• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the fact that our President assented to this law in January 2013, without any memorandum or any reservations is clear evidence that the Government supports the enactment of this law. This law has not been operationalised simply because the CS is sleeping on the job. As Parliament, we will pronounce ourselves by passing this amendment and I hope within two weeks, the law will be operationalised. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I even know of your law which we passed in the last Parliament. Very few Private Members had a chance to pass laws because of many constitutional laws ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment. The Chair has given the necessary clarity we required. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by– (a) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (k)– (ka) may, by order in writing and upon the recommendation by the Authority, order the cessation of any upstream petroleum operations where there has been a breach of any provision of this Act; (b) inserting the words “on the recommendation of the Authority” immediately after the word “may” in the opening clause of paragraph (l); view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Leader of the Majority Party, a leader of this House, to mention names of leaders of this Parliament especially the Leader of the Minority Party in the Senate as having gained from proceeds of tobacco? Can he substantiate or withdraw? This is a House of rules. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, it is a very good Bill. The county assemblies in our counties are new institutions and, as such, they need to put in place the necessary procedures and legislative framework for them to operate and function well. This is about vetting. When we vet, we do it for suitability for that position. It is to check the academic qualifications to ensure that the person is well qualified for the job as well as for integrity. It is important to give the ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Senate and in the National Assembly, are well-qualified for the job. We should change the law to ensure that they actually have degrees - if not a second degree, then at least the first degree. I am not sure we are up to the task as it is today. There are so many MCAs that I know, even in my own Marsabit County, who have not been to school. If they have, may be just up to Standard VII. While this is a very good Bill, I am not certain that the people we are giving these jobs have the ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I oppose this Bill because it has many fundamental issues that are not right. Those with vested interests in politics and leadership of this country cannot be players in the same game. If IEBC is to be independent as stipulated in our Constitution, then it should be left as an independent commission and the commissioners should be nominated in a very independent way. Secondly, the timing of this Bill is not appropriate. As a country, we have resolved to negotiate the political future and destiny ... view
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: 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
• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: If we have a competent IEBC Secretariat, we should be able to manage our elections without much problem. Thirdly, we have had issues with our periodic elections. We thank God that in the 2013 elections, we did not have chaos. With the Constitution, the people believed that the Supreme Court would adjudicate fairly on electoral matters. Whether they did it or not is for others to judge. That is not my duty at the moment. This country was not chaotic as it happened in 2007 simply because there was hope in the new Constitution and the institutions that were in ... view
