• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Even if we are going to approve her appointment, she should know that her integrity in so far as that matter is concerned has not been fully addressed. So, as a loyal Member of this House, I am going to agree because I see the Committee decided to do a background check, but I do not know if they were privy to that information. Now that they have recommended her appointment, I just want to say that even as we approve her appointment, that issue is still outstanding. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: This Parliament recommended that Esther Koimett should not hold a public office. The question I am asking is: Are we going to promote someone we have recommended not to hold a public office? In my view, that is something that this House should not do. This House must hold fidelity to reports that we pass here. I have heard Members complain here many times that whatever we pass here is never implemented. Then today we are approving an appointment of someone who has been indicted by a report of this House. How will I go on record supporting this appointment? ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is Hon. Angwenyi in order to impute improper motive on me, that the matters that I have raised are based on ethnicity? I have cited a report of this House by the PIC, which had indicted Esther Koimett. It is not Mbadi who has indicted her. I have just raised my concern that how do we approve this? So, is he in order to impute improper motive given that I am the only one who has spoken against the approval of Esther Koimett? view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is it in order for Hon. Cheptumo to mislead the House and misrepresent what I said? The Report of the House is clear that the House recommended that Ms. Esther Koimett should not hold a public office. That is not the same as to be investigated. So, there was no recommendation to other State agencies to investigate and clear her. The House was satisfied with its findings that she was culpable. Therefore, she should not hold a public office. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The person who was supposed to get her out of office did not do that. Hon. Cheptumo is misleading the House and misreporting what I said. As a House, we approved that she should not hold a public office. It was not a recommendation for further investigation. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue Hon. Otiende Amollo has raised is so fundamental. It is a matter that we need to address. The only unfortunate thing is that we are raising this issue of gender only where the gender that has always been disadvantaged is the one that has been advantaged today. If it was the other way round, I would have said that we, as a House, need to open a new chapter by rejecting these appointments on the basis of gender. I will not agree with what the Leader of the Majority Party said, that we are ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Constitution. Therefore, we cannot say that we have to be blind to the fact that the gender balance is tilted. The reason Parliament is vetting nominees from the Executive is not just to look at their qualifications and academic capacity. It is also to look at other factors which include gender, marginalised groups and inclusivity. We need to look at all these matters in totality. Hon. Otiende is perfectly in order to raise this matter only that I am reluctant to support that route because, in this House, we have passed appointments with skewed gender composition in favour of men. ... view
