• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Representation of Special Interest Groups Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 52 of 2019) be now read a Third Time. I also ask the “Chief Justice Fake”, Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, to second. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There is a tendency that we seem to be developing. Just a while ago, we heard Hon. Jaldesa. She said something that is really irritating. That you are allowed to present it to BBI when you are making law and it is for that reason that you did not contribute to the making of laws. If you allow this trend to continue in this country, this institution will become like a place where you come in when you want and you go. It is important. Even when there are Press conferences outside, this exercise that we have here is very ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in supporting this amendment, let me say this: Why six years down the line we have not been able to implement the Equalisation Fund is because it was declared unconstitutional. If we carry on with amendments, it will be unconstitutional. We will be here for generations before this thing is implemented. We need to be very careful with the amendments we put forward. I also believe that some of the things we have done are unconstitutional.

Having said that, I think the other important thing is that the Office of the President will have to be careful not to be seen to be overusing the veto power because if it is over-done, again, it will beat the purpose for which it was put in the Constitution. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I cannot just wind up. He has taken all the oxygen in the room. I was going to say this. That power that has been given to the President is good, but it is meant to balance. We agree that he is a people’s representative also. But all those who are seated here are also people’s representatives. So, when we pass law, we pass it on behalf of Kenyans. When he makes those interventions, he makes them on behalf of Kenyans. But some balance will be useful. It is important that we do that. I think this would ... view

These functions serve for the purposes of encouraging the participation of persons with disabilities. The purpose of this amendment is to widen the work that is supposed to be done by the council. That will make it easy for them to take part in the electoral process. view
