• 4 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: could have just spoken without mentioning a few things that he said which annoyed the membership of NASA in the National Assembly. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that Hon. Ochieng has raised is weighty and fundamental. I think it goes to the core of Article 4(2) of the Constitution of this country. In the Constitution, it is clear that Kenya shall be a multiparty democracy. Therefore, we are at liberty to choose to make conscious decisions and choices to belong to any party without any coercion whatsoever. It is on record and clear, as Hon. Ochieng has said, that he made a choice to be in the MDG party. We have no quarrel with that. I just want to confirm that ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: time that independent Members of Parliament were going to be aligned either to Jubilee or to the NASA side. Moreover, I can give an example of the Member of Parliament we famously call "Jicho Pevu", who decided to align himself to the Jubilee Party and also Hon. Chepkut. Hon. Masara, Hon. Shakeel Shabbir and Charles Kilonzo aligned themselves to the NASA Coalition. Therefore, we assign Members to committees, and the main reason why this provision of the Standing Order is here, is because we expect our Members to protect the interest of political parties in terms of policies and manifestos ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is something you cannot blackmail us into agreeing to. Therefore, as a party, we have been doing some contact-tracing and if we contact trace and find you in a political corner that we are not comfortable with, we must isolate you, quarantine you and deal with you as is required. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, with all due respect to Hon. Ochieng', and he is a good friend of mine, he just has to do the honourable thing in politics and accept if he does not want. I am happy he has declared that he has nothing to do with NASA or ODM. I want him to continue that way because he will cause confusion and cause my ODM Party some pain. I want more numbers in the 13th Parliament and I want Ochieng' to take the position he has taken - that he is away from us - so that we can again ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to start by thanking the Senior Counsel, and Member for Rarieda, Hon. Otiende Amollo, for raising this matter at this stage. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: It is true that last week, I chaired a Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting of the NASA Coalition. In that meeting, 108 Members out of 135 were physically present and 16 Members sent apologies including the Member in question, whom I want to just refer to as the Member of the PSC, who the Parliamentary Group passed a resolution to recall from the Commission. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while seated there chairing that meeting, Members unanimously agreed through a Motion which was moved and seconded. In fact, there was a unanimous vote and not a single dissent from the Parliamentary Group because as a coalition, they had lost confidence in the representation of this Member to the PSC. The Constitution is clear under Article 127 that the composition of the PSC shall be the Speaker, who is clearly designated unless we pass a vote of no confidence to impeach him and remove him from that seat. Hon. Speaker, you will definitely be the Chair of this ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: For the other seven Members, four shall come from the Majority Party, in this case the Jubilee Coalition, and three shall come from the minority coalition or the Minority Party, which in this case, the NASA Coalition, and then two will come from outside. So, our reasoning, which I want to persuade you to rule on affirmatively, is ithat you cannot fail to fire a person you hire, even in normal law of natural justice. The only thing you are required to do is to follow a process so that there is due process of the law. view
