• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Chairman of the National Cohesion and Equal Opportunity Committee. There is the issue of profiling MPs to the extent that they are not able to do anything yet we are given that mandate by the Constitution. It is a high time that the citizens of this country realised that MPs are elected by the people of this country. They are not elected from Uganda or Tanzania. They are elected by the citizens of this country. It is funny that Kenyans trust other institutions more, including Principal Secretaries and Cabinet ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support my brother and friend, Hon. Maina Kamanda, for bringing this particular Bill. Thank you very much. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I donate two minutes each to Mhe. Gedi and Hon. Tonui. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to reply. Let me thank the Members who have contributed to this Bill. Members are complaining that they are also supposed to be in the commissions. I want to tell Members that before we were taken to court, in the list that we had shortlisted of 54 persons, this Committee had even proposed more than six former MPs to be in it. This is because we believed those are leaders who understand the issues of the country. Having lost an election does not mean that you cannot serve somewhere else and, maybe, ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: One of the areas I want to stand with Members is where we keep on saying that Members of Parliament cannot be Members of County Assembly (MCAs). I agree with Members. We will move an amendment as a Committee so that we say state officers. I agree with Hon. Mbadi and my senior here, Hon. Angwenyi. It will not be repeating the words “Hon. Members and MCAs” as if they are the only people who are state officers. Many of those other people are state officers. It is good to put it and we are going to move an amendment ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: On the issue of hate speech, we will work very closely with the new commission that will be put in place. You can now see it is more than nine months without having the commission. This will not be the last amendment. This is just an amendment to bring the commission in place. There will be other amendments. Even the Senate is doing an overhaul of that amendment. 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
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I strongly support the amendment by Hon. Moses Kuria because we have seen the suffering of Small and Medium- sized Enterprises (SMEs) in this country. We came up with the access to Government procurement opportunities that made young people, women and people with disabilities run to banks with their LPOs, get loans to supply to procurement entities and today they have been auctioned. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, even though I support the amendment, I am still persuaded by what Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ has said; that, we might be opening a Pandora’s box. We need to be specific on the interest rates. So, this is a proper amendment coming at a time when Kenyan businessmen and women are suffering and wondering what to do as their properties get auctioned. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is good that we have timelines but we must be very careful about the timelines we are putting in law. We are now assuming that the Attorney-General does nothing else or has nothing else but he is waiting for this voluminous document, and he may have many of them that he needs to deal with. You also know that sometimes if this voluminous document is not looked at very keenly, it can put us in real trouble as a nation. We have witnessed some contracts that have put us in a very precarious position as ... view
