• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I now move that notwithstanding the provisions of the Standing Order, the said three Members be suspended from the services of the House for a period of not less than--- view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am just seeking direction though hon. (Eng.) Gumbo has just moved. The limit of the Bill is only three hours. Assuming that we allow people to speak for 30 minutes, some of us might not be able to contribute to it. It is a very important Bill. Much as you have directed that one needs not take all the 30 minutes, it is dangerous. Assuming that you give the Floor to a professional, he will speak for 30 minutes. Maybe, you need to re-direct, so that we do not have just six or seven people ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to bring to your attention the fact that hon. Okoth of Kibra crossed to this other side and collected two cards from--- Maybe it is now for him to return the cards where he got them, because there are Members who were here, and left their cards behind. That he went and plucked the cards from the places they were left is not acceptable. This is the kind of conduct that we are talking about. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know the Standing Orders were amended regarding Statement issuing and how we are supposed to ask questions, but issues are now emerging. Maybe we will need to get further guidance on what we can do about issues which are coming up that need some urgent answers. I am talking about the status of the football in the country. You are aware now that the federation which is in charge of the management of football, the Kenya Football Association (KFA)--- There is going to be a lot of issues based on the Kenya Premier League (KPL) and ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: people who are earning their living out of football are going to be messed up by having two leagues running concurrently. The corporate world is going to run away from football. I do not know how we can address this through the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Arts. Now, this weekend there is uncertainty by these young people. The referees, players and other stakeholders within the football family are going to be affected. We left the federation to address the situation, but it has been unable. The International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) came here but they have been unable ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to air my views regarding this very important Bill which, as you earlier indicated, is a constitutional Bill. view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: The Office of the Auditor-General is a very important office in this country. It is very unfortunate that so much has not been done in this office regarding corruption for so many years. This is because, as we have the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Auditor-General, who has the responsibility of going through the accountability of every public institution, has always fallen short of what they are supposed to do. So many matters have been raised in Parliament and in other areas regarding the Office of the Auditor-General. One of the issues that have always been raised is about the ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: mechanisms to have money intended for a particular purpose diverted to Recurrent Expenditure. I will particularly say this about Nakuru County. People say that there is a very high wage bill and counties continue to employ; you miss the point they are explaining. If money has been set aside for development, then it must go to development, and that development should be done according to the percentage given in the Budget. This is what will increase growth of the economy and the counties in general. Therefore, not only should we check corruption but should also check wastage and diversion of ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Lastly, Clause 8 is about the determination of remuneration. It stipulates details, subject to Article 230. We need to be careful here. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission is the body that has been vested with the responsibility of saying how much should be given in terms of remuneration. This Bill seeks to give the same function to the Auditor- General, so that he can decide how much money his employees should be given. This is something we need to look into and come up with some amendments. The powers found under Clause 9 are very important. They will enable the ... view
