• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The Mace that is purportedly used in the Homa Bay County Assembly is not made of wood. It is actually an old Mace that was in use before the new one was bought. So, it is still a Mace. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I do not want to narrow this to Homa Bay County. The Senate needs to look at county assemblies with problems and see if there are some capacity gaps which it can help in giving the Speakers to understand their Standing Orders and procedures. They also need to talk to members of the county assemblies not to behave like animals. You find MCAs carrying chairs and beating The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: the Speaker. Unfortunately, the Speaker is a woman. How a man can carry a chair and hit a woman cannot be supported. I cannot support that even if I am your friend. Some of those things need to be looked into and sorted out. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: I support the Leader of the Majority Party. We need to assess ourselves on where we have failed and own up. Some of the bad habits come about because as the father Assembly, the children are learning from, maybe, not very honorable habits from us. 18th December 2017 was a very sad day. We were complaining then that you denied us the opportunity to express ourselves. When you deny a child an opportunity to talk, the child may behave dishonourably. The other day during the debate on the Finance Bill, I thought you gave people too much time, but still ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Going forward as the father Assembly in the Republic, we must make sure that we behave honourably. I beseech you not to steal our Mace as it has been stolen from other assemblies. There is a Mace that is purported to have been stolen. I do not expect the Hon. Speaker to take our Mace to Dar-es-Salaam. A Mace being taken from Homa Bay to Kisumu is like taking ours to Dar-es-Salaam, Kampala or even to Washington. I know that in our case, our Mace is safe and it is only Members who behave dishonourably. Let us guarantee ourselves that ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of Migori has been well taken care of. We are no longer campaigning. We won the senatorial election and my brother who was having issues has been released on bond. We congratulate him for winning the bail application. But let the wheels of justice roll and be fair to everybody - that is the accused and the complainants. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I have just looked at the clause where Hon. Pukose wants us to put “shall” and it is basically functions. You cannot put “shall” for functions of the board because you need to allow them discretion. If they fail to perform, then the board will be removed. But they should have discretion. You cannot say the board shall authorise. You have to use the word “may” to allow the board discretion. If they fail to do what they should do then there is recourse. We will deal with them at that point. So, I ... view
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: When Hon. Nyoro speaks, he may persuade you that he is making a lot sense, but I want to disagree with him. When it comes to some positions like that of CEO, we do not want to see people permanently in organisations. In fact, we should 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
• 24 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: adopt a culture where you go into an organisation at that apex level, create a mark and organise your succession so that we do not have people who become dinosaurs in organisations. view
