• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The establishment of a Board is treated very casually. It shows that you can introduce it through mischief and regulations. It must come here as a proper Act of Parliament. They must not take a shortcut to establish a Board because it is a major issue. This is not an issue that can 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
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: come through a subsidiary legislation. Therefore, I support what the Chair has said. There are enough compelling reasons for us to reject these Regulations. Finally, on the issue of public participation, Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution provide for inclusiveness. The fact that these Regulations were not accompanied by a memorandum to explain them, there is no way we can verify that there was enough consultations. If we adopt these Regulations in the way they are, we would be taking the word of the Cabinet Secretary (CS) with no proper explanation or documentation. view
• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I beg to second. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Given the importance of this Motion, I rise under Standing Order No. 53(3) and request that you defer putting of the Question to an appointed time by yourself. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support this Motion as amended by Hon. Millie Akoth. I think it is one of the best drafted Motions given the earlier debate that we had. We have resolved. We are not urging. The issue of Migingo is not a Luo affair. It is about the people of Kenya and the territorial integrity as recognised in the UN Charter, Article 2(4) that there will be respect to territorial integrity. I think what we have seen in the past is total aggression and disregard of that Charter. The Ugandan forces do ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they owe this House a report on the progress of all the Motions that have been passed overwhelmingly by this House. The issue of scrutinising whether these Motions are implementable is at the Table Office and the House Business Committee. The role of the Committee on Implementation is to actually ensure that this is done. Standing Order No.209(3) says that: The Committee may propose to the House, sanctions against any Cabinet Secretary who fails to report to the relevant select committee on implementation status without justifiable reasons. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: When the Chairman says that as Members we have to follow up, then I doubt the capacity of the Committee to actually deliver to this House. We actually want to see the Committee on Implementation telling us what has been done, give us a report, update us on how many have been delivered and to what extent and tell us why the others are delaying. That will be taking responsibility and I challenge the Committee and the leadership to ensure this backlog is cleared. It has come all the way from the 11th Parliament. We are told things that had ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: very well-received in India and taking a message from the President. We hope that he can also lead in these deliberations because of his good relations as the envoy representing the Government. We should ensure that Migingo and the people living there are safe and the aggressions that we have been seeing from Uganda are dealt with once and for all. I support the Motion. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on point of intervention to seek your clarification on an issue in terms of the statements to this House. On 27th February, a young man in Meru University was killed. I sought a Statement from the Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i and it was duly done by the Leader of the Majority Party. He was supposed to appear today before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, but he did not appear. The father of that young man was in this House to follow that Statement. My question is: How can we get the committees ... view
• 29 Mar 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in recognising the presence of the public relations officers from Nyamira County Assembly noting that their Senator has since become a presidential candidate. I thank your office for the steps that it has taken to make sure that the Senate is a learning ground for the counties to ensure that we teach them on how things are done. I hope that they will take greetings to Nyamira County. On behalf of the Kenya Women Parliamentarians Association (KEWOPA), I welcome the students from St. Joseph Secondary School to the Senate. I encourage them that the ... view
