• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What Hon. Aden Duale has raised is very fundamental and it requires your ruling. But before you make your ruling, I just have comments to make. Number one, our rules of procedure and Standing Orders are very clear about issues of constitutionality of any Bill or Motion. That at any stage, even at the Committee of the whole House or the Third Reading, if a Bill is found to infringe the provisions of the Constitution, you can still make a determination to have that dealt with at that stage. So, it is perfectly in order for ... view
• 1 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I thank Hon. Aden Duale for being vigilant and spotting that, that is a serious anomaly that cannot be correct by subjecting it to a vote. The argument would be that if we are not happy with it, then we disapprove it. But a vote can go either way. So, a provision in the Bill that offends the Constitution cannot be subjected to a vote. Therefore, I urge that if we have to proceed with this Bill, those clauses that may offend the provisions of our Constitution should be expunged first so that we deal with the Bill as if ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to take a slightly different trajectory and ask my colleagues to relax. I previously spoke when there was another released result like this and asked people to relax. When I tried to find out what Infotrak did, I was told that they ask a standard question. I will be the devil’s advocate and assume it was a scientific research. The general question was: How do you rate your Member? I hear Members talking about the NG-CDF. That was not part of what was asked. What Infotrak said is that they asked people at random ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I just wanted to caution those who still want to be here. Please, just work for your people. If you are building schools through NG-CDF, make sure they are constructed. Make sure there is water in your constituency. Struggle to get the Government to construct roads in your constituency. Please, make sure you legislate effectively. At the end of the day, your people will give you another term. No one will refer to those Infotrak results. Relax. Forget about those emotions that I see around. I have relaxed all these years. Please, relax. view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is very difficult to contribute after Hon. Koros, but I just have the following comments to make. Hon. Speaker, probably we need to ask the Committee to go a step further and delve into the issues that we are raising today. My concern is that we are discussing something that this House has already pronounced itself on. This House had actually classified miraa as a crop through a Motion. We went ahead and to allocated money in this House to promote it. But now, when we are doubting miraa and calling it a drug, my ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In addition to what the Leader of the Majority Party has said, we considered this matter. This Morning, Hon. Kanini Kega, on behalf of the Budget and appropriations Committee, tabled a Report on the third basis for sharing of national revenue allocated to our 47 counties. We are all aware that our procedures do not allow us to deal with more than one stage of a Bill or a Motion in the same sitting. Therefore, we are requesting this House to approve another sitting so that we are able to debate and approve this Report. ... view

• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. In seconding this Motion, I have a few comments to make. One, the Mover of the Motion has rightly pointed out that Article 217 of the Constitution requires the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to determine or come up with the formula or a basis to determine the allocation of revenue among the 47 counties every five years. Article 216 requires that before the Senate considers the basis, there is need for CRA to propose or recommend to them the formula. That recommendation went to the Senate on 30th April 2019. From that time ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I am sure there are people who look at the Order Paper and get scared. Hence this House needs to understand a little of this formula then I will sit down because the Mover had explained almost everything. My duty is to fill in the gaps where I feel the Mover has not touched. The CRA for the first time, and I must say, did a commendable job. What we may disagree with was the waiting but CRA did a commendable job. It unpackaged and broke down the functions. This is what they did for health, CRA decided to give ... view
• 24 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you move to the next parameter that is agriculture, which has been allocated 10 per cent, what was proposed is to use rural households. So, you get a county; remove what is considered as urban centers in those counties, remove the population in those areas, remain with what is considered as rural population, take the total sum of all the other 47 counties, put the figure for that particular county, call it Narok, over the total and apply the amount that has been allocated for agriculture. The next question that we would be engaged in is, ... view
