• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion on Adoption of Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2017 on the National Policy on Climate Finance. I want to start by saying that, as Hon. Mbarire quoted the late Prof. Wangari Maathai, nature is very unkind at times. However, nature can be very kind if you are kind with it. This is because nature has allowed us to exploit it. It allows us to utilise what it has but it requires us to manage and conserve it. If we do not manage and conserve nature, we will ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: that sum in a year. Just look at 1 per cent of it. If that company could contribute just 1 per cent, we can even give them tax rebates on the amount of money that is contributed to a fund we can set specifically for environmental management and we put money from the various companies that do business in this country. A lot of them actually destroy the environment. This money could be matched by some budgetary allocation in this House so that we take environmental conservation and climate change as an important activity in this country. We can give ... view
• 15 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You are actually correct that we have consulted within the National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition and agreed that by Monday, you will get a letter from my office nominating three nominees to the PSC from the NASA Coalition. view
• 15 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that we must set standards in this Parliament. This is a requirement in our Standing Orders that has been ignored for a long time. It is very clear that we cannot transact or deliberate on a Bill through the Second Reading unless we have the report from the Committee. In fact, we have indulged Committees by saying that if you are not ready, you need to present a progress report saying you need more time. I do not know why Chairs are ... view

• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise under Standing Order No.226, which states that the Speaker may allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to a petition presented or reported and such total time shall not exceed 30 minutes. Hon. Speaker, my issue is a clarification. I agree that the National Assembly, under Article 95 of the Constitution, is required to deal with matters that are of importance to the country and its people. I agree that the petitioners are Kenyans and we can deal with the matter, but sometimes Kenyans need to be educated about the functions that are now ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. You will indulge me just one minute. Yesterday, I think we started not on a very good note. So, I did not take time to welcome back my colleagues after a long recess and New Year 2018, which we have never had. We have never debated in 2018. Yesterday was the first day. Unfortunately, we started at a point where we were complaining and trying to flex muscles with our colleagues. All in all, I want to say that I am happy that we are all back. There are a few of our ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: so-and-so has only contributed six times without really interrogating what Mbadi said during the 1,000 times that I stood to speak. To me, it would be of value to the people of Kenya, the taxpayers and to this House if we just have a few individuals who are well informed and who take their time to read the Bills and understand them and make their contribution so that all of us who, probably, did not have time or, for whatever reason, were not able to read the Bill would also understand what we have passed. If tomorrow you are asked ... view
