• 20 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: There have also been situations where this House guides the Senate and vice versa, sometimes in words and manners that do not promote amity and comity of working together as the two Houses. That is why I believe this Bill is very important in deciding how best these two Houses are going to work. There have been situations where the Senate thinks it is a superior House. In fact, there is a situation where we have encouraged forum shopping. People think that when you go to the Senate, you get a better result than when you come to the National ... view
• 20 Mar 2024 in National Assembly: that we have passed but, when it comes to matters concerning these two Houses - their procedures and how they relate - it should be left to the good sense of the two Speakers and now, the good sense of the law that we are going to pass this morning to ensure that the independence of Parliament is sustained. For last 12 years, we have clawed back on the powers and privileges of Parliament that I hope that this Bill is able to return them. I support. view

• 29 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As Hon. Ruku was contributing, I imagined him receiving a message today at 6.00 p.m. about the death or the sickness of one of his staff in the constituency. I wondered whether he was going to call that constituency manager back. Or Hon. Ruku receiving information from one of his staff members that one of his campaigners is unwell or has an emergency. I wondered whether he would call them back or wait until working hours assuming we were to set them up. Therefore, it is good to think of the ramifications of ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: What about circumstances where work requires that they keep in touch throughout? Unlike what Hon. Oundo said, we are in a world where nowadays people work without seeing each other or where someone working in Europe is working for someone in Africa or Canada. Why would you want to limit their kinds of interactions in cases where they actually may make the work easier or better? I believe that this Bill is ill-guided and will not improve anything in the work environment. On the contrary, it will make the people who are already working lose their jobs. I imagine a ... view
• 29 Feb 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that the Petitions to Parliament (Procedure) (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.51 of 2022) be now read a Second Time. Public petitions are one of the very new and novel ways in which our Constitution made it mandatory to ensure that Kenyans participate in parliamentary proceedings. They are able to ensure that their concerns come to the Floor of Parliament. Just like anybody can petition the High Court of Kenya today, any Kenyan can also petition Parliament in whatever manner and form. This process of petitioning Parliament has been ongoing since the Constitution ... view
