• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On accumulated pending bills, I do not agree with the Mover when he says that it is normal. This is a bad practice which has to stop. In fact, I agree with the Committee that pending bills should be discouraged. The people to do that are those at the National Treasury. This recommendation should not have just targeted the Principal Secretary in regard to pending bills at the National Treasury.

• 29 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I support the amendments, but I urge that we agree to put a recommendation and find a way of discouraging pending bills. Pending bills are a problem in the counties. They are killing them. Pending bills at the national Government are weighing down on us. It is a matter we cannot just treat casually.

• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, although this Question was assigned to the Member for Borabu Constituency, I had two Questions and one is identical to the one assigned to the Member for Borabu, who has declined. If you could allow me to ask this Question… view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: He says he does not know the origin of this Question and yet I had a Question similar to his. So, there is a mix-up. Just allow me to ask it and not the Member for Borabu Constituency. view

• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second the Motion as moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. We deliberated, as the HBC, and decided to request the House to approve that we exempt the three items in the Order Paper from the provisions of Standing Orders 40(3) that requires today to be specifically dedicated to Private Members’ Motions and Bills. view
