• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the Motion by the Committee on Delegated Legislation. As rightfully said and stated, the Committee has a lot on its hands. However, this is not the only committee that has a lot on its hands in these challenging and extraordinary circumstances and times. All the Committees of the National Assembly have a lot on their hands. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: At this point or juncture, I want to state that it is unfortunate that a narrative is being shaped out there that we, as parliamentarians, are doing nothing to fight the Coronavirus. Perhaps, the media can assist us in civic education and explain to Kenyans that the committees are the engines of Parliament. Everything is done there, whether they are petitions, regulations or legislative proposals. That work is done in the Committees and then it is brought to the plenary. So, it is unfair to state that we are doing absolutely nothing. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I want to go back to these regulations. I wish to state that under very unusual and extraordinary circumstances, we request this Report to be adopted. The regulatory authority did not submit the process to public participation. In order to satisfy this requirement, Parliament, through the Clerk of the National Assembly, put an advert in the local dailies inviting interested members of the public to submit written memoranda regarding the Order. By close of business on Monday, 6th April, the Office of the Clerk had not received any memorandum relating to this particular regulation. The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Having stated that, I wish to finally state that in whatever we do as the National Assembly, we must uphold the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya and our laws. As difficult as it is, let us not get carried away to do things that are outside the law. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks Hon. Speaker, I beg to second the Motion. view
• 14 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the Motion. At this juncture, I, too, want to thank His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya, the Government of Kenya, all health workers, all volunteering people and organisations and, especially, nurses. I recognise nurses as being the frontline soldiers on this battle against Covid-19. The Report states more specifically, on page 4: “I wish to point out at this stage that the Committee on Delegated Legislation held a meeting immediately on 2nd April 2020 to consider the draft regulations and sent various concerns to the National Treasury for incorporation into the ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: I rise to pay tribute to His Excellency Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi. Great men are always surrounded by great controversy yet we must never forget that Mzee Moi united our country Kenya when many African countries were steeped in coup d’états and rebellion. He transited this country through multiparty democracy securing his place in Kenyan history of leaving a united peaceful Kenya. He relegated power under the most difficult of circumstances at Uhuru Park. Needless to say, less than four years after that, this country was plunged into civil war. Mzee was a devoted Christian, a patriot and a dignified ... view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Heartfelt condolences on my behalf, on behalf of my family and on behalf of the 6.5 million Kenyans with disabilities whom I represent in this House to the family of Moi and to Kenya at large. I knew President Moi when I was campaigning to be a student leader at the University of Nairobi (UoN). I visited him in the State House and he assisted me financially to campaign for the Student Organisation of Nairobi 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
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: University (SONU) leadership. At that time, in the year 2000, when one went to the State House, people said you had gone to eat ugali. I accepted that I ate ugali and mboga. Hon. Speaker, I remember Moi also because of patriotism. If there is one student who learned patriotism from Moi then it is me Sankok, having a suit with the colours of our flag. He used to like having flags fly all over during national holidays. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Thank you. view
• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mheshimiwa Spika kwa kunipa fursa hii kuliwaza familia ya marehemu aliyekuwa Mtukufu Rais wa pili, Daniel Toroitich arap Moi. Namkumbuka marehemu kwa mambo matatu. La kwanza, nilifaidika na maziwa ya bure. Pili, wakati nilikuwa katika shule ya upili, alipitia shuleni kwetu na tulipoenda kumwimbia, alinipa kifurushi cha pesa ambacho nilipeleka shuleni tukachinjiwa ng’ombe na tukanywa soda. Hayo mambo yalinifanya nimpende sana Rais Moi na kumkumbuka siku nyingi kwa sababu wakati huo, shule nzima ilinisalimia ili wasikie mguzo wa mkono wa Rais. view
