• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: devolved function. Water provision and water development especially for large scale boreholes and large scale water facilities are largely left to the county governments to develop within their counties. Some services as well as drainage services are also left to the county governments not to mention the need to have water regulations done within counties, especially in terms of water provision. The county governments need a lot of technical support as well as financial support to be able to deliver on their functions. The Bill ensures that the framework is provided within the law so that the national Government is ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Address to the nation. I keenly listened to the Address of His Excellency the President to the Parliament of Kenya. When he concluded his Address, I was proud to have him as my President. He is a statesman; he has truly showed that he is somebody who believes in the rule of law, and he clearly revealed that he is a servant leader. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: As a believer in the rule of law, his respect for our Constitution enabled him to take extraordinary measures to safeguard our Constitution. He took the lead in defending the sovereignty of this country; that is why he appeared in The Hague at the ICC as citizen Uhuru Kenyatta and not the President of our Republic. That shows how much he cares about the sovereignty of our nation and the sovereignty of the over 40 million Kenyans. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Clearly, his respect for the constitutional order of this nation enabled him to invoke the necessary constitutional provisions to have his deputy act as a President for the period when he was at the ICC as citizen Uhuru Kenyatta. The Constitution could be self-propelling as others have said, but how many Kenyans know that? Kenyans were so anxious for having their President in The Hague. The symbolic gesture he displayed was enough for so many Kenyans who are not scholars, or who have very limited knowledge of the Constitution, to appreciate those extraordinary circumstances. In that, I see no problem. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: He also showed the respect he has for African Union’s resolution passed by all Heads of State that no sitting President of any African nation should go before the ICC as a President. That is why he invoked the necessary constitutional provision and elevated his Deputy President to serve as an Acting President. That shows the respect he has for the African Union, of which we are a very strong member. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the President also addressed the issue of IDPs. The effort the Government has made to resettle them and the need for us to resettle more ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: One thing must be said; the security of our President and the Deputy President must not be taken for granted. Even in the USA, there is a reason for having Air Force One and Air Force Two; the President always flies in Air Force One and his Deputy always flies in Air Force Two, and never in the same plane and never in the same vehicle. There is a reason for that and that should not have happened when the President arrived. I was told that both the President and the Deputy were in the same vehicle. That is really ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I concur with the Chair of the Committee on the first amendment where victims are forced - or is it mandatory - to make a statement. That should be voluntary. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the non-deployment of Administration Police (AP) officers in parts of Marsabit North District in North Horr Constituency. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, for clarity, I am talking about chiefs and not District Officers (DOs) or District Commissioners (DCs) and ten days will be okay. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to really oppose that amendment. It is very retrogressive. Actually, I think it is unconstitutional. This is because our Constitution allows for capital punishment such as life sentence and I do not think it allows for killing or taking away somebody’s life. As it is, I actually do not know even how the Speaker approved this amendment. view
