• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I remind my good brother that when it comes to counties, the IEBC comes in. Some of the towns and urban centres might cross to another county and that is why the IEBC is very critical. 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
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to oppose the proposed amendment by my brother. The bigger reason I am opposing is that the Member has forgotten that the cities we are creating under this law are development units. When they are development units, you need to share resources fairly. The Constitution says that there should be fair distribution of resources in terms of geographical representation. One way of sharing resources is population. So, you cannot rule out population when you are doing cities. These are not techno cities. Maybe that is the problem with ICT persons. They might ... view

• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2017) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to second the Bill. I would also like to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for extending that honour to me. I want to agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that this Bill from the Senate is attempting to do a very important thing which is to create structures in our cities. As we sit today, there is nothing like Nairobi City, Mombasa City, Kisumu City or even towns like Eldoret Town. This is because when the new Constitution came in and created wards, our cities were divided ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: our report which hon. Members must have gotten opportunity to look at. It is saying that a city will have a population of above 250,000. As Hon. Duale said, that is debatable and Members can debate but that is the wisdom of our honourable Members. This will make our cities five if you were to look at it from population perspective. The second is about municipalities. We used to hear municipalities in the last Constitution and in the last Parliament but this Bill is proposing that we reduce the number from 250,000 to a minimum of 50,000. The third point ... view
• 3 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Newspapers of Friday, 13th July 2018, as provided for in our Constitution. This gives me an opportunity to share with you something about public participation. This is something critical that we need to think as a country in both Houses. If the Bill originated from the Senate, as is the case here, then they have done public participation. Why would we go on as National Assembly to do public participation? It is repetitive, in my view. Maybe that calls for us to think about it. That is wasting taxpayers’ money. In fact, you will see that when we called these ... view
