• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The whole foundation of this Bill is that it is donated by Article 82 of the Constitution which says that there shall be such a Bill. We are obligated under that Article that the voting to be provided under that Bill shall be simple. That rules out multiple questions. This is because, the Constitution obligates simplicity. If you are going to have 10 questions, then the voting will not be simple which is mandatory under the Constitution. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: This Bill goes wider outside many other omnibus matters and brings into issue Article 257 of the Constitution. Equally, the Constitution itself has a suggestion under that Article that it must be converted into a Bill. I do not know whether that Bill will say it is a multi or simple question. A Bill lies in between. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other question I would like to address is what my colleagues have raised, particularly – I heard from Dr. Oundo that it concerns public participation. Public participation is subjective. You can only look at public participation at the moment if you mistakenly overlap this Bill with any other election. Even if you did and landed in Article 257… For example, if you look at the BBI, it has gone through the mill. It went through the national committee which was collecting views. They met Members of the public and the views were expressed and compressed into a book. Then ... view

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was about to rise on a point of order. Member for Suba, death does not necessarily ensue from that other exercise. Death may ensue because of her not keeping distance from the Member for Kisumu. view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: That is what may cause immediate death – not keeping distance. Hon. Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: Report of the joint meeting between the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on consideration of the Referendum Bill (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2020) and the Referendum (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2020). Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 9 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to give tribute to Simeon Nyachae. He has left an indelible mark in this country that should be emulated by us all. I want to mention one fact that has not been mentioned by my colleagues here. Simeon was so principled in his career that at a time when he felt that he could not work with the government as a Minister, he resigned. He had been transferred from the Ministry of Finance to the Ministry of Industry, but he decided to resign from that government. That is a mark that we should ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the first Petition. It puts in mind matters of NEMA. This is the umpteenth time that we have matters on NEMA and their lethargy in administering mining matters. view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: The country is depleted. It has mining sites and pits that are not rehabilitated or reclaimed. There are many examples to see. For example, along Thika Road, Ndaragwa Constituency, Kenol and between Kenol and Murang’a Town. This House and the country should re-think why we have NEMA. You can visit a site which has no ablution. You can see another site that was a wetland. I have spoken on matters of wetlands here. Our lives depend on them. If you visit many places, you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: will find buildings coming up in wetlands which are already reclaimed. For example, in Kiambu Road. The junction on the Northern Bypass and Kiambu Road is built up. Other examples are Ngong’ Hills and Murang’a Town. All these are matters of NEMA. As a country, we should ask ourselves these matters because our lives depend on the environment. What is the role of NEMA? Should this country have NEMA? Should we rehabilitate NEMA? Should we have a fresh NEMA with new or imported staff from Australia or elsewhere to administer our environment? view
