Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this very important Motion. I express my gratitude to my brother, hon. Gumbo, for giving me these two minutes. It is very important for me to say that I support this Motion. Ranking is very important in this country. The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education has failed this country by purporting to set aside the requirement for ranking in our schools. Anybody who has lived in this country and who lives in this world knows that there is a hierarchy of ranking in everything. In human ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for allowing me to speak to this very important Motion by our respectable colleague, hon. Wangamati. I would like to commence by saying that we must take cognizance of history. We must go back to history and we must respect it. If we look at history, we shall be able to see ahead and determine our destiny in a better way. The Mau Mau uprising started as an agitation against the British, who had taken land belonging to the Mau Mau and their kin. This agitation culminated into the fight for freedom of this ...

Later on, this land was sub-divided so that part of it became Siriba College and part of it Maseno College. In fact, the remaining portion of that land has remained State land for a very long time. However, this land has been handed over to these institutions and the people of Bunyore feel aggrieved that they have not been consulted at all. They have not even been compensated with regard to this land. As we speak, today there is a lot of tension on the borderline at Maseno. The people of Lwanda are asking: Why are we being pushed away ...

Thank you, hon. Speaker, for granting me this opportunity to speak to this very important proposal of law. First of all, I want to candidly come out and say that I support this Bill. I believe that this is a very well laid out Bill. Also, this Bill is a constitutionally required Bill, and it is supposed to be passed within a certain period of time as provided in the timelines set in our Constitution. Having said that and taking cognisant of the fact that Article 229 of our Constitution speaks to the contents of this Bill, and what it ...

are applied in ways that are inimical to the environment that we live in. So, it is very important that we now have an auditor who will have the capacity to conduct environment audit. I have had the benefit of hearing some of the speakers before me questioning the Auditor-General’s capacity to be able to conduct this kind of audit. I would like to sway them away from that kind of thought by asking them to look at the provisions that have been set out in this Bill; the Auditor-General is allowed, expressly, to carry out his role and receive ...

With due respect to the submissions of my senior colleagues, who spoke before me, and with a lot of respect for their submissions, I believe that any nation, or country, in this world must have matters that cannot just be put out there; matters of national security clearly defined and set out, should not then be publicised in any way. Having said that, this proposed Bill protects the public by providing that where these matters are not published openly, then the National Assembly and the President may require the Auditor-General to disclose these special matters to a joint committee of ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to speak to this important proposal about coming up with a Parliamentary Society of Kenya. Looking at this Bill, we shall be making some amendments to it to expressly provide the criterion for becoming a member of this society. We will establish it, but we have not set out the criterion for becoming a member. Although it is captured in the preamble, it should provide for participation of former Members of Parliament in the promotion of the ideals of parliamentary democracy. It would be important to set that out ...
