  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to help the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Energy that he is pleading with the House. After all, the payment he is asking the House to approve is part of the Article 223, the ones that have already been paid. He is in charge of that departmental committee. I plead with the House that we make it part of the approval. The Chairman should table an amendment in the next Sitting. I plead with the House to help the Chairman. He just wants to tidy up his department. After all, the money has ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In my last contribution when you made a ruling on political parties, I said it on record here that there are no proper independent Members in the House. When I was talking on that matter, I was specifically referring to the same Member. This is because, he came to this House as an independent Member, but he has turned out to be more dangerous than even Members who are in serious political parties. Hon. Speaker, this Member, in the last general election, came and sought our party ticket as the Director of Elections and we denied ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The Standing Orders are very clear that for you to impeach a State officer under Standing Order 64 (1A) (c), you must produce the evidence you want to use against the State officer. This Member has just collected documents from River Road. He could not produce evidence in Parliament and is now trying to malign the names of Kenyans out there. He has been saying the Speaker has denied him the opportunity to impeach a Cabinet Secretary in this House. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: This is not the first time a Member has filed a Motion against a Cabinet Secretary. For those of us who were in the last Parliament we discussed Prof. Kaimenyi a whole afternoon and the Speaker approved it. Hon. Speaker, we even discussed you. Remember somebody brought a Motion against you and we discussed you a whole afternoon. That is how transparent this Parliament is. We have a Member who was a former journalist. You know the rules of journalism and those of Parliament are totally different. You cannot apply the rules of journalism here. In journalism you look for ... view
  • 25 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: but Parliament. Now, he has become jicho pesa and stopped being jicho pevu. He is looking for money by smelling for it everywhere like a rat. With those few remarks, that MP must be named. view
  • 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I congratulate the new Leader of the Majority Party for assuming his new role. At the same time, I also thank the former Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale, for the good job he has done in this House. I was in the 11th Parliament when Hon. Duale was the Leader of the Majority Party then. That Parliament was more difficult than this one. This one is under the framework of the Handshake. The temperatures have gone down. In the last Parliament, the Leader of ... view
  • 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. It is this COVID-19 problem. I wanted to remind the Chair emeritus, the former Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, that how can the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee then ask for payment of pending bills from another Committee when he is the one who had all the money? He is the one who was giving people money left, right and centre. He is just passing the buck. The money was with him. He should have just allocated the money and the battle would have ended there. view
  • 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: So, I am shocked that he is asking for money from another Committee. 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
  • 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the re-committal. Let us not split hairs. I remember when we were passing amendments to the law on tax, the Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee then, Hon. Ichung’wah, said if we passed the Tax Law (Amendments) Bill, we were going to lose Ksh80 billion. view
  • 23 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker there is a baraza here from Nyandarua. He said we were going to lose Ksh 80 billion in the Budget and that the move was not going to help Kenyans. We reduced the VAT from 16 per cent to 14 per cent. We reduced the corporate tax from 30 per cent to 25 per cent. As we speak now, let us not tell Kenyans lies. If this Bill is signed with this re-committal going through, it means at the stroke of a pen when the President assents to it, unga will be zero- rated. It is for a ... view
