• 6 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to associate myself with the Leader of the Majority Party, but I want to look at it from a legal point of view. The directive was not just monopolistic but also in bad taste. I do not have the privilege to sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation but I see my colleague, Hon. Shamalla, who is one of the Members in the Committee. This, in my view, is an attempt to circumvent the provisions of the Statutory Instruments Act. I support the Leader of the Majority Party that we deal with this matter as ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government: (i) whether he is aware that Kisumu, Kibos, Siaya and Eldoret prisons, and Shikusa Borstal Institution owe suppliers, mostly small local businesses sums amounting to over Kshs200 million for the period 2012 to 2018; (ii) is he further aware that funds were allocated in the budget to the institutions to clear the said bills, but were not used for the same purpose; and, (iii) what steps he is taking to ensure that these bills are paid. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with your permission, I ... view
• 12 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the annexure is in the Table Office. It was submitted together with the Question. view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the President’s State of the Nation Address, but there is something that I want to say. I was dismayed on that day because I know His Excellency’s Speech to the nation from the Floor of this House was grounded on the Constitution and the Standing Orders. Discipline and parliamentary language must be maintained throughout. Hon. Speaker, you are a stickler to time as it should be. Members had to wait for about one hour for His Excellency to come in. That must be communicated to His Excellency. He has been a Member ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Another issue is about the housing levy. Many Members of this House will recall that when the VAT rules came the first time and the House rejected them under Article 115 of the Constitution, the President referred the Bill back to the House. Members, either on their own volition or because they were coerced by their party leaders decided to accept the referral by the President. In that referral, there is the 1.5 per cent Housing Levy. That is the legal basis. So, I get dismayed when Members of this House turn to the public out there and deny having ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.199 of 2019 directed to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Lands and Physical Planning: (i) When was the parcel of land L.R. No.332/182 in Maseno Township of Kisumu County allocated to the Administration Police? (ii) Under what circumstances was part of this parcel reallocated to private developers and new parcels of land created, and could the CS provide identities of the persons or institutions that benefited from the reallocation? (iii) What steps has the Ministry taken to ensure that the parcel of land reverts to the National Police Service, and further, what ... view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I was not in the House yesterday afternoon when Hon. Millie Odhiambo was raising the issue. However, I think she raised a proper issue. Therefore, I agree with her and also with the issues raised by Hon. Mbadi about the authenticity of this Report. In my view, I think that somebody in the Departmental Committee on Health wants to take this House for a ride. Somebody imagines that he or she is too smart for other Members of this House. Ordinarily, looking at Standing Order No. 227, when petitions are refereed to Committees, they must finish ... view

• 27 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you have alluded to the Standing Orders. The last amendments to the Standing Orders that introduced Question Time required that answers would be given by Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) in committee sittings. The Hon. Member is concerned that he does not hear answers on the Floor. I thought that was his concern and you have explained it. view
