• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to add one or two words concerning the Public Service Commission Bill. The Mover mentioned that this Bill would have regulations. I am sorry I have not read it, but the Mover said that this Bill defines how the DPP can be removed from office. If my reading of the Constitution serves me well, I thought the Office of the DPP has security of tenure. If you want to remove from office anybody who has a security of tenure, you have to go through the route of a tribunal. I ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Probably you are not following me. I am talking about the Commission giving three names to the President. That is what the Bill provides. view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also talk about secondment. It is good that now it has been defined. As we have transited from the old Constitution to the new Constitution and with the advent of county governments, there are quite a number of public servants who were transferred to the counties. Most of them have gone through a lot of problems. Once there is a law in place that defines what we need to do with these public officers, it becomes easier. I know of some of them who have gone to county governments and in the ... view
• 30 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: As I complete, as we form the next cadre of PSs, it is important that we have the face of Kenya in that cadre of workers. With three people being proposed to the presidency, that can go a long way in curing that problem. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am going to look at the Bill properly and I think I will come up with one or two amendments, especially on the aspect of the DPP. I know he has security of tenure. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I will agree with the Committee on this and reject the Senate’s proposal, but not very much in e(i) but e(ii). You remember very well that we had rejected this Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) when we were dealing with the Petroleum Bill yesterday. We said it is a body that is amorphous. It is not very clearly defined in law. Because of that, I reject the Senate’s amendments. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support this Bill on bribery. I will start off from what the President said recently. When he was talking to contractors who are building roads, he said it is ridiculous for a kilometre of tarmac to cost Kshs120 million. When you translate this to many things, that is why it is very expensive to do business in this country. One area that we all know and have gone through is the area of contracts. That is where most of the bribes are given. I will give you another example. Since ... view

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: bridges. The most expensive that I have done is going to cost us Kshs5 million. Recently, one of the bridges that were built during the colonial days collapsed and I asked the people from the Ministry concerned with public works to come and give us an estimate of how much it will cost. We were given a cost of Kshs31 million yet it is a small bridge. I looked at it and I almost cried because the difference between the bridges we are constructing, which are of good quality, and what the Ministry is going to do, is almost 10 ... view

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: most, Kenyans of goodwill will give him a second term. If somebody passes a word to the President of Kenya, that would be my message to him. Let him come out, work and step on people’s toes, even if they are very close to him, and Kenyans will vote him back in 2017. As a country, we cannot keep on crying about cartels. As the former Chief Justice said, this is a country of bandit economy. We need the Head of State to sort out this country. view
