• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I find it injurious to the Constitution and Parliament for a Committee to ask this House to adopt something we know is not practical. I have read their prayer No.1. They say, “Postpone everything until the Committee inquiry is concluded.” I have a problem with the word ‘committee’. The first question I have asked myself is: Which committee? This is PIC. Therefore, this means they are injuncting all other committees from doing their work, as provided for in Standing Order No.216 and Article 124 of the Constitution that creates committees of this House. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I find this unconstitutional. It is not in order or clear. I do not know who drew this recommendation. I am not blaming my colleague who asked for votes like me. I think the clerking and legislative part of this Committee has a problem. If they wanted to injunct other committees, there is also the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. What if there are issues concerning labour? Have they been injuncted? Is this Committee asking the House to injunct all the other committees? I find that irrelevant. That is why we are calling for your leadership. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As we move forward, are we going to injunct Government policies? So, when the Government brings a policy, we injunct it and if tomorrow another one comes, we also injunct it! Where will the separation of power be? What is before us is a proposal.

• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: alongside what Members are saying on sessional papers. In my opinion and as the Chair of a Committee, the sessional paper will come. However, it will come when the consummation of marriage is real. At the moment, KQ has written a proposal which is before my Committee and we are looking at it. It has written to KAA, and they have not replied to state whether it is applicable or not and give other options. view
• 7 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, a sessional paper will come to this House asking for what? So, once KAA replies agreeing or giving a proposal of the merger or disagreeing… If it is accepted by Cabinet, then that is how that document will find itself in this House - as a sessional paper giving birth to amendment of laws and consummation of marriage. There is nothing before us but only a proposal. As I conclude my presentation, what is the role of PIC according to Standing Order No. 206? Last week, you ruled that they draw their mandate from audited accounts or special audits. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank my brother from another mother, Hon. Didmus Barasa. Let me also add my voice as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing. I came back because I wanted to listen to the contribution by other Members. This is critical. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I want to tell Hon. Didmus that this is a very important Motion. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker it can be more important when it becomes a Bill. I want to ask Hon. Didmus, through the Speaker, to come up with a Bill. We were also discussing this issue in our Committee. We cannot debate issues of fares because it is a serious matter. There is no law that regulates fares. It is left to the private sector. So, we are leaving Kenyans to hyenas. Public transport in this country is private. We have been thinking of making it public. We ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: As I conclude, the Ministry has seen very good proposals about commuter railway which is the future of this country, because it is 100 per cent public. We will do a lot of things that will promote this. Hon. Didmus, I am with you. Bring a Bill and I will support you. view

That is very important to be noted. People are travelling. view
