• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, allow me to thank God for giving us another opportunity to come back to this House safe and sound. In support of Washiali’s proposal, there is nothing which stops us from interfering with the Order Paper in line with Standing Order No.40. I seek you indulgence because I intend to file a further amendment on this Bill. This is something I ought to have done a little earlier, but the recess kind-of curtailed my efforts to do so. I intend to file this officially tomorrow. A few of the areas which I want to seek ... view
• 2 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I stand guided, Hon. Speaker. Thank you very much. I am most obliged. I will take that route. Thank you. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for a very well-reasoned judgement on the sugar issue that has refused to die off. I want to take cognizance of the three arms of the Government. We know about the Executive that has the latitude to make changes or even rescind some of the decisions that it has made at certain times including the Executive fiat which may not be very popular with the people. I also want to bring this to the attention of the House, and the Judiciary, which is a creation of the Constitution. We have several tiers of courts from the ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: from practicing what may then be construed to be a tradition of the court. In Section 21 of the Supreme Court Act says that even though decisions of the Supreme Court will be binding, there is provision upon which somebody can ask for review of the Supreme Court’s decision itself. A clear reading of the Regulations of the Supreme Court gives a litigant, who is dissatisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court, to file a review within a set time, which is 14 days upon the delivery of judgment. My concern basically is that we know that this is ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Coming back to this House, the sugar issue is an exceptional circumstance. I thank you for a very well-reasoned judgment, but I would also want to step back a little bit and look at the fundamental issues surrounding the sugar issue that has refused to die. I do not see it dying any time soon. Our rules would always ask us to bring such a Motion within a time period of six months. It is very good and we have to follow it. But I thought this is one of those exceptional and extraneous matters that ought to have given ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I think there could be a provision upon which a new committee can be crafted to look into these issues in depth, so that Kenyans out there would know what happened to the mercury in sugar and the trade element that killed the sugar industry in its entity in the Republic of Kenya. For the first time in the history of this country, we will have results and answers. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Otherwise, I thank you for giving that very well-reasoned judgment. I finally agree that no one should allege impropriety without providing substantial evidence to corroborate the allegations made against any Member. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think there is a way in which this mischief keeps on coming. We need your clarification and guidance. This is the same thing we rejected in total. However, it has a way of making its way back through some sneaked amendments. Before I proceed further, I need your guidance over this most important subject. It seeks an amendment to a further amendment that had been brought down by this House. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not think it is in order for the Member, who is of a ranking membership here, to refer to a Member who is not in the House currently - who has been in the House and has since left – adversely. Is it in order that he refers to such a Member so adversely and yet that Member has got no podium to reply? view
