• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: So, any Bill other than those Bills specific under Article 218 that deals with the listed items is what is considered a money Bill but a Bill that is specified under Article 218 is not a money Bill. If you go to Article 218, the Bills mentioned there are two: the Division of Revenue Bill and the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. Those two Bills are not money Bills. They contain provisions touching on taxes, imposition of charges but the Constitution deliberately excluded them from the definition of money Bill. view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I really appreciate your ruling on the Memorandum, that it is inconsequential even if we do not amend it. This is a very special Memorandum. The Division of Revenue Bill, it is a requirement in law that you do not just bring the Bill, but with a Memorandum. It is clearly spelt out what that Memorandum needs to contain. Therefore, the law makes the Memorandum part of the Bill; that law is the Public Finance Management Act. So, we need to get the Memorandum right. I do not see why we ... view
• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to support this amendment, especially (b), which was subjecting the appointment to delegated authority by the Public Service Commission.

The Auditor-General is an external auditor to an organization. We are not hiring internal auditors. What we need to work on, as a House, is to give the Auditor- General more resources to have more staff.

• 25 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: compromises the external auditors. We need to keep them as far away as possible from the county governments. I oppose the amendment. view

• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The Motion by hon. Musimba who is my good friend and classmate for four years---I want to confirm that this is a very bright mind. The Motion is about whether the Speaker has been treating Members with contempt and malice. For that I say, yes. We need to be very clear on this issue. When Mr. Speaker addresses a beautiful lady like hon. Rachel Ameso, in terms such as, “That short one,” then that is certainly treating a Member with contempt. The point is that the debate in this House is watched by even our ... view
