• 28 Jul 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is good that you have recognised some of us who are not members of this Committee to give our views. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: When Section 180 of the Act as read with Section 15 of the Statutory Instruments Act speak about some of those regulations or instruments which should come before the National 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
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Assembly for scrutiny, we should ask ourselves why is it that some of them can go directly to regulation-making authorities and when some of them have to be approved by the House. In my submission, those of which must come to the Plenary must receive thorough scrutiny. The threshold of scrutiny is enhanced. That does not surprise us of the instruments which deal with finances and which deal with procurement because it is the intention of the law that those instruments are particularly and specifically in accordance with both the Constitution and the laws around it. view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: So, when I look at the Statutory Instrument that has been before us, and has been argued well by Hon. Gedi, in fact, she has spoken like five main lawyers in one and when Hon. Kaluma and Hon. T.J. Kajwang’ will one day join her Committee, she will be spoilt for choice of who will be her Vice-Chair because she is definitely the Chair.

With these Regulations, it ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, it has to do with the sentencing. Hon. Gedi must now spread her bed of roses; not on thorns because in the general law by which one of our Members was a victim last week, if there is a problem, let us say, Kshs100,000 has been misappropriated, all the court will do is to multiply it by two and get you to pay it. That is how those people are paying billions of shillings as fines. So, we must see how the spirit of sentencing and spirit of penal law under that Regulation has accorded to the Act. Otherwise, ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: If you give me one minute, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker to wind up, I will talk about the issue of procurement entities who have decided that because there is a threshold of procurement, they will generally flout them because there is no direct mechanism of anchoring them. These regulations have now allowed them. It like it has broken procurement law in smaller bits that they can now know how to do e-claims and how to do disposals. Those of us who are in Public Accounts Committee or in the Special Funds Accounts Committee will now have instruments by which we ... view
• 30 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: The Committees that have oversight responsibilities or mandates by Articles 94 and 95 of the Constitution will not have direct legislative power by which they can withhold procurement entities so that a procurement entity cannot come and say that the law did not go into telling them how that mechanics can be worked. view
