• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: job. This House should not accept chairs who have been imposed on them. Let us get leadership based on competence. If a chair cannot perform and he is not around, let us give the free will to the Members of that particular committee to elect another person who has the competence and what it takes. One must show some enthusiasm. Majority of the chairpersons are sleeping on the job and this is causing a lot of delays. view
• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I want to salute the Chair of the Committee on Implementation. Doing a comparative analysis with the previous one, of course, Hon. Kenta, has tried. Parliament cannot legislate in vain. I brought a Motion here to come up with Kijana Wamalwa University of Science and Technology and it was passed. It has been promoted to become a national university. It is high time, as we move on, to have the name changed. The chair, who is here, must move with speed so that the name is changed from “Kitale National Polytechnic” to “Kijana Wamalwa National Polytechnic” as we wait for ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank you very much. If all departmental committees are unable to effectively do prepublication scrutiny, what about public participation? It is a big challenge. As I speak, we do not have a law that guides public participation. I have done one and it should be coming for First Reading very soon, so that we can have a clear framework when we do public participation. We do not have any law that operationalises Article 118 of the Constitution on public participation. We have seen many shortcuts taken in legislation. At the county assemblies, it is even worse. A ... view

• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I second this Procedural Motion. As Hon. Washiali has said, Wednesday morning is for Private Members business but, apparently, Members are getting demoralised. Some had brought their Motions and given notices, but they did not know that once we start a new session, they lapse and have to re-start again. That is an important point that they ought to know. I had a discussion with Hon. Mwangaza in the last Session. Her Motion was supposed to be on the Floor, and I am sure she has restarted the journey. I think the Private Members’ day ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Choices have consequences. We do not want to open a Pandora’s box in this House. Most of the time we like putting on caps. I personally like to put on jeans, but when I come to this House, I am obligated to dress as per the dress code and the traditions of this House. Not all of us like putting on ties, but this House has rules. I am humbly requesting you to rule on this matter once and for all particularly for our female colleagues. Some have come here with miniskirts. I looked at the ... view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second. This is the work that the Senate is supposed to do. The Constitution is very clear that the core business of the Senate is to legislate on matters affecting the counties. This is the first time I have seen the Senate doing good work. It is true that there exists a lacuna in the law. There is an incident that happened in Makueni where a commission was set up. It then gave its recommendations and the President had to exercise his discretion. I am happy that this Bill will address that lacuna. ... view
