• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I also indicated that I want to make an amendment on New Clause 11C, under recommittal. I actually put the recommittal there. Now, there is another amendment that has been brought. What is the way forward? What about the recommittal that I asked for, before we discuss the merits? view

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not fair. I raised the issue of chartered university first and I indicated that I am going to place a recommittal. I approached the Table and the clerks helped me to draft the amendment. As we were drafting it, they told me quietly that even though I was drafting the amendment, Hon. Chepkong’a had already drafted another one, which may overtake mine. So, my amendment, which had already been passed, is now late. The one that was drafted while mine was already there is on time. It cannot be fair. I would not mind ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon.

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Clause 11C was recommitted. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I must join the others in expressing appreciation. This is an important Bill that has been passed. There has been confusion between county roads and national roads and these authorities are now clearly organised and are going to take us a long way. However, as I accept that my commitment came in late, I accept indifference to the authority of the Chair will not bring order in this House. We must realise that what we lack most is the link between academic work and practical life of the people. We have a lot of findings ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this. I stand to support the Report. It gives a sad story because it points out two of our greatest problems in this country. The miasma of corruption with its spaghetti-like nature is convoluted, contorted and spread everywhere. In this case, it is laced with an incredible level of impunity. Kshs180 million was purposely looted systematically without any care. The Report states that the officer involved had the audacity to even repeat the same statement before the Committee and nothing has happened. Yesterday, Hon. Ng’eno said that ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: otherwise, raised issues and nothing happened. In those circumstances, how can we ignore the role of the Board? Where was the Board in all this? How can the Board not be aware that there was only one person acting as the signatory? How can the Board not be aware that officers were being terrorised and terminated? How can the Board not be aware that Treasury directions and presidential circulars were all being violated? In this case, the Board also stands to answer questions. You even wonder how is it that a person of that nature was appointed and the Board ... view
• 17 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I rise to support this Bill. As I do so, there are issues that I would like to raise upfront. First, we are dealing with engineers who practise in the health fields. There will be need to have some kind of link with the Engineering Act because at the degree level, these people will be engineers. That is something we need to look at. Secondly, issues have been raised that we have created many of these bodies in the health sector. That is true. As ... view
