• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the questions he is asking me could be better addressed by Hon. Injendi. I am reporting what he told me. This is reported speech. Hon. Barasa Didmus, who is my friend and whom I found at Mashimoni Squatters guarding votes for Jubilee which were never there, is out of the country on parliamentary duty in South Africa and somebody is claiming he is in hospital. Let us be honest with ourselves. As we condemn any form of violence - and by the way I have been very categorical. I cannot stand here and say that ODM supporters have ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: in some places and that is a fact. We must condemn it and tell our supporters to behave. We also cannot create violence where there was none at all. I hear people say that some people were denied an opportunity to vote. I went to many polling stations and there was nobody to vote. Everybody had voted before 10.00 a.m. At least, ODM supporters had voted by 10.00 a.m. Those guys who did not have supporters claim that there were some people who were denied the opportunity to vote. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I was talking about truthfulness so that when these Commissioners get into office, they deal with matters that are factual. We also do not want this Commission to do things that do not exist. Even Member 001 who was never in Kibra will start claiming he was there and was chased. I expected to see him there because I know he is a very strong member of the Tanga Tanga Movement. Let me finish by saying that our party is very organised. The Leader of the Majority Party has just left. He made some remarks about our party. ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not know why Hon. Ndindi Nyoro likes to ruffle feathers. Is it in order for him to start misrepresenting facts about Kibra and then go ahead to discuss my political party, the party that I chair, unnecessarily without any substantive evidence and yet we know very well that Hon. Ndindi Nyoro went to a church and caused violence there? Honestly, is Hon. Ndindi Nyoro… view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am actually humbled by the kind of overwhelming support that this Bill has generated. There is very little to say because I think Members have contributed to this Motion from the day I moved it, I think it was on Tuesday. I just want to say two things: First, I want to thank all MPs who made a contribution or found time to contribute to this Motion. All of them have supported. Of course, I have also listened to a few Members who proposed that we bring some amendments to the Bill. I will speak ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: First, there is something that I need to clarify. Maybe, I did not say it when I was moving the Bill. This figure of Kshs100,000 was actually US$1000. This was a proposal from the Justice Cocker Commission and more prominently, through the Akiwumi Commission. Where did this figure come from? The Akiwumi Commission and the other did a research among Commonwealth countries and it was found out that former MPs were being paid, as pension, a minimum of USD1,000. Even if you go across to Uganda, that is exactly what they give as a minimum pension to those who have ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to move: view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, the Parliamentary Pensions (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.45 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. The history behind this amendment is long. Sometimes back, towards the end of the 8th Parliament, there was a concern among the Members of Parliament and the general public that Members of Parliament (MPs) salaries and other allowances were not commensurate to the kind view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: of work that MPs performed. Parliament, which is supposed to be an independent arm of Government, independent from the Executive, was under the control of the Executive. Members of Parliament were not getting good remuneration. Therefore, a Commission was formed by Parliament at that time and it was chaired by Rtd. Chief Justice Majid Cocker. It was supposed to look at terms of service of MPs. However, when the Commission was in Meru when it was going around the country, members of the public who spoke did not just address the plight of the sitting MPs then, but they went ... view
