• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I hope I will proceed because those points of order are the same. I am not opposed to the content of this Bill. You have put it rightly that the Deputy Speaker allowed this House to engage on this matter to see if it is necessary to still pass 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
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: this Bill or reject it. My opposition to this Bill is because we passed a similar Bill a few days ago. Therefore, there is no need of engaging in another Bill and that is the point I am trying to bring out. If my colleagues cared to listen, they would understand why we are wasting our valuable time in debating a Bill that we should not debate in the first place. I will read the functions of the board from both Bills. The current Bill says: “(a) formulate the policies relating to the scheme in accordance with the provisions of ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know, I am not killing this Bill but contributing. Hon. Serem is a second term MP, I think I saw him here in the last Parliament. Even if he is a first term MP, he should know this because it is now over one year. I am sure Hon. Jared Okelo will not make the same mistake he is making today. I am making my contribution on whether this Bill deserves the attention we are giving it or not. He will have his opportunity to explain to this House why we should legislate the same ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if it appeared that I was intimidating anybody, least of all is the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning. If he can easily be intimidate like that… I thought he was a very strong man. In fact, there was a time I was proposing him to be the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee because I thought he was a very strong man. However, it appears he can easily be intimidated. I withdraw any part of my speech that is intimidating. I just want to put it that in the HBC, ... view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I would want the Chair to come out so clearly. Before the creation of counties, we had districts which were not necessarily the current county geographical areas. If the word “district” was applicable then and make it “county”, would it not inconvenience? Why are we substituting the words as if we transformed districts to counties? I am a bit at a loss why the word “district” has become untenable. I am opposing, unless I am convinced otherwise. view

• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Sorry, I have come in late because of the several roles we play as Members. I have several proposed amendments. I am therefore requesting if I can be brought to speed on where we are, if you could indulge me. view
• 14 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wanted the Leader of the Majority Party to correct himself. He started by thanking Members who have been here and then he went ahead to mention those who have just arrived, like Hon. Keter; and then mentioned me without clarifying whether I have just arrived. I have been here. Even when I am out of the Chamber, I delegate properly. I leave Hon. Omboko Milemba in charge, supported by Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ and others. The Leader of the Majority Party has left the microphone. I wanted him to clarify that I have not just arrived. ... view
• 8 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know that this country has a number of cases of historical injustices regarding land ownership. But the problem at the Coast is very serious or severe. In the 10th Parliament when I was a member of the Public Investments Committee, we went to the Coast. When we listened to the locals talk about historical land injustices, it was very painful. You will get people whom you would think are living comfortably on their land, but you will be told that, that is parastatal land which was taken from them and that they are living there as ... view
