• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Following the resolutions of the HBC with regard to re-introduction of Question Time in the House, this Committee deliberated comprehensively on the matter. We observed that under the previous Constitution, where Cabinet Ministers were Members of Parliament, Question Time generated enthusiasm and expectations among hon. Members, who would be seen on television and heard on radio asking questions on issues affecting their constituents. The Ministers provided direct answers to the questions. Supplementary questions were asked in the House. The answers were exhaustive. The Ministers at the time had direct access to the Executive dockets that were responsible for matters raised ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Procedure and House Rules Committee further observed that Members’ diminishing interest in the current format of questions raised in the departmental committees was going hand in hand with an increase in the number of petitions being brought to the House. When Members were not able to develop good interest in Question Time as constituted now, they decided to focus on petitions, which they present in the House, on behalf of the public. They also prefer issuing personal statements. This is seen as a direct result of lack of visibility of the current The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: process, notwithstanding the fact that response to questions is often faster than response to petition. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In a nutshell, the Committee wants to re-introduce Question Time in a manner that will interest Members and increase their visibility. Constituents will also follow the proceedings of this House during Question Time. I know Hon. Duale, who is the Leader of the Majority Party, came to Parliament for the first time during the 10th Parliament – towards the tail-end of the Question Time. The Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) used to have programme called LeoKatika Bunge, which was very popular with our constituents. I believe Hon. Jimmy Angwenyi, who is the second oldest Member in the House, agrees with me ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thirdly, the new procedure will greatly contribute to predictable management of committee time and schedules. Consultation between the Leader of the Majority Party and a chairperson whose committee a question is referred to shall save time and align plans of the Committee and the affected CS, with regard to the time and day on which they will be appearing to answer questions. Fourthly, the new procedure will ensure that questions and responses given are a record of the House. Questions will be recorded verbatim in the HANSARD. The responses will be recorded in periodic reports made to the House by ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I urge the House to adopt these amendments as contained in the Second Report of the Procedure and House Rules Committee. It is my considered opinion that in operationalising these amendments, the House and its committees will need to strike a fair balance with regard to appearance in person of CSs to answer questions in committees. I understand that CSs and Principal Secretaries (PSs) can be very busy. Between PS and CS, the CS can respond to questions. Anybody who is above the rank of PS can appear to answer questions. For example, if the Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) are ... view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Unfortunately, under our Standing Orders, I am not able to give any Member any donation because that decision has been made. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Let me take this opportunity to thank the Members. I want them to know that what they will have done today is something that will go a long way into improving their contributions in this House. Sitting here you will listen to Members saying they do not have enough time to contribute, this is the cure. I am longing for a day when I will ask issues about my constituency to do with roads which are deplorable, hospitals, police brutality and issues to do with everything that affects my constituents. view
• 23 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As I finalise, I want to tell Members that some of the very good Members who did very well in this House like Hon. Shikuku, Hon. Ochola Ogur and all those other people who contributed, it is because there was Question Time. Sometimes we are underrated because people think we are not doing very well. When we have this Question Time, it will go very well in improving our stature and our contributions to our society. view
