• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for allowing me to also say one or two things regarding the point of order raised by hon. Duale. First, the issue of public hearing should be very easy. I would request you to communicate with your colleague in the Senate so that the House originating a Bill should be the one tasked with the responsibility of conducting public hearings. That way, when we see a Bill originating from the Senate, we do not subject it to public hearing again. In the same manner, if a Bill originates from the National Assembly, it does not make ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am not going to defend anything. First of all--- view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I am also on a point of order. So, Captain, please sit down. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I have a lot of respect for hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo who is my mentor in this Parliament, especially with regard to the Standing Orders. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you said people should be orderly. Actually, I am the only one who has been punished for being disorderly in the House of late. Today some Members are being disorderly and nothing is happening to them. I am hearing a lot of shouts and yet I want to make my point. I have a lot of respect for hon. Jakoyo Midiwo and his understanding. However, there is something that should be clarified. First of all, when you read it in the Report that it is money for public hearing I want it to be very clear that, that ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: This Committee is a creation of this House. We are required to do what is in the best interest of this House. I want to take my friend to Article 221(4)(5) of the Constitution which provides that: “(4) Before the National Assembly considers the estimates of revenue and expenditure, a committee of the Assembly shall discuss and review the estimates and make recommendations to the Assembly. (5) In discussing and reviewing the estimates, the committee shall seek representations from the public and the recommendations shall be taken into account when the committee makes its recommendations to the National Assembly.” That ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Committee cannot move around the country, come back here and we do not do anything for the public that we visited. If we go back to them the following year, what will they tell us? They will not even come for our meetings. Let me put it this way: In the last financial year, there was an amount of about Kshs5 billion that was provided for. Out of that Kshs5 billion, we decided as a Committee to allocate Kshs2 billion to the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We added CDF Kshs2 billion through a decision of the Committee. We decided to ... view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I want to say that, and hon. Mwaura is here, the albino society made a presentation to us to help them. How could we get money to help them? We went to the allocation for public hearings and we gave them some money. Take the case of Umma Dam in Kitui. We gave it money from the public hearings allocation. Now it is being said that the members of the Committee have divided that money amongst themselves. Sometimes jealousy can take us too far. view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: If we want more money in the CDF, let us say so. Tell the Committee. We can make a recommendation and this House will approve it anyway. So, to have jealousy and turn against members of the Committee to make us appear like thieves is not good. I even read in the media that we have allocated ourselves Kshs60 million for roads.
