• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: As a House, we have religiously respected this Parliamentary tradition. However, with respect to the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, this tradition of adhering to the set maturity period for a Bill would be of no value, given that it is a matter of public notoriety that the said Bill has been in public domain long enough and beyond the stipulated 21 days. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree with your direction that the Bill be introduced in the form submitted to the county assemblies by the Independent Boundaries and Elections Commission. This secures 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: the integrity of the form and content of the Bill from the IEBC and its journey through the 47 county assemblies, the Houses of Parliament and ultimately to the people for a decision. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: We want to deal with one Bill from the time the IEBC sent the Bill to the 47 counties and the same Bill was passed in the form and content with which it came from the IEBC to be introduced in this House and to go to the people of Kenya. We do not even want a comma to be changed. It should be the same Bill dated the same day, debated by all the 47 county assemblies, passed and debated by the two chambers of Parliament and finally taken to the people of Kenya after the President will have ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Finally, I am impressed with the consultations that you and the Hon. Speaker of the Senate spearheaded last year. Equally, the guidelines you have severally given to the respective Houses of Parliament which have been jointly agreed to ensure that the bicameral processing of the Constitution of Kenya Bill 2010 promoted by the BBI in Parliament is expedited as required under Article 257 of the Constitution. We have had several meetings, the last of which the Leader of the Majority Party alluded to which was yesterday. As leadership of Parliament from both Houses, we are totally in agreement and in ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: are probably the very few ones which are currently telling Kenyans that we do not need to amend the Constitution. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I end my contribution by requesting this House to agree with us that we allow the introduction of this draft Bill formerly in this House. With those many remarks, I beg to second. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I second, I want to start by congratulating the Members of the various departmental committees who looked at the BPS and did a good job in presenting their reports to the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I also want to thank the membership of the Budget and Appropriations Committee for doing a good job in having this Report done in record time.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The Fiscal Management Act of 2009 required the Government to submit the BPS to Parliament for review and approval. Again, this was reemphasised under the PFM Act 2021, but the mood and the spirit of this requirement has not been carried to the BPS. I want to remind and, may be, inform the House that one country that has a long history with BPS is New Zealand, but if you look at their BPS for this year, it is just 28 pages. Ours is 143 pages. Those who like reading could go and read the BPS of New Zealand and ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me to talk about my pet area, that is the debt servicing. Servicing of public debt has come home to roost. There is no single year I have ever stood in this House without talking about how we are reaching levels of debt unsustainability. It is the only expenditure that is increasing followed by expenditure on defence and security related entities. I stand here again to shout loudly that we have been borrowing to finance recurrent expenditure. Figures do not lie. On a yearly basis, at least, between 2 and 5 per cent of our recurrent expenditure ... view
