• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I really do not have specific visitors but they are all our visitors; so, I have visitors. view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I just wanted to contribute a little on the second Petition. Whereas I support that Petition and empathize and sympathize with Kenyans who all the way from 1992 have not been settled, there are two fundamental issues that we need to look at. The first is that the idea of resettling IDPs in this country has become more or less like a cash cow for Government officers. I think as an oversight body, we need to start scrutinizing this issue very seriously to find out whether we are still resettling Kenyans or the people who are supposed to be resettled ... view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, remember that the Leader of the Majority Party promised this House that he will answer to the issue of deployment of KDF personnel in Lamu. I think this is a very important matter touching on the Constitution. We cannot continue to allow the Executive to flout blatantly and disobey the requirements of the Constitution by illegally deploying our troops in Lamu. Could he move with speed and answer that? view
• 24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you Temporary Speaker. Now you are taking it as a clarification. I have listened to the Leader of Majority. Even though he is trying to shift the deployment at Lamu to be under Article 241(3)(b), assuming it is an emergency, I wonder whether the Leader of Majority has read KDF Act, 2012. If he has, what does it say? I want him to clarify that. If you deploy under Article 241(3)(b), which he is telling us that, that is what the Government has done, you are required by law, under the KDF Act, to report within seven days - ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Even though you say that this is the work of the Executive, Article 95 of the Constitution gives Parliament an oversight role over State organs. It is high time this House pronounced itself. There are a number of times when Committees have even stopped tendering processes. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you can communicate from that seat because you took an oath to protect the Constitution. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This House needs to communicate that the reporting date of 5th must be pushed forward. This is not a request. When you see a woman crying in a market place because she spent Kshs200,000 and her child has not been taken; when you see people in a whole location in my constituency being told that they are HIV positive--- I agree that there is high prevalence of HIV/AIDS in my place, but it cannot be 100 per cent; it can be 17 per cent, as statistics have shown. It is not even a requirement. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I request that you instruct the Executive to postpone the reporting date. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, let me take this opportunity to thank the Speaker and the House for allowing me to sit in the Mediation Committee to try and look for solutions to this problem. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to point out the issues under contention. Before I do that, I want to reiterate a position that I have held for very long. That is the Division of Revenue Bill was exclusively a function of the National Assembly. However, the Supreme Court has pronounced itself on this issue and therefore--- view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. One of the Members said that if you look at Article 95, you will find that the National Assembly has a responsibility to determine the allocation of national revenue between the levels of governments; that is the vertical sharing.
