• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much indeed, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Before I give my comments on this, it is good to put it clear that, of course, integrity is a national value. Corruption, of course, is not a national value. It is a vice. I think we have to be clear that the Leader of the Majority Party, when he talked about national values, was talking about integrity being a national value and therefore, corruption is a vice. If you are corrupt then, of course, you are not a man of integrity. That is basically what, I think, Hon. Duale meant. The ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Allow me to look at Article 115. I see the simple word which was well articulated by the previous speaker, the issue of reservations. I want Hon. Kaluma to listen to me on this one because he is the one who came up with it. Hon. Kaluma was able to put it so well only that there is one aspect that he left behind. The aspect is very simple. Once the President decides that he is not comfortable with a Bill presented to him, he is supposed to give this House his reservations. That is the bottom line. The question ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The first way in which he can do it is to give a general statement that: “I am not happy with this clause. Therefore, you need to look at it.” But if the President does that, there is going to be a genuine fear that at the end of the day, the House may not actually get it very clearly as to what the President wants to say. If the statement or those reservations are not clear, there is a likelihood of those reservations being misunderstood by this House. Therefore, we go to the second option. The second option is ... view
• 25 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The issue which is here is presentation. How does the President present it to this House? To me, it is clear. But at the end of the day, this is a House of traditions, practices and rules. These kinds of reservations were even presented to this House during the Tenth Parliament and they were in the same form that they are presented today. Unless there is a constitutional amendment, to me, this is the way as it is. view

• 18 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.84 to make a Personal Statement. This is with respect to the nomination process that was before this House, of Monica Juma. First of all, I would like to say that it is the right of every Member of this Parliament to vote whichever way he or she wants. That right is in the Constitution and Standing Orders. On that day, I rose to second the Motion by Hon. Duale on the extension of time. When the voting took place, I do not understand how it happened, ... view
• 11 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I ask Members to just give me one minute. I want to second this Motion. view
• 11 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, I am seconding the Motion. I am rising to second the Motion. I ask Members to give me one minute. It is important that as we move forward, and I can see our Cabinet Secretaries here and I am sure they are also reading the mood of the House, to give all Members enough time to look at the contents of this Motion. At the end of the day, the majority will have their way and the minority will have been heard. That is the essence of democracy. I beg to second. view
• 29 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Indeed, I also support this amendment. However, I only have one query and the Chairman of the Committee can perhaps explain to us. Why specifically complex and specialised contracts? Why can we not say all contracts with a value exceeding Kshs5 billion? That might actually create some confusion. However, in essence, it is a good one. view
