• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: That person, Tabitha Muchemi, made some reasonable request to the Committee for some information to be given. She was not given. She made a request that the Hansard of 3rd March 2021 be provided to her. That request was not honoured. She made a request that the evidence of one Eric Oduor who was the Chairperson of the Selection Panel that selected her to sit on that board be given to her. She was not given. She also made a request for evidence of the Solicitor- General in the case of Katiba Institute and Others versus the Attorney General. That ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Treasury and National Planning the following Question: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the cause of declining national revenue performance that has led to Exchequer and budgetary challenges in Government and confirm whether any organisational and managerial challenges being experienced at Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) have also contributed to the decline? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a detailed list of all top management positions at KRA indicating the positions, names of current holders, county of origin, ethnicity, academic and professional qualifications of holders and number of years ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to second what the Chair of the Committee has moved. The law under the Media Council Act allows the Committee under Section (14) (3) to have a look at the Petition within seven days. However, because of the huge public interest in this matter, we have received numerous responses from stakeholders which we could not have looked at within the seven days. In future, we may need to relook at this law so that we extend this period to, maybe, 14 days. That way, the Committee will have enough time to look at ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is just a concern. Last year, I made a request for a Statement on a comprehensive audit of the Integrated Financial Management Information System popularly known as IFMIS. There was a lot of interest from Members in this House on the issue of IFMIS. The Speaker then directed that the Committee on ICT, and that on Finance and national Planning, handle the matter jointly because we had matters that touched on technology and finance. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I made the request on 1st October last year. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. During the deliberation, there was a lot of interest from Members. It appeared that some of the issues were technology-related and some were finance-related. The direction was that the two committees work together to give a response to this House. I have been following up on this matter, particularly with the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, but I gave up because the Session ended. There was a Procedural Motion to extend some of those issues like Petitions and Statements. Up to date, I have not received any response. I ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the able Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for the comprehensive answer, but I need clarification on the number of licences that have been issued. According to the statement, 1.6 million licences have been issued to boda boda operators. You remember my request for statement sought to find out why there are so many youth who have applied for boda boda licences and several months later they have not received the same. I expected the Chair to give us a breakdown of the number of boda boda ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to comment on the Bill. This Bill wants to amend the Kenya Information and Communication Act, popularly known as the KICA Bill, by recommending three things. First, is the split of telecommunication into separate business entities, and secondly, the issue of penalties for mobile call drops. Thirdly, the utilisation of the Universal Fund. I would like to look at these three issues very objectively and make my very objective comments. But one thing I would like to say is that the sentiments of Hon. Elisha Odhiambo, who is my good friend, ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: So, when we say that that we want to split telecommunications into money services, voice services and data services, we will create a big problem. That is against the whole spirit of innovation which we, as a country, seek to promote. Our Digital Economy Policy that I saw the other day talks about empowering Information and Communications Technology (ICT) set-ups to be the drivers of the economy. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as you know, ICT is no longer a service, but a product. It is the bank, school and Parliament. It will become everything. Instead of ICT chasing the law, ... view
