• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: That does not mean we blame him for no mistake of his. In any case, if the money is there and it is yours genuinely and you have been asked to state where you are taking it, just say where you are taking it and then you will withdraw it. They will not stop you from taking it. They will just ask you where you are taking it. If you want to bank a lot of money in cash and they ask you where you have got it, if you are selling camels, say it and show them that you ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice in thanking the House leadership for bringing this Motion so that we can speed up the time that Private Members’ Bills come to the House. All the same, I have two questions. The Chair of Budget and Appropriations Committee said that they had actually passed 41 Bills, but here we have 33 Bills, where are the other eight Bills? One of the major functions of a Member of Parliament is to legislate and that legislation does not restrict the Member of Parliament to just legislate on behalf ... view

• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: (Amendment) Bill by Hon. Pukose which is listed here but I have not seen it... But the other two, Hon. Millie Odhiambo’s and Hon. Wangwe’s, we disposed of them. So, if there has been any delay with them going for publication, it cannot be blamed on the committee. I have also had a slight experience in this when I tried to bring a Bill. You really have to chase after it; it does not move unless you keep chasing after it. The bureaucracy of Parliament has increased to such an extent that unless you chase up things, nothing moves. Yet ... view

• 18 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I support the nomination of Maj. (Rtd) Mbarak. This is a fine officer from the military intelligence corps who formed NIS at the beginning. They are very refined people and I am sure he is up to the task. However, he needs to be very aware that Kenya is one large criminal enterprise where people steal money, land, votes, exams and even degrees. We have thrown him in the deep end and he had better be ready to act. The problem with Kenya is the national psyche. We have never grown up ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second the amendment by Hon. Junet because it is within the Committee in the sense that new information coming in will need further audit review. This is because there is an implication that those metrological establishments are considered as security installations. So, the Auditor-General needs to relook at it and this will be in the next Report which we will submit to the House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this chance to also make my contribution to this Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill. Elections in this country are a complex event. They are so complex that unless we put in a law, we will definitely not have the number of women that we require. We must put in a law so that we are able to get the requisite number of women as dictated by the Constitution. Despite the constitutional dictate, it is important that we also add women to our leadership in this country. Several countries have been unable to do this, including ... view
