• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Report. I am a Member of this Committee and a ranking one for that matter. What my Hon. Colleague has raised is true. During the Committee’s sittings, we found a few issues that can be corrected going forward. The absence of certain cadres, gender and religious groups in this particular Report is not a reflection that they were not there in previous appointments. It is only reflective in these appointments because the number appears to be big. For that reason, we felt that we cannot hold back the most qualified ambassadors or Kenyan ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As my Chairman has said, debate on this particular agreement was done and it was really extensive. One of the important things I want to bring to the attention of this House is that lack of ratification of this agreement means that we will continue to operate under the 1995 Agreement. That means Kenya will be losing out. Secondly, the current agreement might not be the best, but it is good considering what has preceded it. Up to now, the Italians are the ones with the advantage in operating the Luigi-Broglio Malindi Space Centre. Thirdly, what ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill, but just like my colleague, Hon. Wamalwa, I have a problem with this way of making laws. I think our laws should be implementable; they should be for posterity. But they should not create administrative encumbrances. The administrators should have the flexibility in terms of running the institutions. There are two areas in the Bill that my honourable colleague has proposed. I congratulate him for his Bill. First of all, it is talking about the payment for higher ranks. Secondly, is about retirement age. For those who have ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank Hon. Osotsi for bringing up the issue of IFMIS, but I tend to disagree with experts like Hon. Mbadi. If really IFMIS was a good thing, then today the financial management in this country would be one of the best. What we hear from the Auditor-General is that some of the pilferage, corruption and theft in this country is taking place through IFMIS. For that reason, I think the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation should dig deeper into whether Kenya needs IFMIS or we have ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this very important amendment by Hon. Andrew Mwadime. In this country, we have 42 different tribes, speaking different dialects. We are a nation of different people but for unity of purpose, we are one country. All of us believe whatever is there at the centre and whatever the Public Service Commission (PSC) is doing. Even we, the Members of Parliament (MP), are blind to it. We believe that they do what is right, fair and what will bring this country together to show the face of Kenya. So, for that reason, the ... view
• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Chairman for his response. However, I am worried. If that is where we are heading, we will be in a lot of trouble. If you have watched the international news of late, there is this fire in the USA that has destroyed towns and forests. It is almost out of control. As long as there is climate change that brings about things like strong winds and high temperatures, fires will be there. The important things are the measures we will put in place. There will always be poachers and hunters and gatherers ... view

• 17 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support this amendment and also thank the Chair of the Committee. I think this law, being a living document, shows the progressive nature of our laws. This is because the idea of surrogacy and adoption has always been considered to be a normal thing that can just happen outside the normal birth by mothers and the issue of parenthood. Therefore, the idea of bonding is really important. However, as the Chair has also said, this is a delicate balance between parenting and the employee. This is because the employer ... view
