• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: My concern, and this is something I said before, Kenyans did not want dictatorship in whatever form, whether by the Judiciary, Legislature or the Executive. Any form of dictatorship is bad enough for this country. Again, we need to be careful as a House not to interfere with the other arms of Government. If a matter is already in court, we should not interfere, the same way we have been complaining that the Judiciary is overstepping its mandate at times by interfering The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: with the legislative powers of this House. I find it not right for Parliament to be seen to be interfering with the work before the Judiciary. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: I was just thinking that there is a very thin line between what Hon. Sossion has presented in terms of prayers with that which is in court. Really, if the matter of the CBC is contentious and in court, the Committee of this House will find it very hard to navigate, which areas to leave out or include. I do not see why we should not let the Judiciary to first deal with this matter before it is brought here. I just want to caution and ask for your indulgence that this matter should not be here. I want to ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with you entirely on the rules of the House. I do not want to belittle the rules of the House but I plead with you; that, Hon. Peter Kaluma had an emergency in Homa Bay and it happened right in his constituency. We actually organised for his emergency flight to join his constituents and oversee the rescue mission. Up to now, two bodies have not been recovered. There are those people who can be accounted for but you never know how many more people boarded the boat but were not listed. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I ask you to treat this as an extraordinary case and allow Hon. Peter Kaluma to ask his Question at a later date. I know he should have informed you, but this is a decision we took last night. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is basically a Procedural Motion. Matters petitions and discussing reports coming out of petitions to committees is something that is gaining traction in this House. It is becoming very popular. I think this is the right time to agree on how much time to allocate discussions on reports of petitions.

• 23 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Business Committee was proposing that we limit it to one hour and twenty minutes and have, at least, 12 Members contribute to such debate. I do not have much to say. This is a Procedural Motion. I beg to second. view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Speaker. My heart also goes to the families of these people who tragically lost their lives yesterday. We continue to get reports of more lives lost. We really do not know, up to now, how many lives have been lost. But, as Hon. Millie has said, the numbers keep on changing. No one has the correct data and statistics of those who actually were taking a ride on the boat. What I want to ask is the Committee to consider... I hope the Chair will include this when the report comes back. You can look at the Hansard ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that indulgence, although the Leader of the Majority Party is asking me to contribute to the next Motion. However, I really do not know why the Leader of the Majority Party could bring this Bill to the House which is repealing an Act of Parliament without a replacement. It is a very rare kind of legislative process that we face in this country, and I tried to listen to some of the speakers and I got concerned that I must come and put across my thoughts on this. There should be a very ... view
• 22 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: of the Majority Party to lose a Bill. I think in his reply, he may wish to withdraw it so that we do not subject him to unfair treatment. He is a leader in this House and I am also a leader in the House and, as my colleague - and I do not want to appear like I am shooting down his Bill - I would like to request the Leader of Majority to consider withdrawing this Bill even at this stage. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
