• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I did not say the Luhyas. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Junet is putting words in my mouth. The nominations should represent the face of Kenya and should have the youth. Currently, many ambassadors left their careers and were appointed to respective regions, but they have now been left on the way without knowing where to go. We know that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Trade is the one which gives the recommendations. We want to see whether there is the face of Kenya in that particular Ministry. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: This is also a message to the Principal Secretary and Cabinet Secretary in charge of this ministry. A lot has been said about Ms. Mwende. When you look at the qualifications, provisions of Article 260 of the Constitution and the Leadership and Integrity Act, particularly when it comes to Sections 31 and 52, she is competent. She can do the job. Before she gets it, she must renounce the citizenship of the United States of America. We have been told that her citizenship is not by registration, but by birth. She did not have control over this. Maybe the mum ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: For instance, there is the issue of pro-life in this country. Kenyans are pro-life. We do not advance same sex marriages. Some issues are allowed in the USA. We have conflicts. It is, indeed, important that she renounces her USA citizenship so that we are assured that if we have any conflict of interest when it comes to matters of policy, obviously, she will be on our side. That is very important. I have no doubt because we were told that Ms. Mwende Mwinzi vied for an elective position in Mwingi West and Hon. Charles Nguna Ngusya (CNN) floored her. ... view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: 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
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In the first place, I am not a Member of Parliament for Kimilili. I am a Member of Parliament for Kiminini. The point of order does not refer to me. The Member for Kimilili is Hon. Didmus. So, I have no business in that context because I am the Member for Kiminini, but not Kimilili. She referred to the Member for Kimilili who is the wrong person. So, I am not obligated to answer that. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I move on, I need the point of information from Hon. Junet. Thank you. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. After we approve Ms. Mwende Mwinzi, she must renounce her USA citizenship before she takes up that position for the reasons I had already given. The nominating authority should know that the list does not represent the face of Kenya. The youth and people from other regions must be looked into next time so that the face of Kenya can be represented, particularly at this time of the Handshake. view
• 6 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you and I support the Motion. view
• 4 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. From the outset, I want to say that this Bill is long overdue. These are some of the critical Bills that we should have focused on immediately the Constitution was promulgated. When it comes to counties, there are lot of legal issues going on. We know very well that the county attorney, as we reflect from the national perspective, is the chief government legal adviser. He is the principal adviser to the county government. When we go to the counties, you find that the governors have been appointing some of ... view
• 4 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I want to agree with my other colleagues that the holder of this office must have the qualifications of a High Court Judge. That is why we are proposing that when we move to the committee stage we amend the five years - Hon. Cheptumo talks of seven years - to 10 years minimum. I know that is the threshold of the experience required to become the Judge of the High Court. We are saying so because the matters they are going to handle are complex in nature. We know very well that this particular office is very important when ... view
