• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not know why this matter is raising a lot of hullabaloo. Hon. T.J. asked a very valid question and was seeking your permission to raise it. It is a matter of national importance that a Deputy President can be barred. We must know the reason. We must know why the Hon. Members of Parliament had sought The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: the Speaker's attention as is required under the Standing Orders. Therefore, Hon. T.J raised a valid point. You made a very good ruling that Hon. T.J. should formally seek your authority. Moreover, we are waiting for him, so that he can raise that substantive Motion. view
• 24 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I need your protection from the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity so that I can contribute to this. This is a very important amendment. I thank the Chair for bringing it particularly the question of the former local government authorities. The amounts of money that one of our colleagues mentioned here has been lying somewhere and the council of governors is not making any efforts to ensure that the retirees get their money. view

• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this very important Report. At the outset, I support it and I will speak on two issues because a lot has already been said in this august House. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I was a former CEO of a parastatal. I think from my experience, I learnt that taking the Auditor-General’s reports seriously and especially the professional report given to your parastatal is very important. This is what makes a good CEO. In this case, I have listened diligently to what the Chairman and others have said. It seems we have a rogue CEO who does not listen to professional advice given by the Attorney-General and neither does he respect the Auditor- General’s Report. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: It is high time this Parliament began taming rogue CEOs. If we do not tame them, I do not think there is any other body that can do so. Therefore, I support the recommendations that have been made that this CEO must be investigated by EACC and a report submitted to this House for us to take the necessary action. view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: The other point I would like to raise is the question of rogue companies. In the 11th Parliament, I was in the Senate and this matter was in the National Assembly. Those companies have been mentioned again and again in terms of how they are rogue. They do not comply with procurement and tendering issues but previous CEOs dismiss this. It is high time that those companies are debarred from doing business with us. So, we can begin to create an enabling environment in which any international company can participate and know it can get what it wants from KEBS. ... view
• 13 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I know there is a lot of rot at KEBS, particularly, when it comes to motor vehicle clearance. I know there is always a 10 per cent that is agreed on. Maybe, somebody is paid three or five dollars. It is high time we brought this to rest. view
