• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Chair of the Committee has taken words from my mouth. Let me just re-emphasise that we do not want too much bureaucracy. If you look at the composition of the committee, there is a place for the Solicitor General who gives legal advice to this team. He is from the Attorney-General’s office. I do not see why we should again create another level where now before you start the process, you write to the Attorney-General. This amendment is well-intentioned but it does not serve any useful purpose. Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, we will either defeat your ... view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, first of all, I am a bit disturbed with the argument by the Member of Parliament for Kikuyu, both of us being accountants. When you talk of a reputable audit firm, why do we want to believe that the Auditor General is more reputable than a private audit firm? I do not understand that. Secondly, if the Government has already signed a contract for the development of a project and that contract includes the cost, I do not see why we should be bothered if the Government is not putting any money for the construction of ... view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: He has priority but the Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman saw me first. In just a minute, I just want to say that I am very reluctant in mixing the roles of the three arms of Government. That is why I am concerned about what I feel is judicial overreach. The same Parliament should restrict its responsibility on legislation, representation and oversight. Let us not get involved in approving Government programmes. Really, where will we end? We will start approving vouchers here, before they are paid. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The amendments that have been carried here previously allowed Parliament to be getting reports about these projects. There is nothing that stops any Committee of Parliament or even Parliament as a whole in requiring the Executive to supply us with information. Therefore, without belabouring the point, I oppose this amendment. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Public Private Partnerships Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 6 of 2021) and approved the same with amendments. view

• 29 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Sankok had a serious point. But the way he sometimes prosecutes his points or the delivery, I do not want to say; it is wanting and has a lot of humour until we lose the substance of what was supposed to be raised. It is interesting that we have two Bills lined up for debate at the Second Reading and we are missing Movers in both cases. This is unusual. First, we have Chairs and Vice Chairs in every Committee. So, if the Chair is committed, the Vice Chair should be present. Actually, we ... view
