• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: I also recognise the work that the Committee had to do up to and including the support they got from our support staff in Parliament. It would be sacrilegious of me to talk about this Report without commending all the people who have put the hard work and the heavy lifting to painstakingly prepare this Report. This is a very robust Report. Hon. Speaker, I had made a number of proposals and I would not want to dwell into each one of them individually but, with your permission, I will just highlight them as headliners and say that it was ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: that the Committee interrogated my proposals and was able to get some few things that they can incorporate into this Report. For that, I am grateful. Hon. Speaker, it is my prayer that, as we go into this election, these Members shall be guided by the Almighty and hopefully, I am praying that the attrition rate that we see in Bunge will be broken with this election. We shall have a bigger number of Members of Parliament coming back because institutional memory is important. In each election throughout the five years, Kenya invests heavily in the Members that we have ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: My prayer is that the attrition rate in this Bunge that is put at around 70 per cent in every election cycle will be broken so that a bigger chunk of Members of Parliament can come back to the 13th Parliament, so that the institutional memory and the investment that has been made on them for five years do not go to waste. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for your magnanimity in allowing me to contribute, although I walked in late. As I explained earlier, I was presenting my papers to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). After being cleared, I am a duly nominated flag bearer of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party in Dagoretti South. Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this early opportunity to contribute to this debate. First of all, I commend the Chief Whip of the Majority Party for moving this Bill. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Mine is going to be very brief. I recognize that 12 years after the promulgation of the current Constitution, Kenyans are appreciating the work that the Supreme Court is doing. So, even as we are here in Parliament trying to make the workings of the Supreme Court better, we are not doing so for ourselves but for the Kenyan population that appreciates the post-2010 Constitution epoch, during which things got streamlined to an extent that the Supreme Court can now boast of The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: landmark rulings in its very short life. Some of the landmark rulings that come to mind are the Supreme Court Ruling on the 2013 Presidential Election Petition, delivered by Justice Mutunga; and the Justice David Maraga ruling on the 2017 Presidential Election Petition. Most importantly, we have to remember that beyond the politics, the Supreme Court has actually been doing amazing work for Kenyans. So, as we try to streamline its workings, it is important for us to ensure that an attempt is made at modernising the processes for provision of justice and services to Kenyans. Technology is important. If ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not have much to say on this one. I just want to commend the work that has gone into preparing this Bill. This is a step in the right direction. With those remarks, I support. view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am blessed to have been in the House on the day the PAC tabled this Report. I want to join everyone else who has commended this Committee for the work that they have done not only in this Report but also in the life of this Parliament. I want to single out the Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Wandayi Opiyo. It is evident this afternoon why I always say out there, even in the constituency, that I have a special admiration for this particular Member. I have been following him even long before I got ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Let me discuss the issue of the day. This Report is very damning. The Chairman decried what he knew would happen after the tabling of the Report. First, we know that Kenyans are baying for blood. They want to see action and heads rolling. However, the Chairman has referred us back to the law. He told us what powers Parliament has through PAC. It has already done what it needs to do. The tabling of this Report is actually a completion of a phase of the work that needs to be done for the issues that have been raised in ... view
