• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Report as amended and thank the Committee for the good work. In Kenya, it is not a question of whether we need a legal framework. We have a very good framework in relation to different issues including public procurement. view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: What we are lacking is the culture constitutionalism. We abuse laws with impunity knowing we will not be held accountable. Until we are serious about prosecution and ensuring convictions, I think this culture will not change. Let us look at countries where there are very serious efforts at ensuring there is not just public relations exercises.

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: I know the Committee meant well when they came up with their objectives. But I wish they had provided for determining equity in their objectives. I know they were looking at specific dams, but if you look at the geographical locations of some of these dams, and if this is a sample of what we have in the country, then it means we are still not following the Constitution because it talks about equity. view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: It is because of this that we are seeing a deadlock at the Senate level when it comes to resources. The little cake remaining at the national level is not shared equitably. So, I would want to encourage that we must ensure that the cake is shared equitably. Perhaps, that is where we may need a legal framework that enhances parliamentary oversight. What we have right now is a Committee looking at specific dams in specific areas. I could easily decide that I have nothing to do with Itare, Chemususu, Northern Water Collector Tuner or Karimenu II dams because they ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My point of order is in relation to the directions that you have just given in relation to Hon. Charles Ong’ondo.
