• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: “The President shall nominate and, with approval of the National Assembly, appoint Cabinet Secretaries.” Hon. Speaker, His Excellency (HE) the President, through the Head of Public Service, forwarded, to the National Assembly for consideration, the notification of nomination of Hon. Mutahi Kagwe, EGH, former Cabinet Secretary, as a Cabinet Secretary nominee for the Ministry of Health and Ms. Betty Chemutai Maina, CBS, as a Cabinet Secretary nominee for the Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development. This was in accordance with the provisions of Article 152(2) of the Constitution and Section 5 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you will recall that the notification of both Hon. Mutahi Kagwe and Ms. Betty Chemutai Maina as Cabinet Secretaries was received on 23rd January 2020, a time when the House was on recess. Pursuant to provisions of Standing Order 42(2), you then caused the message to be transmitted to every Member of Parliament on 24th January 2020. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to provisions of Standing Order No.42(1) on Monday, 10th February 2020, in your Communication, you informed the House of the notification for nomination of Hon. Mutahi Kagwe and Ms. Betty Chemutai Maina, nominees for the positions of Cabinet ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Further, pursuant to Section 4 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, 2011, and Standing Order No.204, their names and curriculum vitae were committed to the Committee on Appointments for approval hearing and reporting to the House within 14 days. view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when the Committee sat, and you are aware, there was a lot of concern about the 14-day notice. That in 14 days, you cannot do all that is supposed to be done for a proper vetting process. I had the benefit of attending an approval hearing sometimes ago in the United States - in 2006 where they were vetting the Attorney-General. It would take two months and sometimes even up to six months. You need to go to the details. For example, you need to write letters to specific corporations to look at a particular nominee. You then ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties. There were also concerns by the Committee particularly on issues like HELB being involved in this. When citizens are approached to bring this to the House, some of them continuously pay, for example, the HELB loans, but when they are given appointments, there is a requirement that they should pay off the loan immediately in one go. That was a concern of the Committee that for as long as a person ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: That virus was a bit difficult. What I am saying is that we need to look at issues. That is what we discussed with the nominee. At that point, we wanted to know whether he is sufficiently prepared to deal with some of these real life issues. In terms of the Corona Virus, for example, do we have sufficient areas where we can confine or quarantine people who are affected? Those are the kinds of issues that the Committee raised in great detail. There were also issues of cancer. The Committee was concerned that many citizens in this republic are ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: establish centres, so that citizens are not left to the mercies of having to go to very far places to seek treatment and have cheap treatment locally? It came to the knowledge of the Committee, through the discussions that we had, that, in fact, some governments abroad and the Government here are willing to do it, but probably they did not have sufficient land where they could set up this centre. So, we asked the nominee whether he could fast-track that if he got the opportunity. There was also the issue of the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF). It is ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: of Kalenjin, which are recognised by the census? Those are the issues we need to look at very seriously. As I wind up, because I do not want to take too long especially when I know it is the Leader of the Majority Party who will be seconding and I know he has quite a lot of issues that he would want to say, allow me to inform the House that the Committee’s observations on the suitability of Hon. Mutahi Kagwe were as follows: 1. In accordance to Article 78(1) and (2), the nominee is eligible for appointment to the ... view
• 26 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, mine is basically to thank the Members who have contributed and to encourage them, especially on issues of their concerns that under your leadership as the Chair of the Select Committee on Appointments, many of these concerns will be canvassed and taken care of. I request the Members to quickly approve these two nominees because there is a lot of work awaiting them in their respective Ministries. I thank you and I move, Hon. Speaker. view
