• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank the Mover of this Motion. The Motion is very important to the East African Community and Kenya in particular. This 11th Parliament is quite blessed to have a Committee on Regional Integration under the Standing Order 212. Some of the functions of that Committee are to inquire and examine all treaties and laws that would affect the EAC and our country. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am also alive to the fact that there was a disconnect between the previous Assemblies and the current Assembly in the sense that any treaty that was signed before did not find its way into this House in view of the fact that there was no Committee that dealt with issues of regional integration. Today, courtesy of the 10th Parliament we are blessed to have the Regional Integration Committee. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As a lawyer, I am alive to the provisions of Article 2(5) and (6) that expressly allow any treaty that has been ratified by the Republic of Kenya to become operational in Kenya. This, therefore, means that all the terms and conditions that go with that treaty or agreement would automatically affect each and every citizen of this Republic. We have seen this happen through the ICC and the other treaties that have been signed and persons, at the end of the day, claim not to have known the consequences of that action. It is with this in mind that ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I, therefore, move under Standing Order 96 and request that this debate be adjourned. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate, with all humility the work of this Committee. We appreciate them for taking time to go through the names of the nominees. I support this Motion. I have looked at the qualifications of Mr. Ali Noor Ismael. I find him to be a man who understands what he is supposed to do. He was involved in the revival of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK). We all know where NBK was during the time of the late Marambii – May God rest his soul in eternal peace. He brought the bank to where ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion as amended and state that yesterday was about to become the darkest day of my life as a County Member of the National Assembly (CWR). That is because before I came to this House, I saw what Members of Parliament from Meru did to the people of Meru. There was no other way the mwananchi could “feel or touch” the Government other than through CDF. CDF is the heart and soul of the common mwananchi . Therefore, when the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee agreed that the Motion be ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: And Mr. Atwoli as hon. Angwenyi reminds me. view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Sossion was able to tell members of the Republic of Kenya what it involves to be a Member of Parliament. He expounded on the representative capacities of a Member of Parliament. I appreciate the cry and clamour for funds that are being asked by the governors. But I think somebody somewhere is not reading the Constitution right. That is because the Constitution, under the transitional provisions, Article 15, clearly says that devolution is a phased process. It does not happen in a night or day. So, even as this House allocated Kshs210 billion to devolution and they sought to ... view
• 20 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support this Motion and appreciate what hon. Kinoti has done in ensuring that the services of education are brought closer to the people. When we speak about devolution, we do not speak about the basis services without establishing how these services will be implemented. This Motion is a practical example of devolution because you find that the county director of education who has been seconded to a certain county does not even know the terms of reference that he is supposed to deal with. I think this is a very innovative way of ... view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank hon. Zuleikha for bringing this Motion and appreciating the talents that our youth have in this day and age. One of the achievements of the new Constitution is that it has recognised the rights of each and every individual to participate in decision-making towards the development of this country. One of the things that we can do as a county is to empower our youth, who already have talents and skills. Having set up the NYC, there is no reason as to why it should not be given the ... view
