• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: 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 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, recently, there was Report commissioned by the Executive given the name Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Hon. Speaker, I think out of ignorance of some Hon. Members of this House, it is assumed that this House should take initiative in that Report to the extent that being a member of two committees of this House and being friends with other Hon. Members who are not in my committees, committees are now asking for permission to hold retreats to discuss the BBI. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if we approach the recess as we will with all this not cleared, it is possible that temperatures are going to rise. I, therefore, want to ask you to give a direction on whether or not committees of this House have the mandate to discuss on their own the BBI Report. In my humble request, that remains a Report of the Executive and Parliament would not have anything to do with it until there are legislative proposals based on that Report which comes to your desk and then to Parliament. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know as a fact that there are Hon. Members of this House who hold different opinions from what I have said but, ultimately, I ask you kindly to give direction to Hon. Members of this House as they go for recess on how best to handle the BBI Report. view
• 5 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that the House is talking about now seems to be going where Hon. Kioni is taking it to; that is the right way. Members of this House are sinking to the lowest levels I have never seen. I have never seen MPs going out there to insult themselves and their colleagues in Parliament. It is embarrassing for all of us to talk carelessly outside there. Time has come for the House leadership – Hon. Duale is not listening - I now have his attention – to consider seriously having a kamukunji for us to ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to address the House in two minutes. In 2010, in the 10th Parliament, I chaired the Committee of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) that was in charge of designing this place to accommodate the new numbers that we were going to have. What came out of that Committee was that this House is sacrosanct and sacred. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It does not matter what those people are coming to discuss. What is important is that Nairobi is a well-known destination for conferences in Africa. Why can they not have that meeting elsewhere? Why here? We do not have to discuss the pros and cons of what they are going to discuss. That is not for us. For me, what is important is this: Why are we even contemplating adjourning our Sittings to allow some other meeting to take place here? There are sufficient places in Nairobi which can accommodate the huge number of people. That is my The electronic ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: view. When I opened my computer this morning and saw there is going to be a Motion by the Leader of the Majority Party, I wondered why. Since that Motion has not even been tabled, it should not even be tabled. Let us move on with our business. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 5 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is exactly what I was afraid of. That once we open this matter to debate, we are going to escalate it to another level. We will get to another level where we get to discuss Members of the Judiciary without a substantive Motion, which is against our own Standing Orders. Hon. Speaker, that is what I was afraid of. Two wrongs do not make a right. Maybe, the Hon. Chief Justice (CJ) was not right in addressing matters of budget and legislation together with protocol in the way he did. However, frustrations can make you ... view
