• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I wish to make a formal request to the House leadership, especially for the Committee of the whole House. As you know, there are not many Members who usually engage in this process. Now that we have gone electronic, it becomes very difficult unless you have a physical copy. Yesterday, I was forced to use two screens for the amendment of the Bill on special interest groups. Today, the gadget next to me is dead. So, I cannot really follow what is going on. That is the truth. We have electronics that have become disabled. Could ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Yeah, but what I am requesting Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, is that if we can formalise it so that, ordinarily, when we go to the Committee of the whole House, that we have, at least, 20 copies. I already have what the Leader of the Majority Party has given me on the screen. If I want to get the Bill, it means that I have to have two screens so that I can compare both. Thank you, the Leader of the Majority Party for giving me this. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. For the same reasons that Hon. Mbadi has said, I want to support. I would also request that because we are dealing with almost 15 pieces of legislation, in future, if it is possible - and this is something I am putting before the House because I do not sit on the Committee on Procedure and House Rules - to find a way of putting the word ‘omnibus’ at the beginning. This is because, when we just have Business Laws (Amendment) Bill, I actually thought that it was one law but we ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just concerned that you are moving at such a high speed that even when we want to contribute, we do not have the opportunity. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I thought you were putting the Question. If you were proposing it, it is okay. It is very rare, normally, to find the Leader of the Majority Party and I on the right side and speaking the same language. When we get to these moments, Chair, you let us so that I can support him and.. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I am actually supporting his position and supporting the ones who are saying ni maombi si ujinga because it is rare to find me sitting while others are singing in the choir. That was my role in the last Parliament. So, nimaombi si ujinga. I thank them for doing my work as I sit quietly doing house business and supporting the Leader of the Majority Party. I love it. Ni maombi. God is an amazing God. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you. I support. view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. I stand to oppose. I am opposing because we cannot give this levy to a private entity. We have an obligation to ensure we reduce our debts. We are bedeviling our children and putting too much burden on them. We will be holding this burden for many years to come. As I am speaking, there are students from Karagurerio Primary School here. They are in primary school. Their Member of Parliament is my schoolmate, Hon. Anthony. You can imagine that these children who are here watching us today will still be paying loans that ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to take this opportunity, on behalf of my family and the Suba North constituents, to convey our condolences to the family of Hon. Suleiman Dori, the people of Msambweni Constituency and Kwale County for the loss of a very good Member. We served with him in the last and the current Parliament. I know, sometimes as Members, people go through different things and we do not know. I used to greet him here many times and I noticed he had lost some weight which I assumed was as a result of working out. It ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: continuing with our lives. That takes me back to the issue that I am saying Hon. Speaker. Let each of us consider his or her purpose even as we serve here. With those few remarks, I convey my condolences. view
