• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: As I conclude, the President in his concluding remarks talked about the BBI ghost which we thought was buried and remained in the Supreme Court. It is likely to be exhumed one day so that we proceed with it. I have no problem whatsoever with its exhumation. However, let us do it when we are done with elections when we will all be sober and ready for it. We can talk without having any partisan interests that are likely to come along. Those are my remarks regarding the speech. view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Allow me to also join the others in thanking the Chairman for the update he has given us. I think our position has been clearly explained by Hon. Okelo. That is what we stand by. I thank the Leader of the Majority Party who has persistently assisted us to get the money when the National Treasury becomes adamant. May I make one plea: That there is some form of equalisation. We have just heard that some constituencies have received between 25 per cent and 35 per cent, while some others have received 50 per ... view
• 25 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am anxious to speak to this because I was opposed to the Bill when it came with the Report saying that they would propose amendments to open it up. I am extremely thankful to the Chairman, his Committee and the engineer who has clarified that the issue of roads is a reserve of engineers, especially the civil engineers. My opposition was actually based on my own selfish interests that there is no way I would sit in this House and pass any law that says that a lawyer, a chief court registrar, the ... view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Let me begin by saying that this is one of the best decisions that the Court of Appeal has made this year. The first one was on the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and this is the second one. This decision will go into our universities where our children, using the principle of stare decisis, will use it for purposes of scholarship. The Senate has actually and should understand its place; that in as far as matters national are concerned; it is the preserve of this House. view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Allow me, Hon. Speaker, to weave into the Cross-Petition which now becomes a substantive suit in the High Court. I commend you because you have been asking what roles the Senate offices are doing when the Constitution is silent about them. Therefore, the High Court should stretch its mind to interpret what we are asking them to do and make those declarations. Anybody in the Senate who has earned money strictly speaking unconstitutionally and illegally has only one remedy upon himself or herself. It is a surcharge by the Government and the money should be refunded or recovered. Thank you. view
• 23 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to ask Question No. 473/2021 directed to the Cabinet Secretary for Education: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain why Mr. Kamui Joshua Munene (TSC No. 505757), Mr. Mutiiria Aron Mutugi (TSC No. 480686), Mr. Japhet Kirimi Muthwe (TSC No. 535767), Ms. Hellen K.

• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Allow me, on behalf of Hon. Muriuki Njagagua, Member of Parliament for Mbeere Constituency, to present this Petition. It is a Petition regarding interferences in the matter of revival of the United Insurance Company Limited. I, the undersigned, on behalf of concerned shareholders, policyholders and employees of the United Insurance Company Limited and statutory management, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, United Insurance Company Limited (UIC) was incorporated on 28th April 1983 as an insurer to carry out all type of insurance business, which business the company undertook until 2004 when ... view
• 10 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: THAT, the interference by IRA and treachery by the judges has held the matter in abeyance for over 20 years at the expense of shareholders, employees and policy-holders who are suffering since some of them were dependent on the insurance for medical cover; THAT, continued delay in reviving UIC is a gross violation of the rights of the company’s shareholders, policy-holders and employees’ rights to a fair hearing; and, THAT, efforts by the Petitioners to have their plight addressed by the IRA and the courts have not yielded any satisfactory response. THEREFORE, your humble Petitioners pray for the intervention of ... view
