• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: clearly that he does not have confidence in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. He shares that feeling with many of us. The EACC has let down Kenyans big time. We support the President for bypassing this body and using the DCI. As Parliament, we guarantee the President that we will do all that it takes to give capacity to the DCI, the Office of the DPP and other offices, even through budgetary allocation. In fact, in the current Budget Estimates, we have increased and enhanced allocation to the Office of the DPP so that we can see a renewed effort ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Sometimes I ask myself whether the commissions that we created are in sync with the thinking of Kenyans. Just the other day, I noticed that one of the commissions which we formed to help cut public expenditure - the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) - has been trying to raid Parliament and ensure that the salaries of Members of Parliament are contained. The same Commission went ahead to write a letter to counties asking them to allocate Kshs150 million for construction of the Speaker’s residence. Their argument was that it is more expensive to pay rent for houses. Madam Temporary ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: expected that this vetting could take place without asking those officers to step aside. Having told them to step aside, I hope the process will be fast-tracked so that only those Kenyans and officers who have been corrupt are dealt with. I also wanted to talk about Kenyans in general. Even as we whine, complain, ask the President and other senior officers to act and call for people to step aside, Kenyans are also to blame because they glorify theft. Kenyans roll out red carpets for thieves. If you go to a church function or fundraiser, thieves walk into those ... view

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my last contribution is on the Judiciary. The people of Kenya made it independent for good reasons. I support the independence of the Judiciary. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 5 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: However, we want to ask the Judiciary to speed up the corruption cases. There is no logic in trying a case for 15 years. Even if you convicted someone, people will have even lost interest in that case. So many people will have forgotten about the case. Just the other day, the former Clerk of Nairobi City and others were convicted. If you ask majority of Kenyans whether they remember the case which made these people to be convicted, they will tell you that they forgot about it. Such conviction cannot deter corruption. We want a timeline. If we can ... view
