• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: So, I want to support it and say that it happened across the country. It did not only happen in Central Province. It was there in Embu, northern Kenya, western Kenya, Makueni and Mombasa. All communities in Kenya rose against the colonial government. There was a general policy by the British Government of giving Kenya, and many other countries in Africa, independence. However, they went on to torture innocent people. For that reason, it is clear that the British Government cannot get away with this. This sort of thing does not run out of time because it is criminal. We ... view

• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this constitutional Bill, which also has a timeline. As you have advised in relation to this Bill, a lot has already been contributed. It is a straight forward Bill. I did not hear Members previously say that the procurement and asset disposal law as it is currently constituted needs to be put under a new law. This is a very important law for the country, because it provides for how the country acquires assets and disposes of them. One of the major concerns in procurement in Kenya is ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: found guilty of any of the offences is supposed to be fined Kshs4 million or serve a jail term of 10 years. I will be proposing amendments to this area, so that we can have strict penalties for people who will commit offences under this Bill. Such offences deprive Kenyans of the money meant for developing this country. They are very closely related to corrupt practices. Therefore, I will move amendments to provide for strict penalties, depending on the seriousness of the offences committed and the amounts of money involved. What I am saying is that if somebody breaches the ... view

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, that is okay, but I still have an issue with the placement of the Vice President and the Deputy President immediately after the former President view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: It should be just below former Presidents, followed by former Vice Presidents and former Deputy Presidents. This is my proposal to the Mover of the Bill. view

• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Hon. Speaker, the Public Audit Bill, 2014 is one of the very important Bills in the country under the new Constitution. The role of the Auditor-General will go a long way to assist in solving the problem of corruption in the country and misuse of public funds.

• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: That is why it covers a wide range under the Constitution in terms of public organs, including Parliament. I have looked through the Bill and I am greatly concerned with part 8 where they talk about offences and sanctions. Clause 60 creates offences and sanctions. The officers employed under that office can commit certain offences, including corruption. If you look at the offences and the punishment proposed, any officer found in contravention of the law will be charged in a court of law by the DPP’s Office. The punishment proposed is a fine of Kshs10 million or five years in ... view
