• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. The Standing Orders require us to be truthful. I sit in the Public Accounts Committee and when hon. Bett made this serious allegation, I personally challenged him and another Member who also made an allegation to substantiate under Standing Order No.91. Hon. Bett promised to substantiate and he even promised that he would bring the journalist who told him that the information came from the Chair of the Committee but he failed to do so. He failed within the Standing Orders to substantiate and he should not come to the House and ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: He is the originator because he is the one who started all these allegations against the Chair of the PAC together with another Member whom I am not going to mention and now we are where we are. He wants to look good that he withdrew. He did not withdraw. 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
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: He stood by his word. He did not substantiate and therefore the Report of the Powers and Privileges Committee on him is correct. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: There is no point of order. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I have two things to say. First, let us take the blame where it belongs. The responsibility of assessing the security situation, analyzing the risk and coming up with strategies is in the hands of National Security Council (NSC) which is chaired by the President. The person who has failed in this is the President of the Republic of Kenya. The response is wanting. We should not even ask Maj-Gen. Nkaissery who has become very arrogant immediately he went to the Cabinet. It is the President of the Republic of Kenya to answer. In fact we are just ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose this amendment. To qualify to be an auditor, you do not have to be actively practising at that time. Practising is a choice. I can be so qualified but I am working in some organisation. I can choose not to practise as an auditor. So, that should not be a qualification to be the Auditor-General. Maybe I have practised for 20 years and I am tired and do not want to practise anymore. For example, if I work in an organisation as an accountant or an auditor and then now I want ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I realise that my colleagues are confusing and misleading the House with regard to the difference between practising and being a member of the institute. I can be a member of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya, where I am regulated by a code of ethics, but there are certain auditors who are working as public officers. The law does not require them even to practise. It is illegal to be engaged in other gainful employment. Why must you stop someone just because he is not practising yet he ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to oppose this amendment. I do not understand how you are going to define ―verifiable and logical progression‖. Are you going to leave this to the subjectivity and discretion of interviewers? Someone would be blocked because an interviewer or whoever is short- listing is not convinced that the person has demonstrated a ―verifiable and logical progression in the attainment of his or her educational qualifications‖. Once you can demonstrate that you have the minimum qualifications that we have prescribed, it is sufficient. The others should be left for the interviewing panel to decide whether ... view
