• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: 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 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Collectively, they can look over their issues but not individually. It is not my duty to go toSiaya and Chair or sit in a Committee where the governor is a secretary. What are we trying to do? Which part of our Constitution can allow that kind of thing? What we are trying to do is help the system move forward and not retrogress the system. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we, as Members of this Assembly our role is very distinct. The Senate is trying every day to take powers which are given to us by the Constitution. It is a shame that we could even stand here and try to give them those powers. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about the Uwezo Fund and I said that I do not want to see Uwezo Fund, let me deal with the CDF. I have not even seen the list. My County Women Representative has done all of it. I have not died ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Let us accommodate each other but let us not try to give opportunities to kill this baby called “devolution” because we will all live to regret it. We must be patient. view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: She is violently happy! view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If you are saying that this Bill is supposed to create a forum where we are marrying the activities of the county government and the national Government, there is the governors’ forum chaired by the President; that is Executive and Executive. If you want to deal with those issues, have a good rapportwith your ward representatives who are our equivalent. However, this Bill is meant to deny them a chance to build capacity. I would love to see my ward representative being like me because they are MPs. We are here debating and they ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: here. Let us sort out the issue of a fund for our lady sisters, who are the County Members of Parliament. It will all be good. In any case, all of it is going to our people. Secondly, let us not give the Senate power that the people of Kenya never tried to give them. If Kenyans want to give the Senate different powers, they will revise the Constitution. The way of revising the Constitution is also provided in the Constitution. Therefore, I strongly oppose this Bill. Please, let us not allow it to see the light of day. Thank ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.30(3)(a) that this House resolves to extend its sitting time by 30 minutes pursuant to Standing Order No.30(3)(a). I am only trying to do this so that more Members can get a chance to contribute to this interesting Bill. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know you have ruled that we need to move on, but you know this matter may seem to be simple. You know it is the chiefs who provide much of this country with security. The Statement that the Committee Chair has made may be misconstrued by the DCs and the DOs around the country that what he has said are the qualifications of the chiefs. I thought that as Parliament under the new dispensation the Committee would have engaged the Cabinet Secretary and brought a policy paper. As you know, and he has also already admitted, there ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: that everybody can share their requirements. As you know, prior to the last elections I am the one who insisted on the issue of educational standards. This is because we knew that if you say that Form Four is the limit and now you are saying C- (Minus) is the standard then the people in Migingo Island will never get an MCA. This is because you do not need to go to school to be a fisherman. So, I said that on issues of representation we needed to do this in a different way. I think this Committee can guide ... view
