• 17 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: So, I stand to support. Thank you. view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. The initial intention of the Bill was to realize revenue that would be ploughed back to support the poor through service delivery. However, I am pleased that the consultations with stakeholders have borne results by having most of the basic necessities exempted. Most fundamentally is the need to put checks and balances at the revenue collection points. I believe that corruption and fraud are the order of the day at these points. This is where the Government should focus its attention. It defeats our very purpose of levying ... view
• 30 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I will be very brief. The fighting is going on now. The security personnel in Turkana have run short of ammunition. I want to commend the Kenya Marine boats for responding and taking security personnel to the area. For once, there has been response in time. I would like to urge the Cabinet Secretary in charge of security to increase marine boats and forces in the region. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. Before I continue, I would like to make two clarifications. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The extension of the deadline by this august House, in its wisdom, is acceptable and has no legal implications. We consulted with the Attorney-General (AG) in a consultative meeting this morning; the Kenya Law Reform Commission and the Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and it was confirmed that the extension will have no implications. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would like to clarify that the extension we are seeking is not for publication purposes, but for the whole process until enactment. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to underscore the importance of this august House to undertake the standard mechanism of consulting all the stakeholders before the Bill is passed. The legislative procedure has to be followed and there is need to fine tune the Bill to reflect the national agenda and meet the constitutional requirement. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have just been told that these Bills were forwarded to Parliament last Friday and the House will be going on recess; therefore, it means there will be no adequate time for us to ventilate and apply the standard mechanism. view
• 23 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) is also alive to the fact that there were only three Bills that were supposed to be passed within these first three years. One of them is on the county assembly gender balance and diversity as required under Article 197. The other one is on the public participation and county assembly privileges and immunities as required under Article 196. Those two view
• 2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion not because Turkana County is prone to flooding, but because it is a necessity for the whole country. Just to cite Turkana, flooding is just one of the disasters that befall that county. Sometimes I wonder what to call the rest of the disasters because droughts are disasters as well. In terms of insecurity, massacres are disasters. There are fires that come with droughts. They are all disasters. I am aware of a pending Bill on a drought management Authority. I tend to think that the “D” should ... view
