• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to also give my views concerning this Bill. At the outset, this House is one of the respected Houses in the world. We are clear in our minds in terms of our roles. In the 11th Parliament, if I may remind the House, we as the National Assembly were clear on our role when this issue started during the 2014/2015 Financial Year. The Senate was not clear on its role and it went to court. I am not a lawyer or a legal expert, but I can remember that there is ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: that the intention of the drafters of the Constitution when they drafted the roles of the National Assembly as contained in Article 95(4) and the roles of the Senate as contained in Article 96(3)… As you make your ruling, consider those two Articles of the Constitution. Articles 95 and 96 are the mother of all articles when it comes to issues that are to be transacted in this House and in the Senate. Why do I say so? They define our roles. If there are other Articles in the Constitution, they are to be considered as subsidiary to those two ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I urge this House to support the opinion that the Senate does not have a role to play in the Division of Revenue Bill, as we passed it in the first and second financial years in the 11th Parliament. We set a precedent. We passed the Bill and it was assented to and the country moved on very well. These other sideshows should be avoided. I beg to urge you to make a ruling as per the views of very many Members. Thank you. view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to second this important amendment Bill which was referred to our Committee when it was first brought to this House. I want to confirm that upon receipt our Committee went ahead to prosecute the Bill through publishing in the newspapers to invite for public participation. We confirm that on 13th June we did this and upon the expiry of the period, we had only received one memorandum from KNBS which we went ahead to discuss. Arising from the various consultations, we came up with proposed amendments which we will be moving ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: We had an engagement with KNBS together with the State Department for National Planning. During the Budget for the last two financial years we provided enough resources to ensure that census is carried out. As all of us know, we had various challenges which arose during the 2009 Census. To avoid that, we provided enough resources to ensure they prepare everything on time. The Leader of the Majority Party has spoken a lot about the various details of the Bill but in summary, I want to say that this Bill is actually aimed at ensuring that the data obtained from ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it also proposes penalties for those who will violate the various provisions. The Bill also empowers the KNBS to apply electronic means in collection of data so that the data will be as accurate as possible. This is expected to be carried out 24th and 25th August. We expect that this time round, the data collected will be accurate. I urge the various managers who will be conducting this census, especially the coordinators in the counties and sub-counties to ensure that the recruitment and training of enumerators and supervisors is actually done in a fair manner ... view
• 1 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: So as to allow the other Members to contribute, I beg to second the Statistics (Amendment) Bill, 2019. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I second. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to second the Senate amendments to the Public Private Partnerships (Amendment) Bill which was moved by the Leader of the Majority Party. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Our Committee considered these amendments and we made some decisions to support some of them. We will move amendments to some of them and reject some. This particular Bill intends to recognise the county governments as an entity in PPP contracts which previously was not in place because they are fairly new. During the Committee of the whole House, we will move several amendments. We considered some of the amendments as unnecessary, but we will move them because of the normal behaviour of the Senate. Currently, they make amendments to ensure that something happens. Some of the amendments are straightforward. ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I do not wish to add a lot of information to this Bill. I want to support what the Leader of the Majority Party has said. Anybody in this country is at liberty to participate during the law- making process, including the LSK. Therefore, they should be coming during the public participation or stakeholders’ consultations. They should not wait until when the Bill is in the final stages and they say that they want to come in. They do not have any opportunity in law. It is the same way they are trying to come in the Division of Revenue ... view
