• 10 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order. Hon. Speaker, just like the case of my good friend Hon. Nyamita, I too asked a Question in April touching on Kenya Revenue Authority and revenue performance. The Question was directed to the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. I am concerned because it has taken long for me to get an answer. I seek your intervention so that the Committee can invite KRA to come and respond to the issues that I had raised. view
• 10 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Indeed, I have been in touch with the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. At some point, I said I was not going to be available because I was going to be out of town. However, I never said the Question should not be asked. I am more than willing for the Committee to still invite the respondent to respond to the Question. I never said that since I was not available at that particular time, I was not going to be available any other time. I am available at any other given time ... view
• 10 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is very clear that I have been in touch with the Chair of the Committee on Finance and National Planning, whom I respect a lot. It is only that at one point I was not available and I am sorry for all that confusion. However, through your intervention, Hon. Speaker, I will still request that if the opportunity is available I would be very keen to get the responses to my Question. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have fresh information regarding this Question. I had asked the Table Office to defer it. Since they have brought it here, I ask you to allow me to get some time so that I bring it afresh. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to also support this very important Motion. This is very noble idea of parliamentary broadcast project. I have read through that big Report and I can tell you that there is a huge business case for this project because this particular project will go a long way in strengthening the functions of Parliament. As you are aware, Members of Parliament have three critical functions, that is, legislation, oversight and representation. A lot of our work, that is 80 per cent of the functions of a Member of Parliament, is undertaken in ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: , Mzalendo does not go into what we do in the committees. They only come and watch the live coverage of this plenary and then they are able to judge people by their contributions even when they say nothing on this Floor. However, I think with this live broadcast we are going to communicate well with the people we represent and we will be understood better. Most importantly, even attendance of parliamentary sessions like committees will improve because no Member of Parliament will want to be absent in a parliamentary committee that is being broadcast live. So, that again will ... view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Maybe you can add me one more. The issue of technology has also been captured, especially integration with ICT, which will be very clear. No media station will survive without integrating with ICT. Then there is the advertisement and sponsorship plan. Most importantly is the business case where in short term they intend to run with KBC and then in the long term there will be a special purpose vehicle. However, even as we engage KBC, we must be alive to the challenges that KBC is facing. view
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity. 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
• 11 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also join other Members in commending the House for passing this very important law. As other Members have said, it is important to regulate Harambees in this country, so that we ensure that there is maximum accountability and transparency, and that the good spirit of Harambee is not abused. We have seen a lot of abuse especially in our churches and schools. This particular law will try to streamline this very noble process. Sixty days after the law has been passed, the Committee on Implementation is required by the Standing Orders to ensure ... view
