• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, at this point I support this Bill. Maybe in the Committee of the whole House we can bring some substantive amendments so that we have a very good Mining Bill for this country. I support. Thank you. view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Report. The new Constitution was meant to provide seamless leadership between county governments and the national Government. The implementation of this Report is very important because we have so far seen a lot of confusion when it comes to leadership at the county level, where Members of Parliament do not know exactly what is happening. The Constitution is very clear under Article 6 which talks about co-ordination and consultation between the national Government and the county governments. That has not been adhered to. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: If you read Section 91 of the County Government Act, it says that the Governor shall provide a conducive environment in order to streamline development. We have seen duplication of development at the county level. In a constituency, the Member of Parliament allocates resources to one project and at the same time, it is allocated resources again by the county government, instead of those resources being channeled elsewhere. If we pass this legislation, it will sort out the problem of duplication of resources and provide seamless development. With regard to the issue of flying the flag, if you read Section ... view

• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I beg to oppose. Article 246 of the Constitution establishes the National Police Service Commission. Article 246(2) talks about the membership of the National Police Service Commission, in which the Inspector-General and the deputies are included. This means that the National Police Service Commission includes members appointed by the President, the Inspector-General and his deputies. Under Article 248 we also have the National Police Service Commission. Under Article 251(2) we have the removal of a member of any of the Chapter 15 Commissions. It provides that if anybody desires to remove a member of a Commission he or ... view
• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. This time round, I am not opposing, but I just want to give a precautionary note. It is very important for the National Police Service to have its own budgetary allocation. I hope this is not a scheme. We have seen it in the Office of the President (OP), where the people in that office resist the move to have the police have their own money. We have also seen it in several occasions – especially for some of us who come from insecurity prone areas - when you go to the I-G to ask for ... view
• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: We have seen it in OP. Anglo-leasing originated there in the name of security equipment. I hope this time round, as slow as I support the President at this point, I also want him to lead from the front in fighting to make sure that there is security in the country through the police having their own budgetary allocations. view
