• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me highlight three main proposals in this Bill aimed at strengthening and properly anchoring the Court’s role and operations. Clause 11 of this Bill proposes to introduce a new Section 11A, which speaks to aspects of case management and promotion of use of technology aimed at ensuring efficient operations of the Court. As Members will appreciate, the Court of the future may not necessarily be physical where you will have to appear in person to file documents or make submissions. I have seen courts in advanced countries employ fully equipped digital services to allow for flexibility and, ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I commend my colleagues for their input to this Bill. Hon. Wanyonyi has put it very clearly. It is a Bill to reorganise the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). For the JSC to have an Act of Parliament, it is required by law that it is only this House that can do what they want done. Amendments to the law can only be done in this House so that they can reorganise themselves. It is a proposal which was forwarded to us from them. As a Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, allow me to thank the Chair of PAC. A vehicle is always as good as the driver. There has been Chairs who have not delivered to the level that he has delivered. The driver is a good one. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: You can have a new car and you get a lazy driver who will definitely not get you to the destination at the time you deserve. Therefore, I appreciate you and the two sides of the House. They chose the right Members to support the Chair. We have luminaries of this House in PAC such as Hon. Aden Duale. The Vice-Chair of the Committee is such a serious Member, in terms of numbers. That is why you can see that the composition of the Committee is good. That is in line with what we passed here today in the Report ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: I will go back to the Report. There is the issue of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which has been raised. I want to take it from the perspective of compensation. The cost of compensation is even bigger than the cost of the project. It loses meaning that we borrow money from foreign investors but when it comes to our natural resources, which we need to lay the project on, they are more expensive than the cost of the project. It does not make sense. This comes with the contribution of Kenyans whom we have entrusted with the resources to ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: I applaud the Committee. They have captured the spirit of many Kenyans. Those three people who have mishandled the project will be put to task. Those Kenyans who were given the mandate to manage the National Lands Commission (NLC) cannot get another public job elsewhere to go and mismanage other projects. This is the spirit of the late Hon. Mwai Kibaki. He said that you could not transfer a thief from a particular Ministry to another one just because you The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: wanted to play a game and say that you transferred him. If he has stolen and there is evidence, send him home or to prison so that he does not become an obstacle in managing public funds. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: I commend the Committee. I wish those who are in the Executive can live up to the Report of PAC. People should remember that during vetting by the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, one of the elements we look at when somebody is nominated by the President for public appointment is whether he has ever been indicted in a parliamentary Report. That is a good thing we will live up to. God willing, if we come back here during the 13th Parliament and such person’s name brought to this House for vetting, we will axe it. Let it be known ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Prompt Payment Bill (Senate Bill No.16 of 2021). view
