• 21 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: What the Members raised in their contributions is fundamental. I want to follow what Hon. Millie Odhiambo, who is our senior, has said. I found her here. I admired what Millie used to do, but sometimes I did not. I do not want to say why I sometimes did not but what she said is very important. How can we go to benchmark in Rwanda? What has happened? Something has gone wrong in the country. That is why, as a Departmental Committee, on behalf of the House, we say that restructuring and reforming the aviation sector should be done today. ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: 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
• 21 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: It is true there is a problem in air travel particularly between West Africa and ourselves. Maybe this will be put together in the review. We have looked at it. At this level, that debate cannot come, reason being that we are only creating an institution in the constitution. The institution is called AFCAC which will have a bureau, plenary, and the secretariat. Once the institution is there, employment of people will fall right within the constitution in terms of provision of the gender principles. It cannot work the other way. Of course, as she said, once we adopt this, ... view
• 21 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to second my Leader of the Majority Party. Before I delve into this Bill, I would want to say in moving that as I walk on the corridors Members have been asking me about their next tranche for repairing roads, our normal Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) money. Therefore, I would like to announce that it is on the way to your constituencies, Members. By 21st you will get it in your local offices, that is the regional office. So, that is being done. KeRRA is very efficient. That ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Clause 9 talks about road standards. What happened is that Senate in their wisdom introduced consultation with the Council of Governors. We rejected. Reason being, this is against the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Standards of roads, according to the Constitution, are the responsibility of the national Government. So, where do governors come in? Governors have been provided with two opportunities of consultations: one at IBEC and one at the Summit chaired by the President. That is where they should concentrate. I do not know whether they do not raise their issues there and now they want to muscle the ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they also attempted to amend Clause 10 of our Bill, which is talking about classification of national Trunk Roads and county roads. They attempted to bring in the issue of consulting counties. Consultation without law and procedure is one way of saying that projects will not be done. In that spirit, my Committee rejected it. They went on to attempt to amend Clause 12, which is talking about the establishment of Kenya National Highways Authority. The same is replicated in Clause 14 and 17 in terms of agencies. We rejected this because they brought in the ... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The thinking of the Committee is that they have their functions. So, when they are given their functions and they leave them and come to other people’s offices, will they be working? We do not think so and therefore my Committee rejected. We ask that the House agrees with us. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: They also attempted to amend Clause 20 of the Bill, which talks about the Boards of the Kenya National Secondary Roads Authority that I have explained. They touched on Clause 44 which is talking about powers to enter into and alter positions of people. They brought in the aspect of consultation with counties and we rejected. view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: They amended Clause 47 on powers to take over and we rejected the aspect of consultation because we felt that it would cause delay. view
