• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Even our systems are now confused. I second. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. At the outset, I support this Motion. I declare that I do not know any of the nominees. I have had to clarify when I heard a Member referring to Mr. John Ogallo who was the Commissioner-General of Prisons Service; and I am told he is not. As Members of the House, we also need to refrain from whipping up emotions and speak factually. If it was the Mr. Ogallo of the Kenya Prisons, perhaps, there may have been an issue raised about him. There is no issue that has been raised about this Mr. John ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: I am actually perturbed, listening to very progressive Members of the House, who are using digital processes to communicate, saying that they have a problem with a virtual interview. I wish that our main problem was something else. We cannot sit here in this era, time and age like The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: cavemen and cavewomen, saying that a person must appear before us in person. This is not a court of law where we want to look at your demeanour. Even in a court of law, we can assess your demeanour virtually. I do not understand this story of someone being interviewed virtually. So, what if you are interviewed virtually? For those who want to be interviewed elsewhere in different ways, it is up to them. In this age and time in this country, that is the direction that everyone is going. We are going digital. Why would you want to take ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for emphasising that. I did not want to speak to it because I heard Hon. Otiende alluding to it. If we really want to oppose this list, let us have cogent reasons - but not that someone has not been interviewed virtually. The other matter that I take issue with is a number of Members have been complaining about tax compliance. I have said this on the Floor of the House before, and I will say it again. Even I, at one point, had a tax issue with Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). One day, I was ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: here? If the job has run its course and he qualifies, please let us get better reasons for opposing people. To my brother from Rendille, I understand you. Minorities need to be added. I will support you next time on any commission appointment that comes to the Floor of the House because I am also a minority. I am a Suba. I am not only saying it for today. I am actually a great champion of minority rights because I am a minority myself. My father is a Suba and my mother is a Luo. Perhaps, that is one thing ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am embarrassed because I have just told Members about being Information and Communications Technology (ICT) compliant, but I cannot open my computer. I am concerned because we need the support of the legal team, since we had a harmonization meeting. I can see Doreen is here, and I hope Sydney is coming as well, so that we can move faster. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move Clause 130, but with a further amendment: THAT, Clause 130 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (6) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: “(d) an interested person.” I am proposing we insert a new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c), in the Order Paper--- I have paused because I am proposing a further amendment and you are a bit distracted. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: I am proposing a further amendment which we agreed with the Chair of the Committee. I had introduced the concept of an interested person, but we have agreed to adopt a different meaning. So, I am doing a further amendment to my own amendment. Instead of saying “an interested person”, I will use the term “a person acting on behalf and in the best interest of a child”. This means we have persons identified in the Bill as authorised people; which include police officers, children’ officers and others. You may have a situation where a neighbour sees something bad happening ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT view
