• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Article 81(b) of the Constitution has been spoken about. Section 7 of the Political Parties Act 2011 is envisioned for amendment. The definition for special interest groups, ethnic groups and other minorities is fake! But you need to do some cleaning. What is bringing some issues here is the issue of a given society because when it is said “ethnic or minority” it means a group that is not dominant in a given society”. Then you need to define it. We would like to see that it is not dominant in a certain geographical area like whether it is in ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Members need to check Clause 9, which is about amending Section 25 of the Political Parties Act 2011. This is to do with how the Political Parties Fund should be distributed because it talks about 53 per cent proportionately shared between the largest party, coalition parties and the second largest. There is 20 per cent to be shared among all other political parties. There is another 20 per cent proposed to be shared by political parties based on the candidates of the party from SIGs in the preceding election year and the 5 per cent. So, ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Section 9, it says that a party must have, at least, five elected MPs, one elected governor and 12 elected members of the county assembly. Clause 30(a) is on the issue of reporting to the Registrar by a political party within 30 days on how they have been promoting the SIGs in Parliament. I also want to say that Clause 17 has been talked about… view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree with most of the things that have been said by the previous speaker, Hon. (Dr.) Amos Kimunya. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Accountability goes with the ability to make decisions. I see no problem with a CAS leading a delegation before a parliamentary committee to answer questions. As has been said, though we cannot equate an Assistant Minister with a CAS, the assistant ministers were in the former Constitution while the CASs are not in the present Constitution. Again, this is more of a political decision. If you remember very well, in the first administration of the Jubilee Government, there were no CASs. In the second, there are CASs. If they were of much value to the running of the ministries, then ... view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, some Members of the House do not know that Hon. Kimunya was recently awarded a PhD, and not an honorary one. He read The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: for it thoroughly. He was a top student for that period. Congratulations to Hon. (Dr.) Amos Kimunya. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I was saying that the problem is not the official written answer signed by the Cabinet Secretary; the problem is the many questions for clarification that come after the official answer has been read. You find that most of the Chief Administrative Secretaries are not in a position to make decisions. Actually, many of them have said before Parliament that they are unable to answer some questions. The Committee has to take the questions back to another day. That is one issue that needs to be noted. Two, if we open it just like that, many of the Cabinet Secretaries ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support the Bill. Three minutes is a short time. I have three issues. One, it is time we let the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to be the sole revenue collector in the country because there is a lot of unaccounted revenue being collected at the country level. What we are seeing is the KRA tightening its belt. Therefore, as the National Assembly, we should prepare a Bill to authorise the KRA to be collecting revenue all over, then it is disbursed to the counties through the County Revenue Allocation Bill. Second, I support the ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion and congratulate the Hon. Member who has brought it at this particular time. This is the most appropriate time for this Motion. It should have even come much earlier. Before I contribute to the Motion, let me pass my condolences to the people of Bomet County for losing Dr. Laboso, who was our colleague and Deputy Speaker in the 11th Parliament. I also want to condole with the people of Kibra Constituency for losing a very able Hon. Member of this House, Hon. Ken Okoth. You realise that ... view
