• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. No, it is not on this issue. I had an issue I wanted to bring to your attention and the House. That a catastrophe has visited this country and specifically this House raised by the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya. Yesterday in the news, I saw the Chief Justice has advised the President to dissolve Parliament. I also saw documents circulated by Parliament, with detailed information that you shared with the Chief Justice. I came to realise that either the Chief Justice did not read your detailed information or ignored it. ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: of Government can just be dissolved at the whims of one person, it really pains people. There are many issues that need to be canvassed because this is not a decision of one person. Each of the Members you are seeing here were elected by the people of this Republic. They are all carrying the mandate of the people of this country. Unlike the Executive or Judiciary who go through the process of appointment and some of them are even vetted in this House. This is the only organ of government that is directly vetted by the people themselves. view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: These are issues I want to raise because I felt that the Chief Justice either ignored or decided to close his eyes on them. Maybe this is because he knows he is going home and wanted to release a bombshell and then go home. So that, the person who comes after him can handle the aftermath of that bombshell. He is leaving with a bang. When Kenyans passed the Constitution in 2010, they gave us five years to legislate on the issue of the two-thirds gender rule. The question that has been going through my mind for the last 24 ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Article 27 of the Constitution talks about the State providing a legislative mechanism of party action. It is not talking about Parliament. How does the State provide? They do so through a referendum. We cannot conduct a referendum as Parliament. How does he want us to increase? Article 97 says the National Assembly consists of 290 Members of Parliament from single member constituencies, 47 women county representatives and 12 nominated members. You can achieve the gender parity in the 47 women and the 12 nominations. How do you achieve gender parity in a fixed constituency of 290? If we were ... view
• 22 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Justice, he has never gone on leave. They were saying that cumulatively, he has four months to go for leave. So, the four months should have begun in August. I do not know whether this advisory now is valid. This is because if you were supposed to be on leave and you are issuing an advisory at this point in time when your time has expired, how can somebody take your advice seriously? For example, when Parliament goes for the long recess for the elections in May and then you issue your communication in July, who will take your communication ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to, first, thank the Committee and the owner of the Bill. This Bill is very timely and is going to alleviate problems that we have seen our former colleagues face. If you look at the age bracket of the former MPs this Bill is targeting, these are people who are in dire need of assistance. Some of them are of old age. They are about 70 and 80 years. I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: attended the burial of one or two. They were really in dire need of help. They were buried as destitutes. Having said that, I want to agree with the former Leader of the Majority Party that it might spiral into other parts of the Civil Service, but the issue of Article 114 of the Constitution is partly an advice. It is supposed to advise. That is why Bills are taken to the Budget and Appropriations Committee so that they decide on the issue properly. If the National Treasury has advised in one way or the other, it is the prerogative ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support and urge the President to assent to this Bill. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to support the Petition that has just been read by the Member for Lang’ata. This matter is of very great national importance. Here in Parliament is where issues of concern to the citizens are discussed. That is why we sit here every week, three or four times, even with the coronavirus pandemic. The land in question has been claimed to have been forest land. view
