• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: They are resisting. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The issue that was raised by the Member for Yatta makes some sense. Probably, going forward, it is something that needs to be looked into critically, whether we should hold our parliamentary group meetings on days that the House is sitting. It takes us to a very fundamental question of whether this House is really independent, as it should be, from the Executive. I have a feeling that there is some control from the Executive that may not be very healthy. Having said that, let me do the responsibility that I have this morning ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have listened carefully to Hon. Momanyi who is a very good friend of mine. He has raised a point of order and I actually sympathise with his position. I want to put this thing into perspective so that it is understood properly. First of all, NASA is a coalition of political parties and that is recognised in law and he is right to bring to the House the coalition agreement. I just want to say that in that coalition agreement, if Hon. Momanyi cared to read carefully, it does not talk about sharing Opposition outside ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, can you protect me from the Majority Leader and his Deputy. You know how loud the Deputy is. It is very clear in the coalition agreement that commissions are not to be shared. There is no power sharing. I wanted to start from there. Secondly, I want to put it very clearly that I made communication to Hon. Speaker’s Office on the issue of PSC, and I did so based on powers that I have in the Standing Orders and the Constitution as the Leader of the Minority Party. I wrote two letters to you. There was the ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: According to the formula he is using…I will qualify what I am saying but the direction Hon. Momanyi is taking is very slippery. I will say that because if you take the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: number, the Parliamentary parties among the NASA affiliates, we only have two parliamentary parties. That is the ODM and Wiper. The two have 99 Members. The two slots in the National Assembly will all go to ODM if we use the formula. ODM qualifies for 1.6. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Yes I have calculated, you know I am very good in mathematics unlike my colleague, the Leader of the Majority Party who went to Egerton and studied something else. I actually studied issues of calculation at the University of Nairobi. At least I have the privilege of knowing numbers. I will tell you for a fact that if you work with that calculation and you get 76 Members of ODM over 99 with two parties, you will get 1.6. So, ODM will take the two slots. You go to the Senate; ODM will take the other slot. So, it is ... view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi has just come from a meeting where they have been ordered who should chair committees, and he thinks that is what we are doing on this side. We are not. I am fully in charge here, unlike where you go and get directions from some house somewhere. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 13 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as the House is aware, we have lost one of our colleagues, Hon. Francis Nyenze, EGH, who was the Member of Parliament for Kitui West and the immediate former Leader of the Minority Party. Hon. Speaker, as a tradition of this House, I just want to make my colleagues aware that usually, when we lose a sitting Member of Parliament, we make some token contribution to defray funeral expenses. Therefore, I have written a letter in the name of the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party asking the Speaker for a deduction ... view
• 7 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In our last HBC meeting, we deliberated on this matter. We should take note that Tuesday, 12th December 2017 will be a holiday, so we will not have a sitting yet we have two important matters… Hon. Speaker, there is a Member here who is consulting loudly. view
