• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: removed from the communities. We need to address that. I want to plead with the Committee, which is chaired by a progressive Chairman, to address that issue. The Chairman has to do that if he wants to contribute to the history of addressing the serious challenges communities are experiencing. He needs to go on record that he created an ideal community land law. We have an opportunity. Some of us are a living testimony. Our land has been repossessed. We cannot claim that the same aspirations that we had during the constitutional-making process are helping us to address these issues. ... view
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to oppose the Report of the Committee. 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
• 25 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we were in a meeting in Whitesands Hotel in Mombasa, when the TA members presented to us their report on the work remaining and how much they have covered. They presented a very compelling report to seek an extension of their mandate. According to the Report they provided, they indicated that with the tight schedule and challenges experienced in getting the necessary funds or allocations from the national Government, they have covered 60 per cent of the work and they are remaining with 40 per cent. During the meeting, and I know you were present; the ... view
• 24 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to second the Senate Amendments to the Climate Change Bill. These are crucial amendments which have created an agreement between the two Houses of Parliament. They seek to provide a more devolved implementation of climate change, which is a serious threat. I want to confirm that my county, an ASAL area, is experiencing serious effects of climate change. I second. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second the Report of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs presented by the Chair. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee Chair has clearly explained the credentials and qualifications of the nominees. The proposed nominee for Chairperson, Mr. Philip Kinisu, is a highly qualified financial expert. I want to confirm that he is not a lawyer, but he has international reputation in terms of financial aspects. What is unique in this appointment is that generally, the past Chairs were all lawyers who have either failed to end corruption or corruption escalated in this country during their tenures. I am persuaded that as a non-lawyer who is an expert in financial issues, he will end some of those corruption issues. view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The other issue about the Chair is that he is well endowed financially and is a senior citizen who might not be desperate to seek for more funds in a corrupt way. We are persuaded that he is well protected in terms of his retirement package. Out of the other four nominees, only one is a lawyer, as opposed to the tradition that saw most of the EACC Commissioners coming from the legal fraternity. The perception that lawyers are the best experts in fighting corruption is changing. The social sciences also have a role to play in the fight against ... view
• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: What is unique in this appointment is the nomination of three minority members: two female members and a male member from Northern Kenya. The EACC is struggling with staff whose capacity and commitment to fight corruption is doubtful. Ms. Rose Mtambo, a nominee; is a Human Resource Director at CIC. She is persuaded that she will contribute greatly in the human resource function. So, we were all persuaded that she will contribute greatly in the cleaning process of human resource aspect. I second the adoption of this Report. Thank you. view

• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to contribute on the previous Motion, but I will do it. My contribution will be very general. It was necessary that the Government and the President of the Republic of Kenya fast-tracked the appointment of PSs. It will add some value but I am a worried Kenyan. Kenya is experiencing an economic crisis and financial constraints. Many Kenyans are not getting good public service because of the huge wage Bill. I was shocked when the President increased the PSs from 20 to 41. I thought that the President would appoint a lean ... view
