Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Bill by Sen. Mungatana. This Bill will cure the inefficiencies and effectiveness that I have witnessed in the resolutions that have been made by the House. There is no follow up action from the Executive or the concerned officers. Considering the number of government institutions that we have to engage as a House and considering for example the President, the number of Ministries and semi-autonomous Government agencies that he needs to supervise. This Bill will not only help this House to ensure that the resolutions are followed up with ...

I hope that we shall find a way of making sure that the same is replicated in counties, so that Heads of Departments (HODs) can be taken to account whenever resolutions of Motions of county assemblies are not followed up with the requisite action.

Therefore, I support this Bill. As a ...

It will look like Parliament is disregarding the Public Service Commission in the decision yet we expect them to ...

In any case, this House and the National Assembly still have a chance when the names will be forwarded to this House for approval. So, on the question of selection, it will only be fair if we give them a chance to participate. Secondly, if you look at political parties, the Parliamentary Service Commission, we, as politicians of the House, have been adequately represented by those who are already sitting in that panel. Why should we feel so jittery in having other Kenyans participate in a process that will not be consumed by Parliament only but will be consumed by ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I speak to two things on matters impeachment. One, it will be important for this honorable House to follow on its own recommendations where it has been made in passing impeachment. There is need to amend Standing Order no. 82 that gives only 10 days to the Committee. For any Committee to do a more serious work in terms of reporting, there will be need to do that. Two, matters impeachment of a governor are not gender matters. We get completely disappointed when they are looked at in the eyes of gender. We are looking ...
