• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: others and bring what they say to the Floor, we must make sure that we do not reduce ourselves to the level of clerks. This principle is very good, but if it is over-stretched, it will stagnate legislation. Going forward, we should define the threshold of public participation. It will always be thrown to us to derail us. It is important to accommodate those who feel they were left out, but they should also know the process of legislation and know the point at which they should come in. I understand that there are those who do not pay attention ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Fully aware that campaigns for 2022 have not begun, I totally refuse to say that the Hon.

I am not saying that he is capable but I know that he is totally capable but I refuse to say it. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I want to support this Report by saying that one of the other things among many things that Members have said, I think Mr. Nassir should encourage Parliament to resume sittings in Mombasa for the retreats. Not for anything else but to rejuvenate the economy of Mombasa. I have heard Members speak to the issues of procurement and the Office of the Auditor General. There are 10 recommendations that have been made by this Committee under the leadership of Mhe. Nassir. They are good recommendations. There is need for the parastatals to ensure that land under them or they own ... view
