• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in fact, I have just said that he swore in the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, but he seems to be now doing what… view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: However, all of them were like Nyasukta. Is it Nyasukta or Nyasuna? Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Mwongozo code of conduct is used in State corporations. According to the proposed Clause 10(g), the Board hires the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Long time ago, the minister of the relevant ministry used to hire CEOs as in the case with the current Cabinet Secretaries (CSs). When we bring that role to the Board according to the proposed clause, then the CEO will be more answerable to the Board. However, when the Chairperson or the Directors of the Board as well as the ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: It seems Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal has read my mind. Hon. Millie had brought up something very important, that being suspected is too general. She has come up with the word ‘accuse’ but again, you can be accused by your detractors. A mere accusation cannot make you to step aside. What we need is a legal term that the person is already on trial so that on conviction they will be summarily dismissed. However, when they are on trial, they can step aside so that they do not interfere with investigations. This should be once the investigations have commenced. It is ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: We had said that for separation of powers, the CEO should be appointed by the Board. Now, we are giving three names to the Cabinet Secretary to select and appoint one person. This is negating what we have earlier said and from Mwongozo . It is either that the Board gazettes and gives a letter or then let the Cabinet Secretary recruit. I oppose this amendment. It is wrong. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: This is according to Mwongozo . It is very normal that, in a State corporation, the corporation secretary should be a legal mind. It should be a lawyer because the corporation secretary will act as the corporation’s secretary as well as its legal advisor. The Board will be making policies and laws. It is just imperative that the secretary has a background in law. We support that one and I think you can put the question. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: That is why we are given the Order Paper in advance so that we can be able to go through it, see where we have a problem then raise it. However, the Question is put together unless, Hon. Millie has a problem with this. We had this Order Paper since yesterday. I think we have already gone through it. Some of us are faster than others and we have already read it and we cannot continue going one by one because it is organised in the Order Paper. It is not one by one, rather it is Clause 2 and ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: I withdraw and apologise to Hon. Millie Odhiambo Mabona. I am very sorry. I withdraw. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Put the Question. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you so much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill 100 percent. I have heard some arguments from some lawyers that there is client-lawyer confidentiality, and that there are some rights that they thought are infringed. However, remember your rights stop where mine begins. This country in terms of corruption has denied our mothers the opportunity for free maternity. Because of corruption, it has denied our children proper education. The poor go hungry and yet, there are billions of shillings snatched in banks by the corrupt. The National Youth Service (NYS) 1 and 2 took a ... view
