• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to put my word on this debate. I have listened carefully to what Hon. Ochieng’ has raised. Some of the issues he has raised are valid and we need to address them as a House. That is because they affect the wellbeing of the Members of this House. But when I listened to Hon. Ichung’wah, I came to realise that the matter is bigger than – Somalis have a saying that says: The voice is bigger than what you think. I see that there are people who are trying to canvass for certain ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: The other issue that has been raised by Hon. Ochieng’, I totally agree with him. We need to have a Kamukunji. This case reminds me of something. These are issues that we raised a long time ago, but they were never looked into properly because, at that time, people looked at things in a partisan manner. It reminds me of a friend whom we go with to a restaurant and eat good food with him. But when the last leg of the chicken is remaining, he remembers his driver and says: “Ooh, I forgot my driver outside”. Parliament’s time is ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: a perfect job, if we had dealt with those issues at that time. A notorious commissioner and she is known. She left us and joined another party which was registered one month ago. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in conclusion, I know you are just the Chair of the Commission. This is not a matter that we should take time to debate. It is a very straight forward case. The issues that have been raised by Hon. Ochieng’ can be addressed administratively. Your Office can deal with them administratively as the Chair of the Commission. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: But the issue of who is going to get a job, that should be left to the Commission. If people have interests in certain individuals, they cannot use the Floor of the House to canvass. Canvassing can lead to disqualification for the candidate who is being canvassed for. Madam Sarah Kioko knows that she is too senior and she is qualified for the job. If she was interested in the job, she should apply for it. You do not need to prompt her by telling her to apply for the job. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the guidance you have given us. We stand guided. Having said that, as the Minority Whip in this House, we have no one to address other than the Speaker in this House. That is the rule. Hon. Speaker, the issue you have addressed is a very weighty one on the Minority side. You have put facts very clearly, and we agree with you. It is true that Speakers are sponsored by political parties. I can remember that in 2013, we sponsored Hon. Marende as the Minority coalition party, and we were defeated by the Jubilee ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: constitutional right to join any political formation he wants. In the last elections you were sponsored by the Jubilee Party. The records that are now available politically at the Registrar of Political Parties, show that you are the party leader of the Democratic Party. That is not the Jubilee Party that sponsored you. You have formed a coalition with Kenya Kwanza, which is another formation outside Jubilee Party. Hon. Speaker, we have never doubted your impartiality. Let that be on record. We have never, so far. When we saw you in a ceremony in a hotel in Karen, signing as ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: They are the ones chairing you on, and I do not know for what reason. Do they think that because you are now in Kenya Kwanza Coalition, you are their Speaker? I do not know why Hon. Duale is so happy when you are talking? I am very happy that you have given us time to express and ventilate what we think. We want to have the House handled the way it has been done for the last nine years under your leadership. We are only worried that going forward, now that the political dynamics have changed, Hon. Fatuma Gedi ... view
• 14 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: We support all that, and we have no problem with that. But honestly speaking, this House must be impartial, and should be conducted in a…You are the custodian of the Standing Orders, and you are the one applying them against us in this House. I do not know whether the rule of impartiality, natural justice and fairness will be accorded to us, as the Minority of this House; and whether Hon. Fatuma Gedi will get fair treatment and judgment on the issues that she has raised. Those are the issues that are worrying us. Thank you. view
