• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move the following Procedural Motion: THAT, notwithstanding the provisions of Standing Order 227(2) (Committal of Petitions), this House resolves to extend the period for consideration of a Public Petition regarding Establishment of a Retirement Package for the Auditor-General presented by the Member for Dagoretti South (the Hon.

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this Petition was presented by Hon. Kiarie. As a Committee, we have heard him. We had very good and enriching engagements with him. We have heard the former Auditor- General and the Director of Pensions. We have covered substantial ground. We were at a point where we wanted to get the perspectives of the Treasury and, possibly, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) because the matter of retirement benefits touches on their jurisdiction. Unfortunately, at that time we were to hear the Treasury and SRC, the Treasury confirmed they were dealing with the Supplementary Budget and the Budget ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: In the nature of this matter, we may even require proposals to amend various legislations. It is for that reason that we are requesting for a very short extension.

Some Members have suggested that we need to break down sub-paragraph (b) so that we cater for those The electronic version of ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: others in the absence of the surviving spouse, children, and parents. We need to stagger them with clarity. It may look very broad, but you must have also heard of cases where, for instance, there is an accident involving a family including the extended family. However, I think the wisdom that you are suggesting, more so Hon. Cate Waruguru, that we structure them is something we can bring on board. You all can bring amendments which I can assure you I will support. I am enriched by what Hon. Martha Wangari has said. You know some people think that when ... view

• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is the first time possibly we may be having our Constitution subjected to a referendum following a popular initiative. When we did our public participation for those who cared to watch, there were very many issues that arose from many individuals, very serious organisations and other government institutions, including the Kenya Law Reform (KLR).
