• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Pukose is the one misleading this House. I do not know whether his knowledge of the past politics of this country is failing him. He should remember that Miguna Miguna contested the first time for the Nyando Parliamentary seat in 2007. The Constitution is very clear. You can contest anywhere. I can even contest in Hon. Pukose’s constituency. By the way he is behaving, I will soon run against him. This is something so basic that an Hon. Member serving his second term should know. You can contest anywhere, as long as you are a registered ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I will comment on this second Petition by Hon. Jude Njomo. I am sure Members will remember that sometimes in the 90s, the collapse of banks in this country was the order of the day. Hon. Speaker, we discussed seriously that we did not have strong legal framework to help banks stand on their feet and especially those which are faced with financial distress. However, the 11th Parliament did justice to Kenyans by passing the Insolvency (Amendment) Bill 2017. It was our expectation that with this law, the CBK would have the legal framework and machinery ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second this Motion. What basically the HBC is seeking from the House is approval to allow us this morning to debate business that is not Private Members’ business and we will compensate it with tomorrow’s sitting. I just want to add that we have appointments that have constitutional timelines and we really do not want to infringe on the Constitution. These appointments, like of the Attorney- General, the Director of Public Prosecutions and some Principal Secretaries, need to be transacted this morning so that we dispose of them and then embark on other ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Again, I want to second this Procedural Motion. We have just realized that a lot of times, we spend so much time on one Motion. And remember this House has many other businesses. Our main responsibility is to pass laws in the form of Bills, not even Motions. Usually Motions are wish lists where the House urges or asks the Government to act in a particular way. That is not meant to downplay the importance of Motions, but we are just recognizing that for us to be more productive we need to limit the time that ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: the other side Hon. Pekoes, we have to allow them to be able to educate us more on matters health; matters finance and matters legal. Finally, it is something that the leadership is considering, really not to gag Members but probably we will be asking the Chair that the leadership from both sides give you about three Members from each side on each Motion, so that Members who have serious interest on certain Motions or Bills and the leadership is convinced that truly you need to set the agenda for the majority or minority side, that you are given the ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In seconding, I just want to say that we made a promise in this House that we were substituting tomorrow’s morning sitting for today’s morning sitting which would help us compensate for the time for Private Members’ Motions that we utilised for the Business of Majority and Minority leadership. This is a Procedural Motion. I just ask my colleagues that we can avail ourselves here at 9.30 a.m. tomorrow morning, so that we can demonstrate that this is a House that when duty calls, we can even add an extra sitting to accomplish tasks that are ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I second. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I rise to second the Motion seeking the House’s approval of Justice Paul Kihara Kariuki as the next Attorney General of the Republic of Kenya. You will notice that this is the first approval for appointment to the Cabinet which I, together with my colleagues from the NASA side, have participated in. The reasons are well known and I do not want to delve into them. The country is moving forward and, in that sense, we want to see how best we can do that. I have a few comments to make regarding this appointment. I, personally, do not know ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: 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
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: take up is to advise the Government to stop the drama which we are seeing at JKIA because he has the full confidence of the President. He should stop it forthwith because it is disappointing and discouraging many Kenyans who want to move forward. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
