• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I want to thank the Chair for that clarity. For purposes of independence, it is important that this county attorney should not sit in that CEC. The ranking here is for purposes of pecking order in the organisational structure. This is important. Even the Attorney-General we have currently enjoys that pecking order of a Cabinet Secretary (CS). When we go for functions, he sits with the other CSs. To bring order, I agree with the Chair. It is just for purposes of ranking, but he will not sit in the CEC. This is what we agreed on with Hon. Oundo. ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We need to vote differently because some of us agree with the first amendment that the term of the county attorney should not be renewable. From what the Chair explained on the second part of the amendment, the voting should be separated. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for purposes of consistency and removing ambiguity, I agree with what Hon. Sir George has proposed. In the absence of a substantive Cabinet Secretary in charge of constitutional matters, to remove ambiguity and bring order, it must be specified that the Hon. Attorney General will be the one responsible for that particular matter. I support. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: ( Question, that the words to be left out The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the amendments as per the Order Paper. Whatever is done in the National Assembly is cascaded down to the county assemblies. Article 119 of the Constitution says that every Kenyan has a right to petition Parliament. Sub-Article (2) dictates that Parliament shall legislate a procedure. Hon. Sir George is trying to put across that procedure. So, I support. In addition, not all Petitions should come to the Floor of the House. You can imagine the number of Petitions that come here going to the House Business Committee to be considered ... view

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. When it comes to petitions, we have seen some people bring petitions which are frivolous, just for the sake of busybodies coming to waste time. When a petition comes before the relevant committee, that committee has to examine it. Indeed, if it cannot meet the threshold, there is that aspect of it being frivolous. The petition can be dismissed, even at the committee level. This is what happens at the National Assembly and it is cascaded down to the county assemblies. Again, they may visit the site. A petition may be concerning environmental issues most of the time. ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I want to inform “Sir G” and also my brother here, Hon. Member for Funyula. In the Standing Orders, the concerns of Hon. Oundo are genuine. It is true. You can have a rogue Chair. We had this issue in the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations in the last Parliament. He can just come and impose. When you look at our Standing Orders, it is specified that the Chair can only communicate the resolutions of the Committee. So, even the Standing Orders, which I am sure, are in the county assemblies, it shows clearly that whatever the chairperson ... view
