• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the document I am holding which was tabled by Hon. Junet says there is a deal of agreement in respect of the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya being a coalition political party. My argument is that for the argument that Azimio is a coalition within the frame of 108 and 19 of Standing Orders 108 and 19 to stand, two things must have been done. One, register Azimio la Umoja as a coalition party, which was done. But, where is the Azimio la Umoja Coalition of Parties agreement to enable them claim that they are a coalition of ... view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: On one hand, there is a distinction between a coalition party, which exists, and a coalition of parties on the other. Azimio la Umoja is saying that they have two legs. Today we have only been given one leg. Where is the other one? view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me two more minutes. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 4 Oct 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the same law we passed here in May allows a Member of a party to be deemed to have resigned from the party if that Member forms another party, joins another party or talks about forming another party. The Movement for Democracy and Growth Party (MDG) has clearly, openly and publicly said that it is part of the Kenya Kwanza Coalition. Under that law, we request that you deem MDG to have moved from Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya Alliance to Kenya Kwanza Coalition. I submit. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My Question relates to what is going on in the country in terms of phone calls dropping. You could be on a phone call and you are told that the person you are calling is not available. I direct this Question to the Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communication and Technology: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain to Kenyans why there has been an occurrence of calls dropping midway or interference during phone calls, including unstable networks all over the country by mobile phone service providers for the last six months, leading to loss of business opportunities, ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am happy that Hon. Duale knows who I am. It is only Hon. Junet who does not know who I am, but I am sure he will soon know that I am a party leader. Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 83 to raise a point of order on fundamental matters relating to this House. Article 127 of the Constitution establishes the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). It is mandated to perform several functions, including the function necessary for the well-being of Members of this House. I have never been to my office in the Continental ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The functions of the PSC also find their home in the Parliamentary Service Act that this House passed in 2019. However, I note that there is a very huge disconnect between the Members that we chose as Commissioners of the PSC and this House. This is now my eighth year in this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: House. There is no single day where the Members of the PSC whom we elected have ever come to this House to report to us what they do for us and how they do it. When I lost an election and then I came back, I hoped that I would have an office in this new building. There is no report to us about what happens there. We just see contractors coming and going. We hear of tender wars. We do not know when they will finish the construction. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Although the Commission is independent, it exists because of the two Houses. Hence, it should be guided by Article 127 of the Constitution in its operations. I say this because there are a number of matters which my colleagues in this House agree with me that they are not headed in the right direction. On 1st March 2013, just two days to elections, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) issued a circular about terms of Members of Parliament in the 11th Parliament. The election was on 4th March 2013. As we speak, we are aware that the Members of the ... view
