  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Now, sirens should be allowed for only the former Presidents, the former Vice-Presidents, the former Deputy Presidents and the former Prime Minister. Those should be the only ones who should be allowed to use sirens in this country. Those are very senior people in this country who are used to those kinds of lives. But those people who have just been appointed the other day, eti Minister! Atembee na mguu. Ahsante sana. view
  • 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity as the Acting Leader of the Minority Party. I thank the House for the good work it has done. I want to thank, especially, the Leader of the Majority Party for conceding to remove many contentious matters in this Bill. This is the spirit we require when handling Bills in this House. There are major Bills that are coming up very soon. We have just launched Okoa Kenya today. We want this unity of purpose so that two- thirds of the membership here passes that Bill when it comes ... view
  • 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
  • 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to ask the Leader of Majority Party whether he is order to discuss the conduct of a governor when he knows that public funds were given to the County Government of Bomet and not the Governor of Bomet? Is he in order to mislead the House that the Governor must account for that money when he knows that the money was given to the county Government? view
  • 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise under the Standing Order No.95. I would like to request that the Mover be called upon to reply because this issue has been debated since Tuesday last week and Members are even deviating and discussing governors, which is not part of the Finance Bill. The Leader of Majority Party was discussing hon. Isaac Rutto, hon. Kabogo and Mr. Ranguma, who are not in this House. The Member for Dagoretti South is discussing Governor Kabogo, who is not here. We are discussing the Finance Bill and so, it means that people have exhausted everything that ... view
  • 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, but I will be bringing some amendments to it. I believe that there are many amendments that are contained in this Bill that are of good value. If I may highlight some of them, there is the National Youth Council Act. I have seen amendments that are going to introduce new Members to the National Youth Council Board. They are from the Kenya Private Sector Alliance, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (NACADA). If those ... view
  • 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Another Act which is being amended is the Salaries and Remuneration Act. I do not see why Members of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission should be full time The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
  • 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: members. These are people who have been put in place constitutionally just to set the salaries of public officers. Once they set those salaries, they do not have any other business to do. What happens in a situation where in two years they have set all the salaries and the reviews will be made after five years? Are they going to remain in office all that time earning public money and staying without any work? Making them permanent employees is a serious problem that is going to affect the public coffers. view
  • 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I am very happy about the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act, where it is entrenching the position of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). In this country, the commissions that we have under Chapter 15 need to have very strong secretariats that can run for many years, because commissioners are like board members, they work for a certain period of time and leave. But when we strengthen the secretariat of any commission, the commissioners need to know that their jobs are not full time. The secretariat is the one that does the daily work of the commission. So, by strengthening the position ... view
  • 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Another issue that is very good in the amendment Bill is the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) where we are going to have people who are representing the workers themselves; people who are contributing to that Fund sitting in the board, so that they can deliberate on how health services can be improved. view
