• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you asked me whether my issues are captured in the Report. You are not taking my response. Kindly listen to me when I tell you why my sentiments are not captured. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you cannot rush us this way unless there is a good reason for that. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The same way we have the urgency, the same way there is an urgency in what I am raising as follows. We need to go on record. view
• 22 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee did not schedule any meeting for this Bill. What happened was that a meeting was scheduled by the Judicial Service Commission in Mombasa, for which we were all invited. This Bill came up in Mombasa as any other business. Unfortunately, by the time the Judicial Service Commission invited us, most of us were committed elsewhere and we were not able to attend. As a result, I was not able to make my presentation in the AOB that we were to do in Mombasa. Yesterday, we were signing the particular Report which was discussed in ... view

• 21 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we need to make this very tidy. The truth is that if we take the recruiting to the Advisory Board from the Public Service Commission, then this is not likely to come to the National Assembly for approval because what comes here for approval is from the Public Service Commission and independent commissions. Therefore, while I agree with the correction, we should remove the words “parliamentary approval” and replace with “approval by the National Assembly” and retain the recruitment to the Public Service Board. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I will comment on the first Petition. I support it and I would like it to be dealt with expeditiously, so that the issue of squatters can at least be addressed and possibly resolved. Hon. Speaker, I had just retreated to the back chamber to discuss very important legal matters that are coming to the House. I heard the Member for North Imenti mention a place known as Kwa Ng’ombe.
