• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, although I am aware that the seat of Didmus Barasa can be declared vacant, he has to resign in writing. That goes a long way in telling us, as leaders, that we should be responsible in whatever we say. Talking about resigning is not a small matter. It is a matter that should be driven by conviction not the spur of the moment. There is also a fundamental question here which is: How should Members relate to their committees? Honestly speaking, unless you have exhausted all the avenues within the Committee, you should not bring circus like what ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to second this Procedural Motion. Before we adopted this new system where we sometimes preempt communication from the presidency, it required us to come back from recess even for a day to receive a communication on President’s appointment and then we go back for recess. That is not proper use of our time. It is costly. Given that we anticipate some appointments to be made, it is proper that we allow you to refer any matter pertaining to presidential appointments or proposed nominations of members to committees of the House. One of the possible ... view

• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: good job. We need to encourage him, as a father to these Members, to continue counselling them wisely. He said he is a father from that county. Finally, on the issue of Punguza Mizigo Initiative, when you make proposals to amend the Constitution, you should not make it personal, so that when it is rejected, you go to public television stations and spew anger as if someone has demolished your house. Some lawyers think that Kenyans do not think. When they come up with flashy tittles like Punguza Mizigo, they think Kenyans will be foolish not to read its contents. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very urgent and important Question because it involves recruitment and employment of youth. There are two things I would like the Committee to consider when they meet the Cabinet Secretary. One, if the Cabinet Secretary insists that the recruitment is to be done as per the advertisement, namely, at the county headquarters, are they going to refund those who come from all over the place to the county headquarters their transport cost? These are youth who are looking for employment and you cannot ask them to come from several kilometres away in search of ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is one of the rare occasions I get so confused in this House. Order No.8 was about putting a Question on the Second Reading of a Bill and it has just been lost. It is very strange that a Bill has been lost in this House. We could have amended the problems we had. I am wondering whether Members were aware of what they were doing. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The Bill cannot be bad to the extent that it is lost. That is very strange. Hon. Ndindi Nyoro needs to ask himself difficult questions. I have never seen a Bill getting lost in the House like this. I do not know what he has done to Members. However, from the way he is laughing, I do not think he was serious about the Bill. Let me leave it at that. view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Bill. Before us is a Bill by the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee, chaired by my good friend, Hon. Jeremiah Kioni, who has made recommendations on amendments to about seven statutes. In summary, we need to understand why those amendments are necessary and what this Bill intends to achieve. We must agree that our 2010 Constitution had some contradictions in its provisions. First, it emphasised on the first-past-the-post mode of election. It then made a provision that at least not more than two-thirds of either gender must be in elective and ... view
