• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Bill but most of the speakers who have just spoken before me have concentrated their efforts on the procurement aspect and forgetting the disposal aspect of it.

• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: be maintained for, at least, six years.

People leave office and after a few years, in case of any issues, they go scot free because documents cannot be traced. That requirement is very important. The basic procurement rules talk about the responsiveness of a tender. This is also very important. In most places, in a certain tender, if you do not have three or four interested parties, it is not a responsive tender. It may have ... view

Now that you have given that ruling, I now move that notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order No.110, the said three Members be suspended from the services of the House for a period of eight Sitting days, including the day of suspension, for gross disorderly conduct, and the reasons are as my colleague, hon. Benjamin Langat, has stated. view

During my tenure for ten years that I was the Mayor--- view
