• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the provisions of Article 95(5) as beautiful as they are, the provisions of Article 73 of the Constitution which Hon. Otiende Amollo referred the House to do not apply to the extent that we have Chapter Fifteen of the Constitution, and in Article 251 of the Constitution, we have specific provisions or provisions of no lesser law than the Constitution specific to the matter of removal. We must consider these as we go through that rigorous process. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The only point at which I disagree with the Leader of the Majority Party is how we treat a report of a Committee in which some parts are perfectly lawful and constitutional and in which only some parts are unconstitutional or may be deemed unlawful. The procedure of what happens in law, Hon. Speaker - and you served in the Judiciary for very long - what you do is severe the findings or recommendations in the Report which would contradict the law or the Constitution. You do that by way of amendment. You do not kill the whole Report. That ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the indulgence. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think it is wrong for Members, without reading a Report of a Committee, to burden Members of the Committee or Chair to be giving them the information. In so far as these individuals are concerned, we have gone through each and every nominee from their dates of birth to the schools they went to; to areas they have been serving in public service or otherwise to date. I do not think Hon. Wamalwa is right to mislead the House that this Committee took its job casually. There is also the other issue which was raised by a ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me join my colleagues who have spoken to the seriousness of JKIA as an installation. This, to me, calls us to think as Members of Parliament why, for instance, members of the National Police Service are not allowed to go on strike. Imagine you are approaching the Airport like the passengers we had yesterday. This is what the Leader of the Majority Party was talking about. 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
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: You are running on low fuel and you are being told you cannot land. Where are you going to? It is a serious security situation we cannot imagine. I want to request all stakeholders concerned that, issues that would make workers at an Airport to strike are issues we need to deal with very early. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Let me also talk to my brothers and sisters who are participating in the strike today. Even in Parliament here, we have so many reasons that would cause us to strike. We are budgeting now for all public servants to have house allowances. We do not have any, but we do not strike. We just budget. Make a sacrifice for the country when it is necessary. We are begging for your patience and we are asking all stakeholders across the country that this matter should be dealt with. I watched a very beautiful hostess being clobbered by a police officer. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly, I think what has happened in JKIA today is a call for us to expand our other airports to international level. Kisumu was to be built to the size of JKIA. It would have alleviated the situation. Let it be expanded. Let Mombasa and Eldoret be expanded. Let us all be understanding that when you are serving in a security installation like JKIA, you will have some patience that does not expose the nation to the situation we are in. I end by requesting that when we have such matters… view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am in Government and I am not going back to the Opposition. view
