• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, on MDA’s and other Government agencies, in terms of recruitment, there is a Mwongoz o, which is a document to be adopted by these agencies while doing recruitment. “Competitive” is a word that clearly appears there. It could have been an inadvertent omission which has since been corrected here. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it only buttresses the relevance of the same thing. It is semantics. When you talk about advanced relevant degree, it only means that it has been upped. It is the first degree yes, but on this particular case, to make it more competitive, we are asking for a post graduate degree. It is just about semantics. You can 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
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: choose to use the first word or adopt the second one. It simply means the same thing, but for purposes of a clearer understanding by the Kenyan populace, we are adopting the post graduate. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This is a very important aspect of this Bill because, firstly, it will be user-friendly and that is why we are putting emphasis on it. It will be simple to use so that even those who are not as endowed with computer skills are able to log in, put the necessary documents and a transaction occurs without necessarily bringing in a lot of confusion into issues of computer system that is generated for trade. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairlady. My friend can sometimes be funny. Article 260 of our Constitution has delineated who qualifies to become a State Officer or a Public Officer. We are guided by Chapter Six of our Constitution on Leadership and Integrity. If the Leadership and Integrity Act is invoked, you can be removed from office any time. This includes being declared bankrupt. It is already clear. So, removal as it appears in subsection (c) emanates from Chapter Six of our Constitution. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I thank you very much for the opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank my Committee together with its secretariat for burning the midnight oil. The leadership of this House, headed by the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, has taken us through this. If there is anything we have learned in the recent past, during the height of COVID-19, it is that we do not have to be physically present anywhere in order to transact any transaction. Therefore, this Bill is going to address the gaps that have existed for way too ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is true that diaspora remittances to this country is annual, and looking at 2021, it was over Kshs300 billion. Last year in December, it hit the highest record ever at Kshs39.7 billion in just one month. Therefore, when the diaspora brings a concern on issues of investments in this country, we must pay much attention. Many of them have lost money in the hands of clandestine businesspeople who only purport to be businessmen. We do not have strict controls on who should invest on behalf of the diaspora. So, I think we ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to support this Petition by Mr. Gaya, of North Karachuonyo. It is true that the area, which I know very well, deserves hardship allowance. I am aware that there was a multi-agency approach by the national Government that was led by the Public Service Commission that went across the country between 2020 and 2021 to rationalise this matter. When this idea of hardship allowance came into being, there were certain areas that were omitted for reasons that we are yet to understand and a very classical example besides Karachuonyo North was Nyando Constituency. Hon. ... view
• 5 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Nyando was left out, yet it is where the real flooding is domiciled. So, we wonder what kind of criterion was followed in apportioning hardship allowance to certain areas and alienating others. We hope that the report that is yet to come out from the exercise that was undertaken by the national Government will consider areas such as Karachuonyo North, Nyando and many others that really deserve. We are not advocating for others to be left out of this scheme because it has many good parts, but we also hope that those that were inadvertently left out will be put ... view
