• 19 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The final point I wish to make is on the area of the environment with regard to taxation on electric cars and recycling plants. The introduction of this by the taxman should be welcome because one of the major concerns today that we experience is the issue of environmental degradation and climate change. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill by my friend, Hon. Jude Njomo. view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Fundamentally, what is before us is a Petition that has been filed by one Mr. Oduor. This House must look deeper into what was the strategy behind the filing of that petition. The strategy of the petitioner was to knock out interest rate capping that was unanimously passed by this House in 2016. If that position fails, it was to put aside the interest rate capping through very smart canvassing in the court. In this petition, what comes to light is that the CBK must be put in the spotlight in this case. Article 231(2) of the Constitution talks about ... view
• 11 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: rate. The banks should not go more than the 4 per cent of the set interest rate by CBK. A few fundamental constitutional points why this House must seize itself of this matter of finance and the economy of this Republic is Article 95(2) of the Constitution. That this House must discuss matters that resolve around issues of concern to our people. Article 95(4) of the Constitution on oversight, the CBK being an independent entity under the Constitution, this House must oversee its running. Its policies, deliberations and matters of jurisprudence over the banking sector in Kenya must be seen ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to raise an intervention on the matter of dressing in the House where one Member who belongs to a certain profession… Luckily, he has already left the Chamber before you picked him up. So, I rest my case. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill on the basis that we must start somewhere in making laws for this country. Also, we must improve on the existing laws. My clear understanding of the Bill before the House on the IEBC is that it is about improving on the existing law. I take cognisance of the issues that have been raised by Hon. Junet. He raised fundamental issues. If we say that the IEBC should be apolitical and should not take sides during an electoral contestation and we go further to argue that it must have political ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: lapses, the Commission will continue to be active. As it were, the idea of having one swoop of nomination of commissioners to an extent that if all of them resign at once, because they have been nominated as a group, then this country faces a constitutional crisis is not good. Finally, I strongly believe that as the representative of the people of Saku, if we must have a good IEBC, we must begin to think apolitically. So long as the political parties have their hands in the Commission, we will always blame the wrong people for the wrong things in ... view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I thank the Chief Justice. He pronounced himself clearly that although there is a case in court, he thinks that the court is not the proper place to settle this perceived dispute. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the two Houses have leaders. I do not understand why the Hon. Speakers of the two Houses are being dragged into this wrangle. Both the minority and the majority side have leaders who must dialogue. This is because, in Article 218 of our Constitution, the Division of Revenue Bill arrives in this House two months before the end of the financial year. That means there is enough time for dialogue, either on the Floor of this House or through consultation by the leadership. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The Division of Revenue Bill comes to the National Assembly as a negotiated document. This is because the origin of this document is the National Treasury; they are the ones who know what amount of money is available. It is not this House or the Senate that decides what amount of money is likely to be collected by the end of the financial year. So, it is a projection and we cannot base any facts and figures to try and nail down issues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
