30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this is in respect of the schedule of business for next week. The Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned that we will debate, amongst others Bills, the five election-related Draft Regulations that were tabled yesterday. Yesterday, the Leader of the Majority Party raised concerns about the constitutionality of one of those Draft Regulations, as a result of which it was withdrawn by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. He has said that on Tuesday we will debate five electoral Draft Regulations. What is happening about the one that was withdrawn yesterday?

30 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I have been a defender of the Judiciary in this House consistently even when they were wrong. My learned sister, Hon. Kajuju must have been away from the House yesterday afternoon. This matter was deliberated upon. Hon. Speaker, you have set it out very clearly for all of us to understand. The excitement in the House is born out of ignorance of the law. That judgement, without disparaging the judge, is worthless. It is not capable of being enforced in law. I ask any lawyer who is in this House to go and look at the law and ...

21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. As we say kwaheri to Mr. Justin Bundi, there are certain things in this Parliament that many of us may not be aware of. First, God has been very good to Mr. Bundi. He is retiring with youthful vigour and a baby face. When he goes out there, nobody will know that he has retired. Importantly, in the last Parliament, I had the privilege of working with Mr. Bundi when I was a Commissioner in the PSC. He was promoted to Senior Deputy Clerk (SDC). I was chairing a Committee of the PSC ...

16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Yes I do, Hon. Speaker. I stand to raise a matter for your direction that, in my view, touches on the conduct of Members and compliance by Members with the Constitution and the Standing Orders. This is a matter that will guide the House on the orderly conduct of business in accordance with the Standing Orders. I want to draw your attention to Standing Order No.206(3) that relates to the Public Investments Committee. It says: “The Public Investments Committee shall consist of a chairperson who shall be a member elected by the committee from amongst the members of the committee ...

16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this matter is so serious that I would like the Leader of the Majority Party to listen very carefully. You may disagree with me or not but I urge that you listen with respect. This is not the way I want us to conduct business. 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.

16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
The matter is serious in the sense that it governs the conduct of Members, particularly those who are given the responsibility by the House. The Member should respect that responsibility and the other Members who gave him that responsibility. In view of that self-declaration by the Hon. Chair of the Committee, is it in order for him to continue to hold that position to the detriment of the coalition that sponsored him? Is it proper that the conduct of a Member in those circumstances can be condoned by the House? I say so because these Standing Orders are based on ...

16 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I heard hon. Members talk about NASA. NASA is not a parliamentary party. So, it cannot be NASA. Reports have been widely made. The onus of disapproving those reports is not on me, it is on Hon. Keynan himself. The onus is on him to disapprove those reports.
