• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The few amendments in this Bill remove all the ambiguities. They give a clear timeframe to the authorities concerned in terms of what they are mandated to do. I am talking about the commission of inquiry, the Senate as well as the presidency. When it comes to suspension or termination of a county government, these are the three major organs that have a role to play. In addition to giving clear roles and mandates, it also provides a very clear timeframe for necessary actions to be taken by the three authorities, namely, the Senate, commission of inquiry and the presidency. ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I agree with my colleagues that the Senators in the 11th Parliament did not, just as the current ones in the 12th Parliament, commit their time to do what they were supposed to do according to the Constitution. That is why we have supremacy battles about functions that are clearly provided for this House to undertake. There is an ambiguity in the Constitution. It says that the Senate is responsible for anything that affects the counties. The Fourth Schedule in the Constitution clearly states the functions of the county governments and the national Government. However, Senators still want to be ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: This House is largely very clear on its role. The Senate can learn from us. We, however, commend them for this Bill. We hope more Bills, similar to this one, will come from that House. view

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Initially, I was supporting the mover of this amendment, Hon. Tunoi, but I have substantially been convinced by the Leader of the Majority Party that this issue has been catered for within our existing laws. I, therefore, do not see the need to over-legislate as the Leader of the Majority Party clearly stated. In light of this, I oppose this amendment. view
• 20 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Bill.

This constitutional provision is not a favour we are doing to our women. It is actually a constitutional mandate or obligation on our shoulders as parliamentarians. It has taken us a while to pass this ... view
