• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, go to the parastatals in this country. Go to Kenya Power Company (KPC), the National Social Security Fund (NSSF), Kenya Pipeline Corporation and others and ask the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: staff or even directors about the limit of their in-patient medical cover, it is more than Kshs10 million. I have shared with many of them. Our out-patient is Kshs300,000 which many of us cleared by September and we have to pay our medical bills on our own. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: There is one thing I would like to advise the media about. When Mbadi stands in the House and expresses himself, that should not be taken as having been agreed on. When Hon. Wanjala, for example, speaks about his interest in seeing his 10 wives or so covered medically, that is not the position of this Parliament. It is his personal opinion. I may not need it. That is his right. I have only one wife, unless you want to give me more. I have only one wife at the moment. The opinion about two wives… view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: My colleague is asking whether official or not. That is a private debate we can engage in later. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: My final comment, because I know my colleagues also want to contribute, is that what some of us speak are personal opinions. We give personal opinions but, please, analyse the Bill based on its contents. I know my friends in the media might think I am being very unfriendly and unkind to them. However, the truth is this: Sometimes I wonder if we have professional journalists covering Parliament. What one needs to do is just to read the Bill. In the 10th Parliament, the media used to analyse Bills. Journalists could run to our offices to seek clarifications about contents ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know I have taken too much time, but that is my contribution. I want the Leader of the Majority Party to know that Baba is properly briefed. Baba knows what he is saying and is concerned like any other Kenyan. view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I hope the House will forgive my voice. I am almost losing it. I hope I will be heard. First of all, allow me to declare my interest because sometimes you have relationships with some Government officials that make it a bit personal. You become friends. I have to be clear on this because when the issue of sugar came up and I made my contribution very well on it, I was later accused of being a friend of Mr. Rotich. It is true that I am his friend. We have a problem again with Tatu ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Dr. Kamau Thugge is my friend. We have interacted a lot. When I make my contribution, it will be understood in that context. But I will be objective. I am also aware that I am the Leader of the Minority Party and we should hold the Government to account. We have to thank the 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
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Public Accounts Committee, for doing a very good job of looking at the accounts and the reports, and the Auditor-General for bringing these issues. I want to confine myself to these two amendments. Let me start with the imprest. I agree with the Mover of the amendment that people take imprest. By the way, I have been a victim of this issue of imprest. My name appeared in accounts because I took imprest close to 30th June. In fact, 30th June found me outside the country. So, your name appears on the list of those who owe imprest. The Committee ... view
• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I also have a problem with the terminology or the wordings. Our clerks also need to use words that make sense. When they say “reprimand”, the question “By who?” arises. How do you reprimand a Principal Secretary? Who reprimands a Principal Secretary? As a House, we need to be bold. The Principal Secretary at the National Treasury is not an ordinary Principal Secretary. To me, he is a super Principal Secretary. If we feel he is not discharging his responsibility, I would be more comfortable if the Committee recommends that we remove him from office. Such recommendation would make a ... view
