  • 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: years. It is high time we brought them back to our borders so that they can defend and protect us from inside the country. I know some of our people might not accept that. But, that business is now enough. Enough of it has been done. It is high time the soldiers came back to Kenya. They have done their work. Somalia is almost stable. Somalia is almost functioning as a country. They have a president and everything; they have their own soldiers now, soldiers who have been trained in our country and sent there to do their work. So, ... view

  • 31 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party in order to discuss the conduct and the lifestyle of the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party in the Senate who has graduated from being an MCA without bringing a Substantive Motion? Does it mean you cannot graduate from being an MCA to a Senator in this country? view
  • 25 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, is the Chairman in order to say that there was interference even from his own Committee and other quotas? This is the plenary but not the Committee. The general public wants to know what happened. It is a very weighty matter. This man was nominated to be the Chairman of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). He is not a small man. Let the Chairman substantiate this interference or withdraw his remarks. view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also stand to add my voice to the issue you have very well elaborated. Parliament cannot run like this! What the Senate is doing in this matter should not be trivialised. It is a very important matter in the functioning of Parliament, the Senate and the National Assembly. The Constitution and the Standing Orders are there to guide us. This is a matter that was canvassed in the House in the 11th Parliament when you were the Speaker. We thought that the matter will end and everybody will adhere to the Constitution. I used to ... view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The Constitution is very clear. Every House has been given its function under Articles 95 and 96. Article 95 of the Constitution says that the National Assembly enacts legislation and laws. Article 96 of the Constitution says that the Senate participates in law making. They do not make law. view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I am reading from the Constitution. They participate in law making; they do not enact laws. It is the way Bills are taken for public participation. That is the same way the Senate participates. I am not the one who wrote the Constitution. It is here. Article 96 (2) says that the Senate participates in law making functions of Parliament concerning the counties; not even laws concerning other issues. I am saying this because it has now become too much. They summon anyone under the sun using Article 125 of the Constitution. Article 125 should be used to summon someone ... view
  • 24 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: people in the Senate can understand. It looks like there is a problem of understanding the Constitution in the Senate. We need to translate it so that every Member of that House can understand the Constitution in mother tongue. They are only 67. I am sure there are not more than seven communities. The Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) can afford that. For example, a day before we went on recess, the Committee on Lands presented a report to this National Assembly on the Ruaraka Land and we passed it. The same guys went ahead and summoned other people. What powers ... view
