• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: doubt whether anyone would fault that—he was only in the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee which rarely sits. So, it makes sense that we reorganise committees to accommodate some of these Members: Hon. TJ Kajwang’, Hon. Kaluma and others. I have heard one of my members, Hon. Tindi Mwale, complain a lot about being removed from PIC and taking him to another committee. He is a member of the energy committee. He was sitting in the energy committee and PIC. There are other Members who literally do not have committees. So, if he does not want to sit on the energy ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you look at the changes that we have proposed to make, we are removing a Member from one committee to another, making adjustments and giving other Members opportunity. Hon. Kizito here has also been removed from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and I have not heard him come to my office to complain. He has not even complained publicly. This talk that there is party affiliation such as ANC, ODM or Wiper Party, we must understand that in this House the leadership of minority is one unless a party or someone decides to walk ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: If someone has complaints, they can still approach us. Hon. Tindi Mwale has approached me but I have told him, it is only fair that we leave him in the Committee on Energy and give PIC to another person. We will take him to the Committee on Delegated Legislation so that he has one strong departmental committee and also have another Committee. He has two Committees. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: So, Hon. Speaker, as I conclude, I also saw that correspondence from the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal (PPDT). I have some good friends who are very good lawyers but the Chair has a problem. You cannot give an order that cannot be implemented. Does he not know that there is no opposition party in Parliament? Who said we are the opposition? We are a minority party in this Parliament, a coalition of parties. So, when you injunct opposition parties, I do not know the animal you are injuncting. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: How do you injunct me for doing my work? Then in injuncting Parliament it says that we must follow Standing Orders. He is not even quoting which Standing Order it is that he feels we have not followed. So, the Chief Justice needs to look at that PPDT. We have had issues with that body during party primaries. I tend to think that some of the decisions they were making were not informed by the law but other considerations. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Now, you do not just allow anybody to appear before you, you issue an order that cannot even be implemented and then you say that Parliament does not respect the Judiciary. 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
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I can hear my colleagues complain about time and so with those many remarks, I second this Motion. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this amendment. I just want to say two things. We are all aware that the Bill that we took to the President was suspended. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: I hear people talking about zero. There is no zero-rating of petroleum products. What is there is that we had asked the President…. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Before my colleagues who are saying “zero” proceed, I want to say one thing: I am one of the people who were against levying any tax on petroleum products, and for a very good reason. My thinking was that it would send a negative signal to the economy. However, I want to put it clearly that if the 8 per cent tax is implemented properly, even transporters and matatu operators must understand that the 8 per cent VAT on petroleum products is not effectively 8 per cent because if you go down, you will find that Excise Duty is removed ... view
