with the sewerage. We appreciate that it is devolved; even when it comes The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: to the issue of water, when you go to Schedule Four of the Constitution, it is equally devolved but we are going to have an apex body which is going to be like a parastatal; it is going to be a water regulatory authority. This authority will have a board, which will be overseeing the management of the operations of this regulatory authority. So, my comment on this is that when we look at the issue of the board, it is crucial that the counties be represented. This is because when you look at the composition of board members you ... view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. We had discussed this issue and I agree with what the Chairman has said. The initial import when you talked of executive responsibility, the person was stepping aside to give room for investigations; so that he does not interfere with investigations. He or she should step aside and be on half pay. view
• 30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: However, when it comes to State officers, we have some who are appointed and others who are elected. So, the moment you remove the issue of executive responsibility, that brings in the State officers who are elected like Members of Parliament. This includes the MCAs and the governors. I do not think the President was misadvised. I do not think he meant what this particular clause is supposed to bring on board. I agree with 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 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: the other speakers that this issue should be suspended because the implication is that somebody can go to court. Even the usage of your CDF, much as it is just an oversight, you will be suspended, get half pay and yet you are elected. You are not an appointed State officer. That is the implication of this clause. So, I agree with what the others have said that it should be suspended. There should be further consultations or it be suspended for that matter. view
