• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just wanted to clear my name. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose this Report. I have great respect for the Chairman of the Delegated Legislation Committee, Hon. Cheptumo, as well as the Members of the Committee, which has some of the best brains in terms of legal matters in this House. The Senate has travelled a very long and bumpy road to get to where it is today. You might remember that the first time Kshs1 billion was allocated to the Senate for purposes of monitoring and evaluation, that money ended up being removed by this House and re-allocated for other purposes ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: After that, another allocation was made to the Senate of about Kshs300 billion to proceed with monitoring and evaluation. Because of regulations and other reasons, that also did not see the light of day. I sit in the PSC and I know that it has been quite a journey to get the regulations to where they are today. I know that the Committee of the Senate that is spearheading this matter is also led by a very senior lawyer, Sen. Kiraitu Murungi. There has been a lot of discussions between the Kiraitu-led Committee and the Committee on Delegated Legislation to ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The National Assembly cannot be seen to be fighting, in perpetuity, with the Senate. At some point, we must say that Senators must be facilitated to do their duty. Senators are people of very great respect in this country. When they walk around and they sometimes have to be subdued by governors who have a lot of money and who they are trying to oversee, it does not look good. We say that counties are losing resources through corruption yet we know very well that many of our county assemblies have not shown capacity to effectively offer oversight to the ... view
• 16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I would like to oppose and urge the Committee to kindly sit down with the Senate Committee and iron out any pending issues. Let Senators receive money to do their work. Thank you. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute and support the adoption of this Sessional Paper No. 6 on the National Policy on Children. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This Paper has been long overdue. It has been pending here for a while and I am happy that there could be no better time to have it come for adoption on the Floor of this House. This is the week that we have seen some very serious violation of children in this country. I cannot proceed without really condemning the act by MCAs in Kisii County, taking children for a weekend outing. I condemn that in the strongest terms. I want to tell them that if they want to educate children, they must do it with white chalk and ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The late George Saitoti once said: ―There comes a time when the nation is more important than any individual.‖ That is when he was bypassed and His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta was appointed as the heir apparent by the former President Moi. Today feels like that day, when the nation is much more important that any of our individual aspirations as legislators. Hon. Speaker, today was unique. I listened to amendments from Members. They made a lot of sense, but it was just not the time to pass them. Including when Hon. Chepkong‘a moved the change of ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: When our Members--- Hon. Speaker, protect me from Hon. Kajuju. I was saying that we have to contribute in harambees of our members to support them. I support. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish all Members a very good recess. view
