• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the issue here was simple and straight forward. A Standing Order was quoted, and a process providing for leave of the House went on. Now we are back to Second Reading of the Bill to discuss the content of the Bill. This is not the time to discuss the content of the Bill, but the time to go by the procedure of the House, as guided by the Standing Orders on the leave of the House. I am seeing a kind of institutional filibustering that is coming into this House, where people who are well aware of the ... view

• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. The main issue here is the single registration. This is so that older registrations that we have in this country, be it voter registration, marriage certificate, birth certificate, death certificate, National ID, driving licence, passports and so on, all those are identities that should be linked to each other because they are identifying one person for various services. That is an important key about it. There are also service identities like in areas of NHIF. We are broadening our social protection. We have support for ... view

• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the report on the mediated version of the County Governments Additional Allocation Bill. I support it because basically, it increases the flow of funds to county governments.

This Bill gives room for additional funding to projects that we think should be supported by funds from the national Government like in the health sector, ... view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are dealing with an extremely important Motion here. This is the Committee that regulates our conduct. It is concerned with how we are seen in the public. If we start with that single amendment, it is then clear that the Committee on Selection did not look into the matter seriously. view
• 9 Feb 2022 in National Assembly: If you first sighted it, how comes the Committee did not see it? There is obvious evidence that the Committee did not do a good job. They just passed names of Members. You cannot allow that process to happen. This is an extremely important Committee. Without going into details, as you are going through the names, people react in a way that the public would. We know ourselves and how we conduct ourselves. These are things that the Committee on Selection can look at. To that extent, I oppose this Motion. It should be sent back to the Committee on ... view
