• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: (IMF), the African Development Bank (ADB) and other concessional loans. There is a plan to borrow Kshs78 billion from the IMF at zero interest rates and with very considerate terms of repayment going for 30 years. This is information provided by the CS. We have the World Bank to loan this country Kshs85 billion at 1.4 per cent interest rate. There is the African Development Bank, which is likely to give this country Kshs22 billion and many others. If it is true that the Government is planning to borrow money through the Eurobond, then they are concealing information from us ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: we vote for to become members of county assemblies. We do not need these people who are bag carriers and flower girls. We need serious people to be in those county assemblies. Even the nominated ones, I have said about them before. There was a time I said it and I almost faced riot and demonstration from incited ladies, but I had said those who had not gone to school. We need basic education for these people whether you are nominated or elected. I know in the National Assembly we do not have that minimum academic qualification. It should be ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I second and support the Division of Revenue Bill. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: (Suba South, ODM) seconded. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. I actually want to second the Motion for the introduction of the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment Bill), 2020 which has been promoted by the Building Bridges Initiative and this is a Motion that has been co-sponsored by the Leader of Majority, the Hon. Amos Kimunya and myself. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: From the outset, I want to point out that the Bill we are likely to deal with shortly has been promoted by 4.2 million Kenyans going by the first list that went to IEBC. However, even from the verified and authenticated list, over 3 million Kenyans have decided that they want the 2010 Kenyan Constitution amended in a particular manner. However, these over 3.2 million Kenyans could not come here to prosecute and execute what they intend this House to deal with. Therefore, we have belabored and discussed this issue. Hon. Speaker, we must say that we have really benefited ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Constitution, even amending it through popular initiative or any other initiative, is a way to implement this Constitution. This is because one of the provisions in it is amendment to the Constitution. Moreover, if we successfully amend the Constitution through whichever initiative, then it is a demonstration that this Constitution is working. Therefore, it flies in the face to argue to the contrary. That is why, no matter the action that Parliament may take on a draft Bill of this nature - and I am talking about popular initiative - Article 257(10) contemplates: “If either House of Parliament fails to ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the strength of your ruling delivered on Tuesday, 2nd March 2021, this House is now set to process the Bill without delay as required in Article 257(7) of the Constitution. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Allow me not to forget to remind this House again that we are going to listen to Kenyans. We are going to have public participation. However, the requirement of Article 257 is that this House cannot and has no powers at all to amend even a comma in this draft Bill. When I hear some leaders talk out there in public rallies - they are very knowledgeable Kenyans - they tell us that now it is in the hands of Parliament to amend the Bill, I dare say that is an exhibition of total ignorance and confusion. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On the issue of maturity period, it is important for the House and the general public to understand that the mischief for providing a minimum publication or maturity period before a Bill is read a First Time in the House is to serve as a notification to the House and the general public that a certain Bill was due to be introduced in the House. view
