• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is very untidy for me to respond to my Whip. I have never had a very good working relationship with anyone like I do have with my Whip. Ordinarily, it was the Whip who should have forwarded the names but, because of some of his other commitments, I had to leave Homa Bay to come here. Actually, the Leader of the Majority Party called and said that I need to be here. I was supposed to be in Homa Bay for a very important function of the Catholic Church, but I had to leave home ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I just want to caution that let us not scandalise ourselves because if it is a matter of people using committees to lobby for funding for their constituencies, it happens every day. I have been in the Public Accounts Committee, and I will tell you that, at that time, we got funding from the Ministry of Education. There is nothing wrong with that because the money went to the schools in my constituency and the constituencies of the rest of the Members of the Public Accounts Committee. In the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, I know that ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish Members could listen to me! If there is any Committee that cannot put any money without this House knowing, it is the Budget and Appropriations Committee because every report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, including the Appropriations Bill, pass through here. If you look at the membership of this Committee, some of the Members were appointed to this Committee last year when we made changes to the Committee. For instance, Hon. Kanini Kega, Hon. Malimo and Hon. Emmanuel Wangwe have not been there. Hon. Atandi is also new. Hon. Sakwa Bunyasi was not there before. ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to second this Motion. Basically, we are retaining the membership apart from a few changes. There are some Members who have been specified in our Standing Orders. This is an addition to those Members. The Leader of the Majority Party has mentioned something that is worth talking about, on the image that the media tries to portray about Parliament. I know it is hard to change the media’s perception of Parliament. Hon. Speaker, if you can remember, when we were in the HBC, for us to agree to add the two sittings on Tuesday ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Committee should not appear as though it is was a big issue. It was a discussion issue that, going forward, we will be consulting on in a much better way just as we have been consulting before. Thank you. I second. view
