• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I can see you are struggling. I am just wondering whether you have changed the rules. I thought there is a process every Paper goes through before it is tabled here. One should follow that process. The Speaker needs to see it and have it approved. The Chairman is a very good friend of mine, but I think he does not have to lay the Paper if it is not ready. He can do it in the afternoon. view

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The point of order raised by Hon. Kangogo Bowen is not appropriate. He has misunderstood the Petition by Hon. Kiarie. The Petition largely is about harassment and Hon. Kiarie represents his people. Article 95 of the Constitution talks about Members of the National Assembly resolving issues that are of concern to our people. Hon. Kiarie is perfectly in order to represent his people who are being harassed by the county government of Nairobi. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to the first Petition which was presented by Hon. Jeremiah Kioni on behalf of the people of his constituency. I want to concur with the Member and urge the Committee to expedite and, this time, resolve this matter which is very interesting. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This is an issue that I raised in 2009 because the classification of hardship areas which was done looked faulty from the word go. You can easily access Rusinga Island, which is in my county, using the Mbita Causeway where the tarmac is all the way from Homa Bay to Rusinga Island. It is a hardship area because it is an island. When you go to the Suba South side, more particularly in Gwassi and Kaksingiri areas, you cannot even access them because the roads are pathetic. As a matter of fact, this is the first time that Suba South ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In a nutshell, I am saying that we have issues with the classification of hardship areas. The Ministry did a good thing in 2009. It re-classified the hardship areas. This is what I want the Committee to look into. When this matter was raised, we were told that the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) disputed the re-classification for obvious reasons, which I understand. There are some areas which were removed from hardship areas and others were added. The Kenya National Union of Teachers did not have a problem with those areas which were added but with the areas which ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As I sit down, I want to request the Committee, as it looks at that specific issue of Ndaragwa Constituency, to look at the Gazette Notice by the Government on the areas that were all classified as hardship, including my constituency. They need to start benefitting from hardship allowance immediately. view

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the point of order is very interesting. The Motion reads, “The Report of the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities on a Benchmarking Visit to the Parliament of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland.” I do not know what benchmarking would be done apart from benchmarking on services. Hon. Osoro should have known that what is to be reported to us is benchmarking to compare services in the UK and Northern Ireland to those ones in Kenya. So, the Chairman would definitely be speaking about the same things but from different jurisdictions. view
