• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: create jobs. People are making super profits. That is why when it comes to public private partnership, there was a law that was passed on the Floor of this House but we have some unscrupulous business people who are just waiting for that time to come and scoop everything. So I wish that when that time comes, when we are looking at the public private partnerships, it will be done with the intention of benefitting our youth and Kenyans. We do not want people from outside to dupe us to get into a relationship where they will be reaping all ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and I support. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The former President of this country, President Mwai Kibaki, used to say a healthy nation is a working nation. Indeed, matters of healthcare are very critical. This Petition that the honourable Member from Tharaka Nithi has brought is actually very critical. It is such a coincidence because the National Assembly is facing a similar problem. In matters of healthcare, particularly when it comes to insurance firms, before any customer enters into an agreement, it is important, indeed, for them to understand the nitty-gritties. This is because at times, you sign an insurance contract but when it ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I respect Hon. Limo very much, but the justification he has given does not make sense. It needs to be contextualised as it is in the Bill to bring Members to speed as they debate. The justification must be in the context of the Bill. By saying that it was bringing confusion and he is substituting the word, “interim” with the word “emergency”, I had expected him, as a very good Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, to give further clarification for purposes of easier understanding and in the context of the ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, the Chair of the Committee has explained well for purposes of consistency. But, Clause 7 has (a) and (b). His explanation refers to Clause 7(a). He has not said anything as far as justification of Clause 7(b) is concerned. Please, Chair, could you provide an explanation? view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Nyamita needs to understand the Standing Orders. He has been in this House for long. When a matter is on the Order Paper, it is actually the property of the Committee. I want to salute Hon. Tonui for what he has put in place. It is indeed true that we have a lot of pending bills at the national and county levels of the Government. The questions we normally ask the governors are why we have pending bills and whether the money was given as per the Division of Revenue Bill. We are ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I seek your direction on this. Hon. Ichung’wah, whom I respect so much, is the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. The amendments he is tabling are very substantive. We know very well in Parliament that any amendment that is proposed must be on the Order Paper. I listened keenly to his first amendment which I am concerned about and will oppose later. But he went to the second one and when you check the Order Paper - and my Leader of the Minority Party has also been struggling – the amendment is ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion. Of late, we have realised that such procedural Motions are very key because we have a lot of business that we need to finish within the time frame that we have. We have realised that one hour is enough because at times, it goes into repetitions. I truly support this and request Members to be around, so that we can clear this business. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Parliament has powers. It can veto even a Committee Report. We need to start from there. As Parliament, when a matter has come, we give all the trust to our respective Committees. The matter that the Member for Kilifi North has raised is indeed very important. We cannot just wish it away. All these people who have been mentioned were Principal Secretaries. It is in the records. We expect the Committee to have interrogated to know who was the Principal Secretary at that particular time. I am humbly requesting Hon. Baya, because his is ... view
