• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: We need to look at the numbers even if it means going to mediation. Overall, I support this Bill because it gives direction on establishment of cities and markets. If we do not provide such direction, particularly with devolution, all sorts of structures will crop up all over the country. It will eventually be very difficult to plan them. This is the time to do it. With those remarks, I support. view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we now have to harmonise the laws. If you look at the Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs) that regulate human resource, products and institutions, for example, there is need to realise that KEMSA is now The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

I have information that some ministries do not even have legal departments. Some ministries have very junior legal officers who do not have any support. That is why we have these kinds of regulations. If they are making mistakes in regulations, what kind of mistakes are they making in legal agreements they are involved in, like agreements relating to tenders?
