• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I only want to be given time to add to what you mentioned earlier. This Motion is very important that if passed and it finally comes to this Floor as a Bill, will assist the farmers back in the villages. The Members that are responsible for this Motion should take it very seriously. view
• 25 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support what the Chair has just said and disagree with Hon. Nyamai that, if we delete the section that talks about how to pick the vice-chair, then she has to bring an amendment on the same. We do not have that at the moment. So, unless she proposes an amendment on that, what she has in mind is irrelevant. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The picking of chairs in any parastatal in Kenya is a procedure. It is not something new that we have to discuss how it should be done. We know how much to pay the chairs and how much we pay board members. For this case, if we bring in the vice-chair, we must say how they should be paid. There is a standard procedure in Government on how they are paid. As discussed by the Chair, we were guided by the Mwongozo guidelines. In this case, I urge the Hon. Member to withdraw her amendment. Hon. Millie has agreed that ... view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: She does not have to agree with me. view
• 2 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I disagree with Hon. Millie because what we are talking about here is not the Board; it is the committee. The Members have said earlier that in the event that the Board is gazetted, it might not meet all the requirements in terms of expertise. You can co-opt in an event that you require an expert to assist the committee. This is a committee of the board. I disagree with Hon. Millie on this one. I do not have to agree with you, Hon. Millie. I am just expressing my opinion which is different from yours. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to personally wish you a happy new year on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of the great constituency of Aldai. I support this Bill. As I do so, it is also fair that I give a small history of the body that we are discussing. It is common knowledge that the Kenya Accreditation Service (KENAS) was a department in the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). It was very difficult for an institution to be compelled to conform when you are under the same roof. It is fair to ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thirdly, it will increase the accuracy of the parameters set in this country. If we have a body that compels other institutions to make sure that they conform to the set parameters, we will have better goods that can compete internationally. Instead of having so many bodies pretending to give their own parameters, it is better to have one body that makes sure that all of us conform to one particular parameter. It will also make it easy for exporters to do business instead of having many other bodies that require them to move their documents from point A to ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill is important for this county. Many of us have had experience with cases of cancer and it will be better to have an institution that takes care of conformity to the set standards of the items that come into the country and those that go out, so that we can compete fairly with other players out there. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I support the Motion. view
