• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Clause 34 on the procedure for the removal of the County Governor, the proposal the Minister has put before the House is that any Member of the County Assembly who will have the support of at least one-third of all the Members, can initiate a process of removing the Governor under Article 181 of the Constitution. I think this is unfair. First of all, yesterday I said that for the Speaker of the County himself or herself the requirement is 75 per cent and I have said that was wrong. We should go to the ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Why would you want a Motion to be initiated to remove the Governor to require just one-third? We are speaking about a maximum of 25 people who will be elected as county representatives. Getting eight people to file a Motion to harass a Governor who has been elected from across the county is not right. It does not sound right; it can create a situation where there are eight people from different parties and things like that. What will be happening is that we will be having Governors spending a lot of time trying to do things which will have ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is obvious that Dr. Khalwale is not following my argument. What I am saying is that if you look at the County Speaker--- I need my time because I have other things to say! view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: If you look at what I said yesterday, and the HANSARD bears me out, the requirement is that 75 per cent is the majority threshold that is required to remove the County Speaker and I said that, that is a dictatorship. That means that the Speaker will never be removed. So, I said that we should go to the normal requirement of two-thirds majority. I am telling the House, and the nation, that the requirement here in Clause 34, which is dangerous, is for the County Governor--- The proposal by the Minister is for just one-third of the County Assembly ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that in this House, for example, we have 210 Members. Anyone can initiate that process; but in the county we will have a maximum of 25 elected people. How difficult is it to get eight people to harass a Governor? Just eight people to initiate a Motion! view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now, I am arguing that,that is wrong! We should have initiation by two-thirds. That is my argument, and an argument is an argument! view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come to Clause 36 which talks of the Governor and his proposals for those people who will hold the position of County Executive Members. He is supposed to make the proposals on So-and-so and then the County Assembly should approve, as provided in the Constitution. One of the things that has been put here, and which is very dangerous, is that contrary to the constitutional principle that one-third of all leadership should be of a different gender--- The argument that has been proposed by the Minister is that the County Assembly Members will be a ... view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to propose that in the same Clause 36, it should not be necessary for the County Executive members to be told that they must be degree holders. I, again want to say that we make it a post-secondary education requirement. I wanted to propose again, in terms of the removal of County Executive members, that there be a requirement that the removal should be--- view
