• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: leaving out others? view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, he selectively picked on two counties, namely Turkana and Nairobi County Governments, which are ODM-led. Why did he not pick on any of the other counties? Is it fair for him to state that those county governments, which are being led by ODM governors, are being mismanaged? Is it in order? view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I gladly second this Motion on Senate Amendments to the Water Bill. I appreciate our Senators. For sure, they added value. They even brought in some new concepts like “geo-referencing” to the Bill. When we say we reject this or that, it is to ensure that we tidy up the Bill and ensure that there are no ambiguities within the Bill. When we have the mediation meeting, I am sure we will agree and they will see the sense as to why we felt differently. We felt that the chairmen of the proposed basin authorities ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Government may not be enough. It may require co-financing by donors and even county governments. We felt that using the Equalisation Fund and other resources from the county governments may enable us to achieve the targets to ensure most Kenyans have access to clean water. We hope we will convince the Senators that there is value to this during the mediation process, so that they allow such funds to be used as co-financing or marching-up funds in those water projects. The Senate came up with a definition for “wetlands”. In the entire body of the Bill, “wetland” is not mentioned ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, is the Member in order to tell us that men and women were created together? Is that from the Bible we know or has it changed of late? I am a Christian. The Bible says that man was created alone and later on, out of a rib of the man, a woman was created. Is the Member in order to mislead the House? view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, implementation of the resolutions of this House is an issue that we must take seriously as legislators. In the 10th Parliament, coming up with the Committee on Implementation was one of the most innovative things we did. As a House we 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
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: pass resolutions but the Executive delays or blatantly refuses to implement them. We came up with the Committee on Implementation so that a resolution of this House is not passed in vain. Today, we do not have the Executive in the House but we only have Members from the two sides. Unless we have teeth to bite and resolutions we pass implemented, this House will never be taken seriously by the Executive. The Committee on Implementation must play its key role. If the Executive is not willing to abide by the decision they make, this House is ready to play ... view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I gladly second this Motion on the Climate Change Bill. I served as a member of the Mediation Committee on this Bill. We worked with some very fine Senators. Actually, it was not mediation but a meeting of minds. We were able to resolve all the issues within one meeting. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I really want to congratulate my colleague and friend, Hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo. It has been a long journey for him because I served with him in the 10th Parliament. This Bill went for assent to the President and the Government had a position that they were not fully consulted. They advised the President not to assent to this Bill. Gladly, he was back in the 11th Parliament and he was able to follow it through. Hopefully, today, after a long struggle, it is going to the President for assent. I am certain this time it will be assented to because ... view
