• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Clause 40 provides for punishment that is so lenient for people who misuse the fund. The Committee should increase the punishment from two years. It is two million. It is ridiculous. People steal. Corruption is killing this country. The county has become the centre of stealing. We have devolved stealing and corruption in our counties. If we leave these lenient sentences, we will kill devolution, which is supposed to cure marginalisation. view
• 28 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. 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 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have just come back from Suba North. I was hoping I would get an opportunity to raise an issue of national interest, which is about security in the lake. But given that I am seeing the Members walking out, I hope I will be given on Tuesday. Thank you. But, there is a serious insecurity issue in the lake. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance. I want to agree with Hon. Mbadi that you have pronounced yourself on this issue before. But, that does not stop you from pronouncing yourself again, especially because of the decisions that have emanated from the courts of late. I am saying this because coming from a civil society background I defend the rights of the Judiciary and in equal measure, defend the rights of the Legislature. When we talk about separation of powers, it is not powers that lean on one side. We have three arms of Government and each ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know when you say Hon. Odhiambo Akoth most people do not know who that is. Most people know me as Amilo Geza Geza. Be that as it may, I stand to support this Bill. Even in supporting, I want to say that ordinarily, I was not very well minded to support but now that the Departmental Committee on Finance and Planning has said that they are going to propose amendments relating to the VAT Act, then I will support However, even as I support, I want to say that whoever thought of levying ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Even in Christianity it is outlawed but people still gamble because they are idle. It is said that an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. We have many idle minds. So, they have nothing to do and when people are over idle, there are things that they will get involved in some of which I will not mention here but the other one is gambling. I will not mention the others which will cause the population to increase. Gambling is something that people are engaged in because they have no alternatives. Yes, as much as I encourage that we can ... view
• 20 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know when I speak very passionately about issues of corruption, it inspires Members until they press buttons that they did not intend to. That is normal for Hon. Korir to press that button because it just shows that he is in agreement with what I am talking about. Young members of Parliament like him do not want a country that is so corrupt that we leave nothing for the youth. Very soon, the young people will be eating us. Finally, because I can see that my time is up, we must slay the dragon of ... view

• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support the amendment. In supporting, I want to say that the KEWOPA caucus is recognised by the Standing Orders. We amended the Standing Orders to recognise KEWOPA. Even as I support, I want to say that there are some of us who worked very hard to ensure that the number of women in this House is increased. It was very difficult to ensure that is done. I am very disappointed that even as we are passing this Budget, the number of the 47 women who are ... view
