• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: figure. I think the Chair must have mistaken the Senate figure for the National Assembly. That is my comment. I am not so opposed to those amendments but I am opposed to giving the Kshs500 million without regulations. If we are giving it without regulations, it must be a far much lower figure. With regulations, we will understand and appreciate how and where it is spent. That one is a different story. I support. view
• 26 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first, what Hon. Kaluma is referring to is a situation where it is envisaged, and as you have rightly advised him, of creating a national public fund. That must be done through an Act of Parliament. In fact, if Hon. Kaluma just took a little more time to read what he read, it says: “Money shall not be withdrawn from any national public fund other than that Consolidated Fund unless the withdrawal of the money has been authorised by an Act of Parliament”. So, if you are withdrawing money from any other fund apart from the Consolidated Fund, ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am sure this House is aware that after the passage of the 2010 Constitution, we are required to pass the Appropriation Bill so that it is assented to by the President before 30th June. That means we only have tomorrow to deal with it and pass it. This House cannot allow the Government to spend on Vote on Acount until and unless the Appropriation Bill is passed. We can pass the Vote on Account when the Appropriation Bill is awaiting the President’s assent but before passage of the same, we cannot spend on Vote on ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I have never doubted my good friend T.J. Kajwang’. His knowledge in law is definitely better than mine because I never studied law. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: But you may doubt it because you do not know if I have gone back to school to study law. Many of us go to school nowadays. 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
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: The reason I would agree with the President is that before you become a victim of the game that is played by insurance brokers… You never know. In fact, when I first came to Parliament in 2008, a friend of mine who was a Member of Parliament, but whose name I will not mention had a brokerage insurance firm and convinced me to insure my brand new vehicle with his brokerage firm. I only came to realise after eight months that my vehicle was not insured at all. In fact, I thank God I never had an accident in that ... view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I ask Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ to let us try it because the House is there for the people of Kenya. If the people of Kenya will complain after trying it for some months, we can amend it to serve that interest. I do not support the brokerage firms in their behaviour. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have been very consistent on this matter of brokers. The brokers are supposed to be intermediaries between the insurer and the insured. They have no business holding or receiving money. Let the money go to the right people; the insurers. view
• 25 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am also happy that Hon. Ichung’wah has shifted and he is now speaking the language that we have been speaking. I also feel strongly that even though it may be comfortable today, the President should not have the kind of powers that he has under Article 115 of the Constitution. I will not agree with what Hon. Millie was trying to say that even when we are agreeing with the President, we require a two-thirds majority. Far from it. When we are agreeing with the President, you require a simple majority of the Members. Hon. Millie is a lawyer, ... view
