• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to make my contribution to this particular Report and, at the outset, supports it. When this matter came up and was hot in the air at that particular time, it looked like Parliament was, in one way or another, not willing to enact these Regulations and this created an atmosphere that sounded like, in one way or another, Parliament is unwilling or it will be favoured if it did not pass these Regulations, but that was not true. From the Report, it is now very clear that there were certain omissions ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: in law. Therefore, these Regulations were introduced way late in time that even if we were to undertake to deal with them, we would not be able to handle the damage that was already created by the IEBC itself. This is because they had a period of over five years upon which they were supposed to have introduced these Regulations in this particular House. This Report by the Committee finally vindicates Parliament as not standing on these Regulations in any way. Kenyans should know clearly that these are not bad Regulations. If they are brought in time and handled properly ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. With humility, I did not really want to intervene but I realise that when the Statement was being given, there was a statement made with finality: that, the Government does not have money to compensate the victims! Hon. Speaker, you remember the sentimental and emotional way the two boys were buried. I thought even the owner of the Statement should have interrogated the Ministry officials further so that a window is opened. If that particular Department does not have money for compensation, then what other ways or window is there for such compensation? view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I rise to support the two Petitions. What has happened in terms of the increase in prices of fuel is a very serious matter that will require both immediate and temporary solutions as we work on a permanent solution. The increase in the prices of fuel and petroleum products is actually comparable to the spiralling increase in prices in France in 1779 during the French Revolution. This is an extremely serious matter because it affects the common mwananchi - the local person. It can lead to a revolution. Even those in ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: As the Committee looks at this, there are two levies. The first is the Petroleum Development Levy. This was supposed to have been a buffer that cushions Kenyans any time there are fluctuations in the prices of petroleum products in the world market. The second one is the Fuel Levy that the Leader of the Majority Party has talked about, and which we generally use to maintain our roads. The immediate levy that must be removed is the Petroleum Development Levy because, whereas it was supposed to cushion prices, it is not doing so. Why do we still have it ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. I will comment on the Petition that concerns the NYS, which our able Chairman commented on. view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: We need to have payment done of all pending bills, especially those that accrued with the NYS. In 2017 there was a serious mess within the NYS and there were both genuine and non- 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
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: genuine contractors. As the Chair said, we have had a series of meetings with the Director-General of NYS. They have paid most of the people they were supposed to pay. There was a multi-agency team that was put in place to sieve the pending bills to ascertain who should be paid and who should not be paid. As he indicated, before it goes to whatever Committee it has been committed to, it is very important that consultation with the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is done so that they are given a report on the progress of what ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, on the Petition by Hon. Sara Korere on the land that was alienated in Samburu, I would wish to indicate that much of the theories that states on land ownership is the first occupant theory. The theory suffices that those who settled first in a place become the owners of the land. The Samburu are just victims of the colonial land ordinance that began in 1902 and proceeded all the way to 1918. They lost their land but they are lucky. Hon. Sara’s people are lucky because their land was taken to the public. There are those who lost ... view
• 19 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: With those few comments, I support the two Petitions. view
