• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: One thing I do not agree with Hon. Otiende on is that you can have collar as a substitute or alternative for a tie. Most of our shirts, and if you are serious with buying one, have collar that could cover our necks. In fact, if I decide to remove this tie and have the last button of my shirt, I would still cover my neck the same way Hon. Otiende has covered his neck. Unless we are going to drop our way of dressing and even look for t-shirts that can cover our necks like the polo t- shirts, ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: If you look at Hon. Otiende, there is no difference between him and the Nomiya Church pastor on a Sunday. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: There is no difference. I know where he comes from is actually where the Nomiya Church was founded. Now he has moved from Rarieda, more particularly from Uyoma Ndigwa and he is now in the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. Hon. Otiende should just accept that it may be discomforting. Not all of us like suits anyway. We would like to walk freely and wear light clothes, but now that I am here and I chose to be here, I need to be properly dressed. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in my view, Hon. Otiende should be ruled out of order and found to be improperly dressed even though he is smart. I do not doubt that. If we were passing out or were in a contest of smarts, he would properly beat all of us, but being smart is not equal to being properly dressed, in the strictest sense. So, I agree with Hon. John Olago Aluoch that Hon. Otiende Amolo does not have a tie and he should have one. view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you also need to make a ruling on religious dressing because if we are going to have Members dress in religious dresses, then we should all be allowed because the country does not discriminate on the basis of religion. You cannot allow Hon. Abdullswamad to 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
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: dress like a Muslim, but deny me from dressing as a Catholic or as a Seventh Day Adventist. That will be discrimination. So, we need to be clear on religious dress. This is a very serious matter. I can see the Leader of the Majority Party looking at me. Even on religious dressing, I do not know whether the Standing Orders exempt Members who dress religiously. If we have to exempt Members who dress religiously, we need to define what religious dress is. For the first time, we have a mukurino in this House and he is dressing so. We ... view
• 20 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: it will be discriminatory and I can go to court to challenge it. If we are coming here as Members, let us come here as Members. We leave the other things out of this House. Thank you. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, the matter that is before us, which has been presented by the Chair of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund, is very grave. I think it is a matter that this House, in one way or another, needs to find a way of dealing with. When we create a fund, and this is provided for in the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, the money allocated should remain there until it is fully utilised. That is the law. First of all, I would like the Chair to address himself on how money that dates back to 2011, ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, I think the Chair should not go back to the National Treasury but instead he needs to summon or invite the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning before the Committee so as to deal with him professionally and formally. When you deal with a CS informally, then informal arrangements remain informal like a friendly chat. If you invite the CS before a Committee and he commits himself to transfer Ksh10 billion to the NG-CDF fund, then he will have to do so, because it is a commitment to a formal Committee of Parliament. view
