• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: continues to witness cases of abduction, some in broad daylight, and extrajudicial killings by police officers especially during demonstrations against corruption and the high cost of living. It is worrying that while some of those who were abducted have been found alive, others have been murdered and their bodies dumped in swamps, dump sites and mortuaries across the country. Additionally, whereas police officers are required to identify themselves, officers in civilian clothes have in the recent past failed to identify themselves while targeting peaceful protesters and abducting citizens across the country. This has caused distress to the families and the ... view
• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: I know this is not a small matter and I would wish that the Chairman and his Committee take their time to deal with this matter conclusively. view
• 14 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This House is setting a very bad trend lately. We cannot be whining about the Senate every The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for informationpurposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: time the Senate is called. The Senate is the cage of the Constitution. Every time something goes to the Senate, this House whines like cry-babies. We must live within the law. This House is the one that allowed the last Inspector-General to be vetted by the Senate and the National Assembly. Why do we keep on vomiting and wish to leave that same vomit? Let us live with our laws. The National Assembly accepted to be doing a joint vetting. We should stop pointing fingers at the Senate all the time. This House is becoming a child play. Every time ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to wholeheartedly support this particular nomination. If you are looking for competence, erudition, integrity, patience, comportment and composure, that gentleman - that doctor - has shown that you can serve in any capacity with dignity and without making noise. Dr. Patrick Amoth has been where he has been for all those years, and I have not heard any single Luo, or anybody from Siaya, claiming that he has been targeted. I have not heard any Luo saying that he is not being promoted because of tribalism. That gentleman has acted in his capacity ... view
• 1 Aug 2024 in National Assembly: If there is anybody who has stabilised the Ministry in terms of turmoil, it is him. We saw Dr. Patrick Amoth going out during strikes - not just recently but over the years - and speaking to his colleagues in the profession with grace and humility. I want to thank the President and both Houses, Senate and the National Assembly, for doing a good job. I hope that future nominations for offices will follow this methodology. I know there is no Kenyan today who would come and say that he is not qualified. I do not think there is any ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Supplementary Appropriation (No. 2) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2024) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 31 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: I oppose this amendment. I imagine that the Chairman would say that the CEO should have experience in the cotton industry, and not necessarily a master's degree. This industry has been facing many challenges. Most people in this area have been learning and amassing experience. In my opinion, too much ado about a master’s degree will not add value to this sector. I plead with the Chairman to reconsider the issue of master’s degree. This country has so many people with experience and can do a good job. However, there are people who just move. He gets a bachelor's degree ... view
• 31 Jul 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I have heard Hon. Nabii and Hon. (Dr) Oundo. You have already given a license, there is a farmer or a person running a ginnery and going on with what he is supposed to do. We must give discretion for the person who goes to supervise and witness how that factory is being run. We should have some discretion. If we now feel that 14 or 15 days and the person who is running this has invested in close to Ksh1 billion and what is required to be done requires a month, we would have tied down ... view
