• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: course, when distributing national resources. The former districts or sub- counties were created without any proper consideration; a President or a Prime Minister would go somewhere and say that the place was then a district. I am seeking clarification from the Chair whether there are plans on the part of the Government to gazette all existing constituencies as sub- counties. I think that is the way to go, and not have each person who has a new constituency seeking to have it gazette as a sub-county. May we have a deadline by which all the constituencies we represent will become ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am sorry for taking the Chair back. The information sought here relates to legal issues about prisons, and not the administrative matters of a prison that would fall under the Committee that the good Chairperson, hon. Abongotum, chairs. I would request, really in keeping with the mandate of the Departmental Committees, that this being a legal issue, it goes to the Departmental Committee of Justice and Legal Affairs. Indeed, the consideration around issues like the Power of Mercy and how the determination in question is treated are matters for the Departmental Committee on Justice Legal Affairs. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. May I start by thanking all hon. Members of the House who had occasion to look at this Bill and the Constitution and, of course make presentations. I take it that all the presentations, whether in support or in opposition of the amendment proposals, were made objectively and in the best interest of our Kenyan children in mind. Hon.

Let me say that I have interest in the children of this country and, indeed, all of us should also be interested. ... view
• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I want to remind the House that the famous Donde Act was killed merely on account of the commencement date. I want to urge my colleagues that if we are tying the date to the event, publication may delay. Let us put it immediately upon assent, and then we move forward that way. But the publication at the Government Printer may delay again for two weeks and the governors and counties do not have money. We put it immediately upon assent. view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the hon. Member in order to mislead the House about how the House gets to debate matters? view
• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, orders its business. The Chairman of the PAC is chairing a Committee. Ordering business is the business of the House Business Committee chaired by none other than the Speaker. That Chair was here a short while ago complaining that he has done his work. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to seek clarification on whether there is a Government policy or position on the establishment of Level 5 Hospitals across the country? In the entire Homa Bay County, there is no Level 5 Hospital and our people are suffering in Kisii. In Migori County, there is no Level 5 Hospital. I fear when it is said that, that is coming out of a Presidential Directive because some parts of this country like ours, where presidents will take too long to come, we do not want to wait for those directives. ... view
