• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: So, as I support this Motion, I would agree that, as indicated by the Chair in the Report and in keeping with the requirement, we would need to approve the Report. We are aware that the Auditor-General’s eight-year term is coming to an end. It would be extremely important that given the backlog that we have and given the need to play oversight role, we need to have the Office of the Auditor-General audited by an external auditor. If we do that, we would be in a position to see that what the Auditor-General has been indicating is something worth ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: As I conclude, we have seen as a House that a number of times there have been recommendations that have come through the Auditor-General’s reports. That has come through the committees where they have recommended action to be taken. An outstanding one that I recall is that of the pending bills and the kind of repercussion that this has. By approving the award of this tender, it will go a long way in helping us. It would not only add momentum and energy, but truly get to see public funds that are used and that are assigned to Ministries, departments ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, I pass my condolences to the family and constituents of the late Hon. Ken Okoth and Her Excellency Hon. (Dr.) Joyce Laboso. These were outstanding leaders and we are humbled. We are challenged to see the extent to which we can follow their mantle. We would like to express our greatest condolences. Since we already have a national cancer centre which seems to be facing the challenge of limited funding, we as Parliament - as a commitment and a legacy - could commit to try and follow up this issue and provide necessary resources. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you and support the Report. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to support the Petition and thank my colleague, Hon. Sankok. He has brought in an issue that has been all over in the social media and the region we come from. The issue of Kibos School and the children living with disabilities in this country requires urgent attention. I am happy that the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will take up this issue and come to the aid of these children. Persons with disabilities in this country are vulnerable. You can imagine these are children with disabilities who are looking for education. It ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the amendment. I also thank the Chair, Hon. Maina Kamanda. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: If ever there is a time that we need cohesion in this country, it is now. I am surprised that it has taken over two years to have such a critical body that seeks to help us put aside our historical injustices and have equity. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy with the amendments. There is nowhere in this country or in the world where you can have commissioners or officers in place without a clear law that guides how the people are to be selected and appointed. It is good that our lawyer out there, our pro bono lawyer in the name of Okiya Omtatah has tried to put sense into this country. Okiya Omtatah speaks for very many of us in this country who otherwise would not have that opportunity to speak and bring such amendments to this House. He requires special recognition. For many of ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: I want to challenge the President. This provides a rare opportunity for the Head of State to ensure that the commissioners who will be brought to the House are learned men and women who come from minority communities. Article 54 of the Constitution talks about issues of persons with disabilities. People with disabilities in this country have for a long time been forgotten. An opportunity presents itself in the name of commissioners who will come to this House for approval. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Bill. I would also like to indicate that, as a member of the Committee, I would not take much time. I want to inform the Hon. Member that one of the reasons why the Committee reduced the length of experience from 15 years to a lower figure was in recognition that we have in terms of diversity of our people who are young and qualified. We did this with the specific objective of opening the dimension for those who are young. What I want to highlight, as I ... view
