• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: This is purely a Bill that creates an enabling environment for businesses to transact. It is a very disturbing issue that a Government, which is the largest buyer in the economy, cannot pay. The issue is not that the Government is not able to pay; rather it is Government officials who want to trade to make their money in between without doing any business. They are employed by a pen and they want to use that pen to make some millions of shillings in their favour. What happens in most of these situations is that a Government official creates future ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: This commitment, through this Bill, that the payment is made within 90 days if it is not written... Normally, in the LSOs from the Government side, they never commit how long they will take to pay. It is just written: This is a Government LSO. There is no mandatory commitment and, therefore, since it is Government, we say it is perpetual. It will never die. I will die and leave the Government of Kenya. You commit and end up in shit. That makes it difficult. I am happy the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning has concurred with the ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: debt. Once that Committee is established, through other committees on Special Funds and the rest, we will have to monitor and really understand that we are able to control debt. The Executive can be put to check so that pending bills do not rise to an alarming extent. I support the Report and thank you. view
• 24 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Persons with Disabilities Bill (National Assembly Bill No.61 of 2021). This Bill is very timely. It is coming to answer the concerns that are enshrined in the Constitution under the Bill of Rights. No constituency, village or area does not have a person with disability. Looking at the timeframe since 2001 to date, we have not been able to correct the Act. The Constitution that was promulgated in 2010 actually took over so much that has been missing in the 2001 Act and the current position. Section 19 (2) emphasises on ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Being disabled does not mean that you are unable to work. If you look at persons with disabilities, it is not automatic that every part of their bodies are disabled. One person might have a defect on the hand, an eye or a particular ailment. However, that does not mean that he is unable to work. When you segregate him because of his physique, it means that you are making his family or dependents not to live normal lives as it is supposed to be. view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Most of the good work of the artisans or craftspeople is done by persons with disabilities. They concentrate more than normal people. Therefore, being disabled does not mean that a person is unable to deliver anything as far as a human being is concerned. We are all candidates of disability. At any one time, a person can be normal. When he rises up the following day, he can be disabled. If you look at the scenario of what my sister and Hon. Member has just given, it is evident that we are all candidates. Hon. Dennitah Ghati and I were ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: I also want to walk the path of Hon. Makali Mulu to wish that Hon. Sankok takes it easy at this very hard moment following what happened to his family. He debates in this House. He sits for more hours than most of my colleagues. He sits from morning on Wednesday. He is always the first one to enter into this Chamber in the morning, and the last one to leave. That does not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: mean he does not have work to do. He does other things but he is patient. He commits himself to work for the 6.5 million people he represents in this House. Therefore, being disabled does not mean that you can be segregated on that basis. If this law is well enforced, let us see various persons with disabilities getting assignments and jobs. view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Another perfect example of a person with disability is our Principal Secretary (PS), Ms. Josephta. She is the first PS who is disabled. Despite the fact that she has disability of her nature, she writes very smart handwriting. I salute her. She is very eloquent and capable of working. I thank the President for considering her for the appointment. view
