• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to let the former Leader of the Majority Party know that the county headquarter for Nyandarua was taken by Laikipia and he is totally out of order to mislead the House and the nation that there was no policy. The policy was that Nyandarua having lost its county headquarter to Laikipia and any county that did not have a county headquarter done by the former national government required to have been provided with a county headquarter. This has been in the budget for the last eight years. I do not know why he is ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for that early opportunity to speak to this Motion. I support the Motion at the outset because, like you have said, and also the Mover and the Seconder, this is certainly a unique thing that this Parliament has not done before. It is a process that had not been provided for perhaps with some little bit of further details by the 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
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: drafters of the Constitution. It is important that this Parliament be part of what Kenyans would want to do and what they have indicated they would want to do. That is to get this process moving as quickly as possible and without us being seen to be an impediment of any nature. Hon. Speaker, I have heard discussions and some talk shows of some people who would want to say that the role of Parliament is totally unnecessary. In fact, one of them used a word that is not useful to have on the Hansard . It is, however, important ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I do not want to say much, but allow me to add that at the beginning of last year when the first Report of the BBI came out, we became over ambitious as the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) and we asked ourselves questions we are asking now. Perhaps in our little thinking, we may have come up with suggestions a little earlier, but where we are now, we want to move on as a country. As Members of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee, we are happy we are moving on. I want to add my support. Where you think ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to speak on this Bill by Hon. Odhiambo. I want to commend him for the work he has done and recognise that with the reorganisation of this Session, we are able to debate more on Private Members’ Bills than it was the case for the last three years, where people were here like passengers. I hope they looked at this issue earlier. You can see the kind of innovations that come from Members. Because they interact with citizens, they know what is hurting Kenyans and the The electronic version of the ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: interventions that need to be made. It is also important to note that when the new Companies Act was enacted and the old one repealed, the guiding principle was to make Kenya one of the countries where you can start and do business easily, and where you have little registration that hinders one’s ability to carry out business. I believe the Member paid attention to that goal when he crafted this Bill, so that we do not end up with legislation that will take us back to where we were. If we make it difficult for Kenyans and foreigners to ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to voice my support for this Bill. I want to thank those in Government who helped in coming up with this Bill. It will do away with the Act that has been in operation since 1967. This reminds us, as Members of Parliament, that there is a lot that still needs to be done for us to implement the Constitution 2010 in any manner or shape. This is just one of the examples that, 20 years later, there is still an Act of Parliament that is not in tandem ... view

• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: As a Committee, we are aware of very many such pieces of legislation that still exist, and which have provisions that do not help because of what we passed or gave ourselves as a country - the Constitution of Kenya 2010. I will never stop asking the leadership of this Parliament to think hard on the role of ensuring that the Constitution of Kenya 2010 is implemented. When we passed the laws or Acts that were provided for under the Schedule, we took a back seat. Those are the laws that we needed to pass within three, four, five or ... view
