• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the proposed amendments. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support this proposed amendment to the County Governments Act. As Hon. Members spoke earlier on, this law was passed to meet the timeline as stipulated in the Constitution. So, having gone through the first cycle of county governments after the 2013 elections, we have realised that there are many gaps in the principal Act. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Having gone through these proposed amendments from the Senate, I thank them for doing a good job. We need to support it. There are a number of proposed insertions which I would like to speak to. If you look at the process of the first sittings of the county assemblies after elections, the principal Act has been silent. Some Hon. Members have raised concerns that indicating in the proposed amendments that the governors should be the ones convening could elevate governors and insubordinate the county assemblies who are supposed to play the oversight role. Personally, I have no problem with ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: When it comes to recognition of the office of deputy speaker of county assembly, at the moment we have MCAs who were elected as deputy speakers in all the 47 county assemblies, but these offices are not backed by law. So, on the expenditure they incur, the staff they employ, I am sure the Auditor General must have raised concerns on the same. So, it is in order that this office is recognised as one of the key offices in our county assemblies. Apart from recognising The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: and providing clearly on how the deputy speakers will be removed as and when it becomes necessary, those insertions in the principal Act are quite in order. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to speak to the amendments which relate to the office of the speaker. We have realised that in these second county assemblies, the MCAs in many counties are trying to get rid of their speakers. Sometimes when you look at some of the reasons they put forward, you realise that they are trying to make use of the lacuna in law to try and remove the county speakers on very trivial grounds. So, clearly stipulating the process of impeachment and how it should be done, how the Motion should be brought, the number of Members who are ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The other important thing, which, as a result of the lessons we have learnt from a few misfortunes that we have suffered as a country, especially when the governors-elect or governors die in office, is the need to appreciate that as human beings, all of us will die one day. Sometimes, it can come at very difficult times for families and also for voters. The only thing which we do not know is the time and the place we will die. Therefore, it is good that the law anticipates situations where governors-elect die and stipulates what should happen in terms ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: governor. Once the governor passes it on, there are strict timelines within which each of the units is going to facilitate the process of constituting the county public service board. We have also realised that at the moment, most county public service boards are operating like units which are under the command and control of the governors. This has created serious issues when it comes to discrimination on the basis of clan, ethnic affiliation and in some cases, on the basis of faith. Therefore, professionalising this is going to make our county public service boards to adhere to the principles ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill, which I support. Generally, as a country, most of our people rely on agriculture. As much as there is lack of a legal framework to guide commodity trade, what is being proposed to be regularised and to be legalised through this Bill is already happening informally. Looking at the various provisions of this Bill, there is no doubt that it will contribute greatly towards agribusiness in our country. It will boost agricultural business. The proposed Bill will also enable farmers to earn ... view
• 23 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: revolution would have transformed the lives of farmers as a result of what they earn from the parcels they have planted. I think it is only the Eastern Africa Grain Council which has tried to implement the warehouse receipt system in Kenya. However, because it is not backed by any law, they have been facing challenges. If we pass this Bill into law, it will enable farmers to use the receipts that they will receive, once they deposit their produce in registered warehouses, as collateral to even access loans which they can use, for example, to pay fees, purchase farm ... view
