• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Commission? Those who know a lot about teaching are teachers, but that does not mean you cannot be in the commission responsible for matters teaching if you are not a teacher. Again, the Leader of the Majority Party has talked about age. The lady we have talked about had previously been approved for other appointments by this House, meaning she had competence in many areas. So, some of us get into positions if we are intelligent and sharp enough. None of us had ever legislated in this Parliament before we were first elected. However, we came, learnt and some of ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Who is that who wants to disturb or disorganise my presentation? view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I do not want to speak much because we had said almost everything on this matter. I just want to plead with the Committee to agree with the House and support. We cannot all be wrong. As I was saying, this idea of saying one lacks passion or interest is superfluous. It is because, as I put it, none of us here had legislated before we were elected. We came here and some of us have become good and better legislators. So, let us allow those two Kenyans to serve. One thing I did not like about Leila is dual ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, we did not want to allocate this cut from the PSC budget just anyhow. We wanted to specifically give it to targeted areas. There will always be issues when it comes to resource allocation. In my opinion, we were very fair. It is not in doubt that Coast is a hotspot as we speak. It is not in doubt that Nairobi is a hotspot. It is not in doubt that Mandera, for the northern region, is a hotspot. It is not in doubt also that Kitui could cover the region. However, let us also remember that Eldoret has ... view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, it would be a really interesting procedure. Procedurally, I have never come across a situation where we pass amendments with contradicting proposals in the belief or trust that we will recommit one. If we have to do things procedurally, I think the proposal by Hon. Cheptumo cannot be debated. view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I second, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, today I am very happy because we are trying to correct an injustice that was just about to happen. This injustice has been attempted many times. I am happy that this Committee has stood its ground so that we get the right person for this job. I think Mbuno has served very well in terms of managing this Fund. We have not had major scandals in this Fund. There has been improvement in terms of usage of the Fund by communicating with our Fund Managers to improve continuously the accountability for this Fund. That is why ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Off record view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, my point of order is not on your Communication, which I think is clear. However, my reading of Articles 94 and 95 of the Constitution is clear that this House has a responsibility to resolve issues that are of concern to the people of Kenya. There are a group of Kenyans who are such a big number in the Republic of China and a significant number in the Republic of India. I particularly want to focus on those Kenyans suffering in the Republic of China. I am aware that the Departmental Committee on Defense and ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, sometimes I assume that the media comes up with stories because it wants to sell their newspapers. That is why I did not bother reading the list of Members who were tested and purportedly found positive since I was also tested. view
