• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me speak in English on this one. There is a very bad trend that has been happening in our country for the last one week. We have said more than once that it is only this Parliament that has the mandate of budget- making powers in the Constitution. The budget process begins sometimes in October in this House and when we come back from the long recess, the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury presents the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), which we discuss and that gives us the cornerstone and the foundation of the budget-making ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: today. We sat last week and we will sit next week. I am sure the Treasury has also written to Parliament that they need to cut their budget. That is just a letter of intent telling you that: “Can we talk over something?” The Judiciary should not also go to the extreme of taking the matter and giving a court order and saying that they shall ignore the circular. That is not the way to go about it. The Judiciary has gone to the extreme. For example, the budget has been cut or is intended to be cut, but nothing ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to contribute to this matter. We should separate issues. There are people who are called herders who invaded the game reserve. There are people who live in the villages. I was told that there are people who have had houses there for over 30 years and they were demolished. We are in a country that is governed through the rule of law. When you want to demolish people’s property, you must give them notice unless they are on riparian land like what we see being demolished here in Nairobi where they block ... view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: We cannot substantiate the obvious. The Government must govern the people of Kenya through the rule of law; otherwise, tomorrow we will have other people evicted elsewhere in the country. My parting shot is that we must adhere to the rule of law. Short of that, we will witness genocide in this country. view

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this matter. First, I want to thank the Committee for this important Bill. This Bill dismisses the myth that we have lived with for the last seven years. That, if we do not pass the two-thirds gender Bill Parliament will be dissolved. I have been agonising quietly on that matter. It was a lie that somebody will move to the Supreme Court and dissolve the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. I do not know how that lie gained momentum all over the country. Article 27(8) of the ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: To conclude, this issue has been longstanding. Since the Constitution was promulgated, we have been on this issue. Today is a great day for this country because we have found a solution to this problem. The best practices in the world — if you look at the US or the UK — democracies that are over 100 years, did not go through these shenanigans we have been having for the last seven years: that we must have two-thirds. With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I support the Bill. But women must introspect. They must talk to themselves. How comes more ... view
