• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: On behalf of the people of Tharaka Nithi County, myself and family, we condole with his family and we owe everything that we have in that county to Hon. Moi.

• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker those are quite some nice accolades to me. I appreciate them and I hope am able to live to the tasks put in my hands. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first and foremost, I associate myself with the able presentation that has been made by the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation.

• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me thank everybody because we have had very lively debate and contributions.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. The amendment we have effected is to the effect that other persons, apart from lawyers, do not qualify to sit as county attorneys. We have made a consideration that the number of years will be a consideration while recruiting. So, we have opened up the position to all qualified young advocates and senior advocates, but a determination will be made by the recruiting panel as to how many years they will require. view

It is not seven years. It is now for at least five years. We have removed (b) on the experience in the legal academic field. It is now a minimum of five years experience. view

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: (a) by renumbering the existing provision as sub-clause (1); (b) by inserting the word “renewable” immediately before the word “term” in the renumbered sub-clause (1); (c) by inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after the renumbered sub-clause (1)- (2) The County Attorney shall have the status and rank of a member of the county executive committee. This is purely to renew the term of the county attorney for an extra term. We are adding the word “renewable” immediately before the words “term of six years”.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me clarify. One, the introduction of the word “renewable” does not make it mandatory. It only makes it optional. If a county attorney is working well and the incoming governor or whichever governor who is in the office feels that the tenure of that person should be renewed, the law allows him to do so. Otherwise, he may not renew it and proceed to appoint a new person. It is optional. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
