• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: They are not voting machines. They are voting voices. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I withdraw unconditionally and apologise. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: We are all interested in quality legislation. We are not interested in rabble rousing. Even if Hon. Nyikal and I were to be here ourselves, just the two of us, we will be the two last men standing and we are here for the love of legislation in this country. So, it does not matter. The rationale here is to make the correct reference in legislative practice to the National Treasury. That is number one. Secondly, it is to locate ministerial responsibility to a Cabinet Secretary. Hon. Kimunya has lobbied me on this and it is normal. He has asked ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: CS. So, in legislative practice as we know it, we refer to it as the CS responsible for matters of the National Treasury. That is how it is unless I am reading the law in different terms. So, I propose. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you know Hon. Kimunya is senior than me. In the words of the Leader of the Majority Party, he is a ranking Member, but that does not dispose you from how you are able to read the legislation. The Chairman has just made an amendment by which the words “regulations made by” have been inserted.

So, it is not regulations made by the National Treasury anymore. It is regulations made by the CS ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Before I was on a point of order. Now I have a right of reply. That may be very well. Member for Kipipiri is making very good submissions on this. My point of departure is very simple. As delegated legislation, there must be a singular person with ministerial powers, and anybody sitting in the Committee on Delegated Legislation will tell you that they are dealing with legislation made by a single individual called a CS however big that institution is.

• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we need respect and proper management of the affairs here. If a Member is asking for clarification, that clarification can only come from the Chair of the Committee who is seized of the information that he got from the public participation. Any other Member here might not know that same information. There is a tendency - which may or may not amount to bullying on the Floor of the House - which we cannot accept. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is one of those amendments that I want to support the Chair of the Committee. The reasoning comes from what the Leader of the Majority Party had said before but not what he has said now. In a subsequent Finance Bill, we will discuss the extent and scope of PPP. Clause 67 talks about roads. It has not limited itself on anything, including those roads which may be subject to tolls or PPP. It will then be a situation in which somebody levies fees for some reasons without a direction. I am more persuaded by ... view
