• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I oppose this amendment because there is an issue of consistency. We are going to treat this in a unique manner, yet we have other fields which are technical in nature and they are given three years. Therefore, I do not see any justification for the Chair to come and say that there will be room for motivation. Right now the government is looking towards result-based management and the performance appraisals are going to be done even on a yearly basis. I do not see any justification for the increase from three years to five years, when this ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I have no problem with this one; I had a problem with the previous one. I support the amendment. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. We learn from mistakes and I want to congratulate hon. Kuria for trying by referring to Standing Order No.89 which talks about the sub judice rule. What I am concerned about is that, before any Motion comes to the Floor of the House, there is process and a procedure. I am wondering how hon. Kuria sneaked his Motion to the House yet we have a stage that a Motion passes. It is in the public domain that this matter is active in the courts of law and everybody knows that it is sub judice . How ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: As you are aware, it is the discretion of the CORD Coalition to decide who should be their Whip. Indeed, communication was done, and hon. Thomas Mwadeghu has since been the Minority Whip. In line with Standing Order No.171, he is actually going to the House Business Committee because of the position of Minority Whip that he holds. As my friend has clearly put it, maybe, just to paraphrase, Standing Order No.171, paragraph (3) says that in nominating the Members to the House Business Committee, each parliamentary party shall include its whip. For the sake of CORD, it is high ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I rise to seek clarification pertaining the next week’s business that the Majority Whip has just mentioned. This is on behalf of hon. Wekesa, the Member for Saboti, who is out of the country for parliamentary business. He had nominated me to prosecute the question he had asked the Cabinet Secretary in charge of interior, Mr. ole Lenku. The Leader of Majority Party had indicated that he is supposed to be scheduled for Tuesday but what the Majority Whip – I do not know whether hon. ole Metito is listening – mentioned, it ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, I am guided. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to support what hon. Chepkong’a has just said. Indeed, it is very critical when such a Bill of insolvency is being discussed and yet we do not have any input from the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) or Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK). These are very critical stakeholders when it comes to this Bill. It is always our assumption that before a Bill reaches Second Reading, public participation has taken place. My question is, does it mean that the procedure has changed? It is always an assumption that the Committee, before ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. The Government has tried so much to create different funds to help different groups. Our Constitution is very clear that youth are people aged 34 years and below. We congratulate the Government for coming up with the Uwezo Fund, which is helping women and the youth. When you look at men of 35 years and above, we do not have any fund that targets them. You realize that men in this age bracket have families to take care of. This is the group which is seeking leadership in the ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: going to create employment. I remember one of the pledges that the Jubilee Government gave was to create employment. Employment cannot just be created in the formal sector. It can also be created in the Jua Kali sector. The Jua Kali sector will do well if there is such a fund. We have the Directorate of Industrial Training, which can also be enhanced to equip young entrepreneurs with skills all over the country and help them to advance in business. We have discussed the boba bodas sector, for instance. It is one of the areas that has created a lot ... view
