• 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

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have a lot of respect for Hon. Dennitah Ghati. Is she in order to mislead the House that the Senate is there to ensure devolution works? This is something that has been happening in the public. When you read the Constitution, you will know that the Senate has the mandate to legislate laws that affect the counties. However, there is nowhere in the law where it says that the mandate of the Senate is to ensure devolution works. Even the National Assembly has the mandate to make devolution work.

• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support the ratification of the bilateral air services agreements between Kenya, Jordan, Jamaica and Bahamas as presented by the Committee. I thank the Committee for the good work. Article 2(6) of the Constitution is very clear. It says that for any treaty or convention to be part and parcel of our Kenyan laws, it must be ratified by Parliament. The law is very clear. The Treaty Making and Ratification Act say that it is the National Assembly that ratifies them. When I was listening to the Chair ... view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I also want to take this opportunity to condemn the killings that occurred in Kolongolo, Kwanza Constituency. We thank God that Hon. Wanyonyi is here. We are requesting the security team to know their leaders. The rate at which they are clobbering leaders in Kenya is alarming. I wish quick recovery to those who were injured, including the Speaker of the County Assembly of Trans- Nzoia, Hon. Werunga, who is admitted in Eldoret. view
• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: On this Motion, EACC has not done much. Research has shown that 30 per cent of the national revenue of this country goes into wastage through corruption. We are seeing a newcomer, Maj. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak coming on board. The trend is changing. People with background in military are taking over. We have seen Mr. Noordin Haji who has done so well, so far. We have also seen the Director-General of National Intelligence Service (NIS), Major General Kameru. Soon, we should have a President from the military and Kenya will move in the right direction. From the current trend, ... view
