• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: provisions in the same law, the first one takes precedence over the other. One would say that the advisory note contradicts Article 101 of the Constitution because the import of Maraga’s advisory is to dissolve Parliament. Article 101 provides for dissolution of Parliament and calling for general elections. I stand to be challenged by any lawyer here. Where there are two conflicting provisions in law, the first provision takes precedence. Article 101 comes first in the Constitution. So, if we take it that it takes precedence, Article 261 (7) flops. Fourth, Wanjiku has sovereignty over this country. Wanjiku is the ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I hope that in future, proper emphasis will be afforded to Article 259 as the guiding Article to any interpretation, whether it is advisory or constitutional and that Wanjiku is the supreme authority not Maraga in as far as the Constitution is concerned. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I seek your indulgence to combine my statement with Order Nos. 10 and 11. This is because the answer is the same. view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When the Senate Bills No. 27 and 25 were remitted to the House and my Committee, there was no report on public participation. Consequently, we requested the Clerk to advertise for public participation on 11th March this year and 30th June this year respectively. This has been done. No reports on public participation and no response has been received by my Committee. Consequently, my Committee will now sit to consider these two Bills and then give a report to this House. So, I am asking for two weeks to enable my Committee deliberate and ... view
• 30 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I wish to give an example of the late judge Lord Baron Denning. He was so famous even in parliamentary circles. At the age of 87, when he retired, the British judge was perhaps, the greatest judge in the Commonwealth in the last century. It is at that age of 87 years that he was giving the very best equitable judgements. So, I will allay those fears about my Committee which has senior Members of this House. They are capable. I think we shall deliver. view
• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I congratulate my sister, Hon. Wanga, for the good synopsis of the whole Bill. Good laws do not operate in vacuums. They operate because of the will power, manpower and people’s supervision. I hope that under the proposed regulations that will be formulated by the Cabinet Secretary, there shall be space for daily physical supervision of every credit advanced. All good enterprises thrive through government interventions. I can give a lot of examples. Look at the late Tata. He thrived through Indian government intervention for credit. He was a small man, ... view

• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: I remember with a lot of nostalgia, the old system I worked under of guaranteed minimum return. That was a government intervention. And this country never faced any famine. If you look at the early years of Independence, there was not a single year that we experienced cereal or any other grain shortage, because of the intervention that existed. Lethargy set in in credit supervision and that famous company collapsed. So, I appeal that we provide supervision. This credit lacks the sense of basic collateral. That will facilitate the entry of our people in enterprise. Thank you very much. I ... view
