• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: We are aware that it is us who developed this rule; that before a nominee is approved for appointment to a State office, we must get confirmation about that person from the EACC, DCI and other state agencies. That, therefore, means that even someone who is under investigation, not even charged in court, should not ordinarily be approved for appointment to the State office. Therefore, a case where it is even in the public domain that the nominee has not only been investigated, but prosecution has been recommended against him and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has gone ahead ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: But the fact that that he came and tried to defend the indefensible to me is a reflection of a person who has no seriousness with integrity issues. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the other issue that has been raised here is regarding another position that he is holding. As far as I am concerned, and I think this is the law, the person stands suspended. Once you have been presented to court with a case on economic crime, you stand suspended from any public appointment. If, in any case, the management of Egerton still purports to have him in their Board, to me, they will be surcharged because their time will come. I hope they are watching and will hear this very clearly; that the Auditor-General will take action on ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: As I conclude, let me talk about SRC and probably speak to the appointing authority. That the Chair of SRC… We need serious consensus because we do not want a Chair of SRC who is going to treat some State officers with a condensing attitude. I want to put it on record that it was very demeaning for the previous SRC to refer to Members of Parliament (MP) as having qualifications equivalent to cleaners. The fact that we have come to represent our people The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of ... view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: does not make us less educated. We are educated and senior. It is interesting, although some of us were raising points of order, it is good for some of the people who thought we have very low responsibility will soon come to face the very people they thought are very junior, so that they can know that we are not junior. I heard members of the SRC say that they cannot easily evaluate our roles. They cannot understand us in the Pecking Order. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Someone whom you can go to seek employment, you must know that, that person is seriously senior. This is the right time for those people… I am not going to mention names because I may rattle some people. It is music to my ears that some of the people who thought that we do not have powers are soon going to realise that we actually and truly have powers even to give them jobs. If we said we are not giving them jobs, they will not get the jobs. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Keynan is my senior and he wants to inform me. I cannot reject information from someone who has been in Parliament for four terms. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: With that complementary contribution from Hon. Keynan, and I had said he has served one more term than I have served in this August House, I take that information very seriously. Those doubting Thomases and the people who do not understand the role of an MP out there will understand that we have a direct mandate from the electorate and that we exercise the sovereign power from the people delegated to us. We are only answerable to the people of Kenya. view
• 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I thank the Committee and as I sit, I would like to add that I know and understand how the Chair of the Departmental Committee of Finance was at pains to explain why they rejected this appointment. I want to just urge those who are listening out there that this is not Hon. Limo’s Report. He had very little contribution. This is a Committee’s Report and they had no choice. The law is in black and white. You cannot approve the appointment of someone who is facing charges in court to become a State officer. I support the ... view
• 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to support the point of order that was raised by the Leader of the Majority Party. Article 109 of the Constitution is on the exercise of legislative powers. Article 109 (5) says that a money Bill may be introduced only in the National Assembly in accordance with Article 114 of the Constitution. view
