• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking at the Fifth Schedule and Chapter Twelve, Public Finance, I see that the first legislation was supposed to be on revenue funds for county governments as captured under Article 207, and it had a timeline of 18 months. If I may just take the House to Article 207(1) of the Constitution, that is talked about there, which we should have passed before 26th February, 2012, it is headlined “Revenue Funds for County Governments” and it says: “There shall be established a Revenue Fund for each county government, into which shall be paid all money raised ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Listening to the argument of the Minister, is he in order to mislead this House that if legislation is in process, it is equal to a legislation concluded? If the Bill has been introduced to this House and it has not been passed into an Act of Parliament, it remains a Bill. That legislation has not been completed. You have ruled before that this House as it is today, the legislation involves Parliament and the President. Until the President assents, the legislation is not complete. I wonder what is so different ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to tell us that the Government made assumptions about how the business would be transacted? Even if Order No.11 was to go the way it would have gone, probably only two or so Members would have given contributions. Could the Minister not just confess to us that the Government – the Executive – is still asleep? It is still on recess, yet Parliament is already out of recess! Is it in order to have that excuse to convince this House that the two Ministers ... view

• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank you for your communication especially the second one. I just wanted a clarification as to when this statement will come. You will appreciate that this Statement was sought last year, in May. It is now going to one year and the gravity of the matter is even appreciated by the Minister himself; if this country is not sure of how much we collect in terms of revenue, that is a big issue that the Minister needs to address and do so quickly. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. My reasons for opposing this Motion are as follows:- Last week on Thursday, the same Government proposed that this House goes on recess. At that time, on the Order Paper, there was no County Governments Bill. There was no Finance Bill and there was no Public Financial Management Bill. I would urge my colleagues not to allow the Government to treat this House like that, and think that whatever it wants to be done would always be done. I do not see why we should be held here past 6.30 ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not standing to challenge your ruling, but I think the country now needs an explanation as to why the Finance Bill cannot be transacted in this House and concluded. Remember, the Minister was asked to bring a Ministerial Statement to explain to this House and to the people of Kenya why we are playing around with the Finance Bill. I call it “playing around” because as we speak, illegal collection of taxes is going on in this country. This is something we cannot accept. It is important that Kenyans ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, when I listened to the Attorney-General, I realized that Kenyans made one mistake of removing the security of tenure. view
