• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I congratulate Hon. Maina Kamanda for bringing this great Bill. However, on the appointment of the commissioners, much has been emphasised on the issue of achieving regional balance. An Hon. Member has raised the issue of representation of people with disability in the commissions, but may I raise the voice of the young people in these commissions. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: All Government appointments that have been made, be it in parastatals or corporations, no youth in this country has been appointed and yet, we have very many competent and educated young people who can serve on those commissions. The issue of excluding MPs in those commissions is also wanting. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: There is a perception in this country that, once you become an MP, you either fail to think, stop thinking or stop being a professional. This House needs to correct that and set the record straight that even before we joined politics, we had careers. We have engineers, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion as moved by my able Chairman. From the outset, I would like to recognise the importance of the National Assembly in carrying out its role of oversight of not just the expenditures, but also the revenues of the Government of Kenya as outlined under Article 95(4) of the Constitution. This role is further given to PAC through our Standing Order No.205.

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to ask Question No.055/2019. (i) Is the Cabinet Secretary (CS) aware of the deplorable state of the Nakuru-Njoro-Molo Road, especially the stretch from Njoro to Molo? (ii) Considering the importance of the said road as it is used as a by-pass by motorists avoiding the Nakuru-Salgaa-Sachang’wan-Total Road, and as the only tarmacked road linking Njoro, Molo, Kuresoi South and Kuresoi North constituencies, what measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that this road is repaired? view

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this National Assembly has the PAC. Its mandate is to examine the books of accounts which are submitted to them by the Office of the Auditor-General. The IEBC is independent. The Committee went ahead and executed its roles, put in many days of work and then came up with a very good and long Report. Hours were spent by these Members of Parliament. We gave a fair hearing to both the secretariat and the commissioners and even went ahead and called witnesses who did business with IEBC. We made our Report and we have submitted it. We have ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: More importantly, the basis of the Report touches on the fundamental right to vote. It also touches on several issues such as the Procurement and Disposable Act and the behaviour and how members of these commissions …. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I stand guided, Hon. Speaker. I try to make myself a good student so that I can learn and stay in this House for many years like our senior Members have done. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, we are looking at the issue of a Committee of the National Assembly that has taken its role and mandate and dedicated its time to do its work. Then the House starts debating whether we should look at what that Committee has done or not. The conversation and debate that has been happening this afternoon has been discussing the content of the Report. So, why would we not then ask the Chair of Public Accounts Committee to execute or table the Report and these issues will be raised? In any case, we are not forcing the House to adopt ... view
