• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: This is a very well-crafted Bill but it is before us so that we can look for areas where we can improve and one of those areas is Section 9(5) which says a member of the council shall serve on part time basis. This is a very good improvement and something that we need to borrow. I was a bit worried when we had the Salaries and Remuneration Commission here. We increased the number of commissioners and even gave them permanent salary on a monthly basis. The spirit of the Constitution is for all these people serving in similar capacities ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: There is Section 10(c), which I do not think is a very good thing. It is the kind of provision that is being used by commissioners like Swazuri, who are facing some court issues and are fighting to continue working in offices. Section 10(c) seems to give such a blanket opportunity that a person can continue serving as a chairman or can be removed only when convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced. You are allowing a criminal in the making to continue managing the affairs of Kenyans. If you are talking about setting good examples to Kenyans even if ... view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, I am hoping that the Chairman will look for ways, even if it is implied in the Constitution not to allow this. It is not good practice to 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
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: start importing that kind of a provision. It is not good when our young people read these kinds of things that you can steal or we are investigating you and you are still sitting in those offices. It is not a good thing. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Section 11 says that the council members from time to time can establish sub- committees. We need to know under what circumstances the council will establish committees because it is another loophole where public funds will be misused. view
• 5 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you and I support this good piece of legislation. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Hon. Chris Wamalwa contributes more while seated than standing. You need to intervene between the Leader of the Majority Party and the mover. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: I think what my colleagues have said it is true. The reality on the ground is that contractors are having difficulties and there are many who have been auctioned. We know those of us who are in the contracting business and I am not one of them. However, I know they will be very happy with this kind of an amendment, although it is very dangerous. One, I think, it should be in the Regulations so as to allow some latitude with the person effecting it. So as to know when it should be applied or not applied. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: When this amendment is put in law and it states work cannot continue until there is money in the account. I want to give an example of what is happening in my own constituency. We have received a loan from the Government to construct a road however the amount of money available is just enough to commence the works. If the accounting officer has to confirm there is enough money in the account, before we commence the construction of that road, that may not happen until the next three or four years. However, we started and even the contract was ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to bring to your attention that for good reason, those who supported the earlier amendment all left immediately it went through. At times, it is good to conceal your interest. There is another provision which when you read it, is very good. It makes a lot of sense for us who contract with the Government. I want to draw to your attention and the attention of Members that in the event that the Government is not able to pay within those 30 days, it is the taxpayers who will be penalised. The ... view
