• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: She is absent. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report. I want to congratulate the Committee for the work well done. I did not know the Chairperson of this Committee, but when I inquired, I was told it is Hon. Kamanda. I want to congratulate him for the work well done. The success of a committee has a positive correlation with its Chair. We have seen that in committees. If the chairperson is lazy, its output will be nil. The performance of a committee can only be demonstrated through its output. The Report is out. We say hongera to the ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I have looked at the names of the commissioners and they represent the face of Kenya. It may not be 100 per cent, but I salute it. I have seen Central, Coast, Western and North Eastern regions are represented. The only unfortunate thing is that where I come from in the Rift Valley, there is no name representing us. I have checked keenly. So, I am hoping that as we move on, Rift Valley will also be represented. I am from Trans Nzoia, which is in Rift Valley. Next time, Mr. President, we want Rift Valley to be represented. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: You know we have different sections of the Rift Valley. Hon. Angwenyi, I expect you to know this. I represent the North Rift. Please, when you see me mentioning that, I am talking about the issues of the North Rift. So, generally, we can see the face of Kenya. We salute that. On hatred, we condemn violence. If what we saw in Kibra is anything to go by, in 2022, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the police should ensure that we do not have chaos. In case there is any report that was done on Kibra, whoever ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I have seen other people attacking other people’s cultural practices, for example, the circumcision practice. Worldwide, many people are not circumcised. So, people should not attack communities based on their cultural practices. Cohesion is about respecting people’s diversity in terms of religion, ethnic and cultural practices. Today, I am speaking like a pro-life Catholic. I salute Hon. Duale, the Speaker and the President for the good work they have done. During the opening of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) forum, I was keen. There was an element of sexual health rights. Some of the issues on it ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: On gayism and lesbianism, the last time the former President of the United States of America (USA), Barrack Obama, was here, President Uhuru told him on his face that we appreciate him as one of our own, but on these issues, we will not go there. I salute people who love God and subscribe to Biblical issues. We will not accept same sex marriage in this country. When you read Article 45 of the Constitution, it is clear. It says: “The family is the natural and fundamental unit of society and the necessary basis of social order, and shall enjoy ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Equalisation Fund Bill which is important. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: First, I want to thank Hon. Kamket for coming up with this Bill. For the benefit of the new Members, a similar Bill was in the last Parliament. It was brought by Hon. Lelelit who was a Member of Parliament from Samburu. It came as a constitutional amendment to establish a clear framework of the Equalisation Fund. As you all know, in a constitutional amendment, we must have two-thirds of Hon. Members present. Unfortunately, at that particular time, we did not achieve the two-thirds number. So, this Bill was here. I hope that Hon. Kamket is listening so that it ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I have looked at the context of this Bill. I want to speak about two or three issues that I have not heard any other Member of Parliament talk about. We know that the Bill is supposed to provide a clear framework and structures of how this money will be used. Since the Constitution was promulgated, this Equalisation Fund has been abused. It is used by the Executive for its own way of doing things. These funds are under the National Treasury but the Executive uses them at its discretion. It is abused. When such a Bill is in place, ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Article 204(3)(b) of the Constitution brings in the element… Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish you can listen. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
