• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: An Hon. Member cannot expose his or her body, especially the way Hon. Sabina Chege is dressed. I urge you to rule that she is dressed inappropriately for the House. She is properly dressed for the birthday party but not properly dressed for the Chamber because she has exposed her arms. This is a matter that came before this House before. We must be clear and candid about it. If I come in a short-sleeved shirt with a tie tomorrow, will I be allowed to enter the House? We need to take the business of the House seriously. I urge ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was surprised that the nominated Member is not speaking to the President’s nominees and he is likely to face the consequences. He is supposed to contribute to any Motion that has come from the President. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to support this Motion which requires us to approve the nomination of the following Members to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA), pursuant to the Constitution. First I want to start by saying that the people of Kenya created organs that would help improve governance in this country. One of the organs, apart from the Kenya National Police Commission, was the IPOA. The main responsibility of this oversight authority was to review the conduct and performance of police officers and even to look at the complaints that the people of Kenya register against the ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I also know of Dr. Walter Owen Owour Ogony, whom I know is a very competent Kenyan. He has no issues around him in terms of integrity and therefore I expect that he will deliver to the people of Kenya and more particularly this important oversight authority that the people of Kenya are looking forward to, to ensure that we have a functioning police service. As a House what we are required to look into is, apart from the qualification in terms of academic, professional and the constitutional requirements such as the integrity, there is also the element of regional ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: people complain that someone has joined us and has become part of us, but we look at ladies who will be more representative of the places where they were born as opposed to where they were married. That is something that we need to weigh and see where to place ladies. They are a bit disadvantaged especially those who have been married outside their communities or their counties of origin. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I had an issue with Tororey Praxedes. She had issues when she was serving at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). These are things we need to mention because as a House we have a responsibility to talk about. If we had issues of performance in a particular area with a member and that person has been given another appointment, we should not keep quiet even if they are going to give her the job. She should know that Kenyans are aware that we have questions to ask when she was serving in IEBC. She is yet to answer ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As I wind up, there is still a problem with our police service which IPOA must act very fast to help correct. There are question marks about the police. I watched in the media when it was being asked whether Parliament is the weak link in the fight against corruption. As I agree that Parliament is the weakest link, there is also a weak link in the police force. Just the other day in my county the DPP did the right thing to order for the arrest of seven officials of that county, who are accused of embezzling a lot ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I support the approval of these nominees. Thank you. 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
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think the point of order that my good friend, Otiende Amollo, has raised makes a lot of sense. When it comes to appointment to an office, you are appointed as an individual; you cannot be appointed collectively. The fact that I do not qualify does not make Hon. Otiende Amollo to also fail to qualify. So, when it comes to voting on the names, it would be important to vote for them one by one. This is something that needs to be looked at in future. How do we prepare the Motion? Are ... view
