29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This kind of ranking is totally unfair. One thing that I have come to understand as a Member of Parliament is that not many people understand the work of a Member of Parliament. So, they are totally in darkness as they continue conducting research and opinion polls. For me, this is totally wrong. Hon.

On this note, I would like to ask the ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very important Committee and I want to support my colleagues who have said so. Whatever we pass in this House must be implemented to the letter. Therefore, I would like to ask the Chairpersons of Committees to take it upon themselves and follow up on what is passed in the Committees so that it is implemented.

At the same time, it is the House that handles money bills, appropriation bills and even gives authority to incur expenses and the budget itself. This ...

I remember Hon. Kimunya, Hon. Chachu Ganya, I and others were in the 10th Parliament. That is the time the Government used to sit in the House. We used to have ministers here and everybody else. So, anytime there were those kinds of Motions, they were taken very seriously and they were followed. So, I tend to think that the Committee on Implementation… We want to support and give you the tools and impetus to make sure you pursue those cases. Whenever recommendations are done that are implementable or actionable, please, summon those people and let them tell us how ...

We have seen so many people in acting positions in this country and the committees have been talking about this again and again. I can give an example of the CEO of the NG-CDF Board who acted for over 10 years and recommendations were done again and again. Nothing was going on. So, I tend to think that the Executive must take this House very seriously because, if you do not take this House seriously as the Executive or as the Accounting Officer of this nation, it can The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ...

easily pull you down. That is because you are not working if you are not working for the people. That is why I want to support BBI and say that when it is presented, I think the Government must come back to this House so that we can be able…

29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly:
The principle objective of this Bill is to provide a framework for effective public participation. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 ushered in a new system of governance that places the people at the centre of governance. Accordingly, all public processes ranging from policy making, legislative process and other ultimate decision-making require the participation of the people of Kenya. Our Constitution actually puts everything around the public. So, the public has a say on everything that we do. And even this comes from God Himself, when he made man to be at the centre of the universe. That is the anthropocentric ...
