• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: To cut my argument short on that line is that the three arms of Government need to restrain themselves from going beyond the boundaries of the powers that are conferred to them. The Executive has a responsibility too. I do not think it will be right for us to sit in this House and start snooping around and asking what the Cabinet is discussing and start “injuncting”, if I may use that word loosely, the Cabinet at the Cabinet level. Tomorrow, the Cabinet may decide that they want to do a major highway from Mombasa to Nairobi and Parliament without ... view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Finally, there is a point that Hon. Duale has raised. By the way he is right to say that the Auditor-General is not supposed to interrogate the Government policies. That is not the work of 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
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: the Auditor-General. It is clear that the Auditor- General is supposed to confine his or her work or that office must look at money appropriated and expended; the propriety of the same and efficiency and effectiveness of money - value for money. That is why in the Constitution, Parliament has been given the mandate to exercise oversight. But for National Assembly, we exercise oversight over national revenue. That is the entire national revenue and expenditure. It is the Senate that is given oversight role on money that is appropriated to the counties but for us, there is national revenue. I ... view

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: You know you are inviting very serious reprimand. Let me finish by saying that as a matter of fact, my understanding is that progress report should only be brought where a committee was given timelines and is not able to complete its work within the timelines. We do not just decide on our own that we now want to do a progress report. What if the final finding contradicts the preliminary or the progress report? Are you going to ask the House to negate your Report? I want to ask Hon. Abdullswamad together with his Committee to go back with ... view

This is a matter that should not be handled casually. As a House, we need to look at the way forward and to pronounce ourselves on this matter and even take action because we must take action. The Constitution is clear in my view. The Governor of the CBK, wherever he is, should know that this House does not want to control or fight the CBK. We do not want to promote money laundering. If anything, it is the ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: We know the body with the authority to exercise the legislative authority at the county level. Therefore, there is no Kenyan, body, institution, individual, high up or low, powerful or weak who can claim that there is law that has been passed and cannot be implemented; that it is not implementable.
