• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Having said that, I want to say that as we listen to Hon. Ochieng', we are a House of rules and procedures and we are also a House that adheres to the Constitution. The issues that Hon. Ochieng’ has raised are very pertinent, but as a lawyer and from what he has read and what Hon. Mbadi has read, he knows that he is actually standing on stilts. Our Standing Orders do not support his position because as one-man member of a party, he does not qualify. By his own words, he has said that he even thought he is ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not mind seconding, but I need a clarification because I do not know whether the Standing Orders… Unfortunately, I do not have my Standing Orders here. I do not know whether they were changed so that you can actually amend a list in the way we are doing it here. Maybe, you can advise because we should not do something in futility. Under the Standing Orders… I do not know whether things have changed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, I just need direction from the House so that we do not mislead my ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am still very uncomfortable with the procedural bit, but now that I have gotten the assurance from the Chair, I wish to second. However, even as I am seconding, I would wish to indicate that once I speak to this and since there are many Members, I may not get an opportunity to speak to the substantive part of it and so, I will just speak to it. I just want to say one or two things in relation to this and the subsequent one that the Kenya National Assembly needs to up its game ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: woman to replace her? I know I am not supposed to speak over other parties, but I am a defender of women. When people are “quarantining”, let them ensure that they take into account the women representation. We have women in Jubilee who are very strong, loyal and very ardent supporters of the President such as Hon. (Ms.) Sabina Chege, Hon. (Ms.) Gathoni Wamuchomba, Hon. (Ms.) Ruth Wangari and Hon. (Ms.) Fatuma Gedi. Why were they not considered? This is what I am seeing in this Committee even as I am supporting. Finally, I support the issue of PWDs. Let ... view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to raise an issue on a point of order, especially noticing what is coming from the Departmental Committee on Health. I have served in this House for long. Select committees are formed even if they have mandates relating to a committee – if it is so special that special attention and focus needs to be put to it. view
• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: I urge Members to focus on other issues like composition, gender and persons with disability. I am raising this because I see we do not want to go that way in this Parliament and yet, I was in a committee on cattle rustling and I was in another on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), with my dear sister Sophia Abdi Noor. That is when the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, which I sat in, could easily have dealt with them. There was a Select Committee on Elections. So, it is not wrong to have a select committee. So, are ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to request you to allow me to remove my mask because it is very difficult to use it with glasses. view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to pick up from where Hon. Limo has said that he opposes the Bill, and state that I support the BBI. It is very beautiful to stand and stay consistent on principle. I was seeing some people running ahead to read my thought. The Standard Newspaper went ahead to think for me but I want to urge them to hire people who can think ahead because if you listened to the questions that I raised with the Speaker, you should have known where my thought is if you are smart enough. I ... view
• 4 May 2020 in National Assembly: waiting for the proverbial white smoke because, if we did not get it right, the country was going down the drain. People expected that we would weigh in very substantive issues; devolution, system of governance, human rights, amongst a myriad of issues. We passed Chapter 1 on the first day, Chapter 2 on the second day and Chapter 3 on the third day. We stopped when it came to the issue of women representation. If you look at the original draft, we had a bigger number of women that we wanted, but our male colleagues from Parliament, and not even ... view
