• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: and other extended preliminaries such that you find that even if you are compensated for that interest, you still lose. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: On sexual harassment which was mentioned by Hon. Millie Odhiambo, I would like to say that it is not only women who are harassed. You should go to some of these procurement entities which have been flooded by ladies. I would encourage you to visit them. Some people lost their jobs at the National Youth Service because of harassment by our ladies. So, do not just look at it as if it is only ladies who are harassed. As you make that amendment, also remember us men because we also can be harassed. Imagine if you are invaded by 10 ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I was supporting the gender Bill. Gender does not necessarily mean women. I come from Murang’a South which is represented by Hon. Alice Wahome, Hon. Ruth Mwaniki, Hon. Mary Wamauwa and myself. Out of the four Hon. Members I am the only man and so I am the disadvantaged gender there. Let us not make it look like it is only ladies who must be nominated. Maybe, next time I will be nominated to Parliament. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support with some amendments which I will move when it comes to the Committee of the whole House. view
• 21 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to also make my contribution towards this Bill. From the outset, in my constituency we need more men. I want to demonstrate how. This Bill is not about women only but about gender, both men and women. I come from Murang’a County which is divided into Murang’a south and north. Murang’a South has Gatanga, Maragwa and Kandara. Kigumo is represented by Hon. Ruth Mwaniki. Kandara is represented by Hon. Alice Wahome. view

• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. I am interested in the amendment to the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act. If you look at the Bill, most of these amendments are here. At the outset, I would like to oppose the Bill. view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: The definition of “procurement professional” is given on page 521. The Act says that a procurement professional means a person who has professional qualifications in procurement or supply chain management from a recognised institution, and he is a member of the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management which was established under the Supplies Practitioners Management Act, 2007 (No.20 of 2007). This procurement professional is somebody who has tried to find space over the years. If you look at the Budget which we passed in this Parliament, a lot of money goes towards infrastructure where a lot of money is provided for ... view
• 13 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: This procurement professional is supposed to be a member of the Kenya Institute of Supplies and Management which is an association. It is not like what happens for the doctors who are regulated by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. Architects and quantity surveyors are regulated by the Architects and Quantity Surveyors Board. The engineers are regulated by the Engineers Registration Board. So, with these, you find that you can be a student at the Kenya Institute of Supplies Management and you call yourself a professional procurement officer. Having interacted with the public service, I can say that most ... view
