• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Kenafric Industries Limited that employs more than 15,000 people from the low neighbourhood. If these people were to close shop, I would have more than 15,000 or so mouths looking for me to be able to feed them. This is an interest which is not monetary but an interest which brings me to the House. This chocolate business is a very important subject. It made me differ with my party leader last week. Every Member of Parliament’s chocolate is in the mwananchi who votes for me and any time you step on my chocolate, I will speak all the English ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, allow me to congratulate the Committee on Implementation because they are wise people. I am proud because they come from this side of the House where I am. This side of the House produces wonderful people. You see it in Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and Public Investments Committee (PIC) everyday, and reports are generated here before the House. The Majority Party must be very jealous of the kind of steam power that comes from this side of the House that I am. The Committee on Implementation was considered dead in the 11th Parliament. My learned friend who is ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Coming to what we have now, we passed an adverse finding against Kenafric Industries Limited. Their licences were withdrawn. You resuscitated them by ordering abatement of the suspension of their licences. You can see how many people out there would have suffered because of an act of negligence or commission by this House. Because of the orderly consideration that you made, these people are able to trade and manufacture now. These are not importers. I want my friend, the Majority Chief Whip, to allow me to state this because he needs to understand that Kenafric Industries Limited are not importers ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: When we talk about sugar, the Majority Chief Whip reacts the way I react when we talk about confectionery and chocolate. This is because we are representing the people who brought us here. However, these people have nothing to do with table sugar. They are industrialists. They only employ Kenyans, so that we are able to serve East Africans as we serve the world. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Without adding much, Hon. Speaker, I want to congratulate you for listening to Ruaraka people and the Committee on Implementation for listening to us and giving us justice. So, I support the re-consideration of the decision. It also teaches us that this House has powers to re- consider its decisions. We resolve things but we also have powers to re-consider them when we think we may have been wrong or acted against the law. This should make our Members know that they can at some point, by way of petition or a Motion which is well coached, bring Motions here ... view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Speaker, I beg to support. Thank you so much. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise on Standing Order No.95. These matters have been debated and canvassed by the Leader of the Majority Party and responded to by the Leader of the Minority Party. This Procedural Motion is for our information. Therefore, I request that the Mover, be called upon to reply. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 20 Sep 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, allow me to raise a point of order. Protect me from the Chief Whip, who is standing between me and the Chair. In keeping with the Standing Orders, in Committees of the whole House, we always begin with other substantive parts of the Bill before we come to the definitive clauses of the Bill. This is because as you will realize, the term “winnings” was never either in the Bill before or in the text that was taken to the President. There will be issues as to whether the definition of the term “winnings” will affect ... view
