• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I really do not have much to add. I would just like to plead with Dr. Khalwale to drop this amendment because as the others have said, this is a summit that brings together the heads of various county governments and the head of the National Government. Therefore, if again you bring the Deputy President here, it is like you are bringing two people from National Government and only one from the each county government. I do not think this is necessary. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I feel that the sub-clause that hon. Dr. Khalwale wants to amend should be Clause 3 and not Clause 2. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was rising on a point of order because I felt that he was seeking to amend Clause 2; I thought he is seeking to amend Clause 3. Actually, his amendment touches on Clause 3 but indicates Clause 2. So, I just wanted that clarification before he moves it. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think we probably need to understand this from the beginning. The Summit has submitted a report to the National Assembly, the Senate and the county assemblies, and then the County Assembly, the Senate and the National Assembly each considers a report and makes their recommendations to the Summit. Really, you cannot ask the National Assembly to pass that report through the Senate. It is like subjecting the National Assembly to the supervision and prefecting by the Senate; I think this is not right. This is because these reports will subsequently go back to the ... view

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not really oppose this but what we probably need to avoid is a power struggle between the governor and the county secretary. The county secretaries may think they are all answering now to the technical committee. If there is such a parallel meeting where the technical committee sits with the secretary and then the governors are also--- I see the possibility of some conflicts. I do not know how we are going to avoid that. Maybe, the Mover can help me to understand. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I think it is important for this House to know exactly what the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs’ mandate is in this process. The Act talks about resolution and it does not talk about changing the report from the Commission. We need to be very clear as we proceed forward. What is the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal affairs supposed to do? This is because when the people of Kenya decided, by passing the Constitution, to set up the IEBC and even stated that hon. Members are not supposed to ... view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Commissions – both the “Ligale” and the current Commission held meetings across the country and hon. Members were party to those meetings many times. We are supposed to make presentations and recommendations of what we feel just like other Kenyans. I am one of those Members of Parliament who have complained. When you hear that a part of your constituency is being hived off by a Committee of Parliament to another constituency then you are supposed to be worried and ask who has given this Committee those unnecessary powers! The mandate of the Committee is ... view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the Bill. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to start by congratulating the Minister and the taskforce headed by Mr. Mutakha Kangu for doing a good job on the three Bills that are before this House so far. First of all, it is important that the Ministry has recognized that as we move towards the devolved system of Government, there are bound to be conflicts, especially in the first few years, when we are just taking off and that there would be a requirement to try to look for mechanisms of harmonizing the powers, functions and even competencies of the ... view
