• 9 Oct 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise in accordance with Standing Order No. 53(3) to request you to defer putting of the Question to another day. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Committee on Implementation is looking for a scapegoat for their work. Yesterday, the Chair of the Committee on Delegated Legislation laid out the statistics in terms of the number of regulations that we have adopted. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for the Member to invoke that it is the Committee to do capacity-building for the regulations-making bodies? It is not right. We have our role as a Committee and it is for the Committee on Implementation to find out how they can improve their capacity to come up with regulations as they should. More importantly, the Committee on Implementation is dealing with a lot of Motions that have been passed in this House. It should do its work and report to us how many Motions have actually been implemented and let ... view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, picking from what Hon. Mbadi has said, my contribution to the Chairman is that, if you read No. 2, it says that the Central Bank shall prescribe the regulations under sub-section 1 within 30 days of coming into force with this section. What we are running away from is the fact that these regulations, however illegal, have been in application. So, what we are trying to do is put it in a proper way. My proposal would be, from the Delegated Legislation Committee point of view, is that we put it and anchor it ... view

• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am a member of the Committee. I rise to support and say one thing. We have worked thoroughly hard as the Committee on Delegated Legislation. One challenge we have is that the Statutory Instruments Act does not give a window for amendment of regulations. The ones that we pass do not necessarily come here. So, you will not hear about them. They become self-enacting. That is why Members must be aware that the work we do is not just to sing to the Government’s tune. It is to do our work. Where there is a ... view
• 29 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the Chair of our Committee for ably presenting this Report. I rise to second it. The reasons have been thoroughly explained by our Chair. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We must look at the issue of the speculative nature of the Kshs200million which is proposed to be put in that Fund. There is no explanation whatsoever of how that amount was arrived at. It was not in the 2018/2019 Financial Year budgetary estimates. We find it speculative. These regulations are generally ultra vires . They have conflicted with four statutory laws, the Statutory Instruments Act, the PFM Act and the Air Service Charge Act. There is no better way to explain that they are ultra vires . Transparency, oversight and policy implementation are very critical in Government. The regulations ... view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: There is also conflict with other established bodies. We have the Ministry of Tourism, the Kenya Tourism Board and Brand Kenya that does the work that the Fund is meant to do. The CS proposes that Government institutions can access the Fund through application and legal procedure. That does not make sense because it will add the budget of Kenyans and the wage budgets that are in those bodies. We had a Committee that was set up in the past to rationalise how we can limit the number of parastatals in the Government. This is already an extra one which ... view
