• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion, but regrettably, it appears that the posts that have been decided lately, it has been a balancing act and horse trading. We hope that this will be the last time and we hope that, progressively, we will move more to merit, not horse trading and balancing. I support. view
• 26 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just one and a half words; this is a woman of distinction. This is a good ending because the women of Kenya are happy that a woman of distinction has been recognized. I support. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand in support of the Motion. I notice that like all other new institutions, we are saying the salaries of the members of the CRA shall be determined by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), which begs the question: What is the Executive waiting for? We need members of the SRC appointed. Otherwise, all salaries that are being negotiated are actually irregular under the Constitution, so long as they are not sanctioned by the SRC. I want to draw the attention view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of this Bill, which is timely, but which has one or two things that the Minister needs to focus on. You will realize that this Board that is being created to manage and maintain the population register, administration of all laws relating to births, deaths, identification, registration of citizens, marriages and administration of all laws relating to that, is such a crucial Board. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand in support of this Motion. I think that we need to appreciate that when a loan is guaranteed, it is a liability conferred upon all the citizens of Kenya. So, if the loan will be guaranteed and Parliament is going to be informed afterwards, then I do not see the need of even informing Parliament. Therefore, Clause 5 ought to be amended so that the authority of Parliament be sought first and then when the guarantees are done, Parliament be appraised of the National Debt. What is happening around the world today is ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to propose a further amendment to the amendment. This is to reduce the number of commissioners to three. This is an investigatory Commission and the fewer the number of the people, the better for purposes of moving forward. Since they will be on policy and on day to day issues, there will be the secretary, I move that we further amend to three commissioners; the chair and two commissioners. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I agree with the amendment. Initially, I thought there was just bad blood for removing the Director and Deputy Directors; having looked at the other provisions of the Constitution, I realised that this is a different structure of a Commission that is now being created. While the other one has an Advisory Board, this one has Commissioners. Whereas the other one has a Director, this one will have a Secretary. So, I support. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to propose a further amendment to the amendment. The object of my further amendment is so that we safeguard the integrity of the investigation files, exhibits and records, pending hand over. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 39 be further amended as follows- (a) Part III of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 shall stand repealed within 90 days of the assent to this Act or upon the appointment of the Commission under this Act, whichever is early (b) The functions of the Commission under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 pending the appointment of the Commission under this Act, shall be limited to safeguarding the integrity of the investigation files and exhibits or records and assets of the Commission for hand over to the incoming Commission. This means ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson. I am very sad that hon. Rachel Shebesh can give an incorrect position. Yes, I am a member of the Committee. However, she knows that I did not sit in that particular sub-committee. We divided ourselves and I was in the one handling the Electoral Bill. I, therefore, never supported any such thing. I discussed it with the Chairman and I have proposed an amendment with the support of the Chairman. I beg to support. view
