The Speaker, on the same day, also gave us an option to co-opt three other Members who have served for, at least, two terms in Parliament. We co-opted three eminent persons of this House. The first one was hon. Elmi, Member for Tarbaj; the second one was hon. Lekuton, Member for Laisamis, and the third one was the hon. Member for Bura, hon. Ali Wario.

We balanced. We realised that, that Committee had six Members from the Jubilee side and four Members from the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) side. That is what informed us to appoint two Members from the CORD side and only one Member from the Jubilee side.

14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly:
We express our gratitude to the House for having given and entrusted us with that particular mandate, which was very onerous. We also thank the Clerk’s Office for giving us support. We wrote the Report in detail. If the Members have seen the document, they will agree it is a big document. We put in all the details that were required. We recorded on HANSARD. We also placed the minutes of all the Committee meetings in this Report. We put in any paper that we were given. We even invited the public to participate. Unfortunately, there was only one Member ...

14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, this Committee on Powers and Privilege is very small. It has 10 ordinary Members and three co-opted Members. Before I go to any other issue, I want to show the House how we got the evidence. We undertook to ask the Members of the PAC to appear before us, and several of them did so. We had a total of 17 Members of PAC and one former Member of the PAC appearing before us. We had the Leader of the Majority Party, the Leader of the Minority Party and the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party appearing ...

into, but most important was whether there was breach of privilege and\or code of conduct by the membership of the PAC. We found that there was breach of the same. However, not all Members were involved. We indicated the ones who were involved in no uncertain terms. We indicated the punishments that were to be meted out against the five of them. Secondly, we looked into what sanctions would apply for that particular breach of privilege. Somewhere in the Report, I will indicate what we, as the membership, thought we should engage as a sanction against the breach of privilege. ...

We also had other Members. When Hon. Kareke Mbiuki appeared before the Committee, he even went ahead of everybody else and gave us a written report. What he had to say is at Page 60 for the Members to refer to. He said that the PAC needed to be reconstituted as he had lost confidence in its leadership and the current Membership has a highly dented image as a result of allegations.

14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. John Sakwa Bunyasi, who is seated next to me, appeared before the Committee, he said that political parties should be requested to nominate Members to the PAC and the PIC who can stand the integrity test due to the kind of pressures that the two Committees face. One Member who came before us and was very brief in his statements was hon. Kyengo Maweu of Kang’undo Constituency. He said that PAC was salvageable, but only as long as the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson exited. He was as brief as that. He also said that the only Members who may ...

14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly:
That is right. I have a problem. It has been long since I was in the National Youth Service (NYS). Hon. Chae said that the House should consider having the leadership of committees such as the PAC coming from one parliamentary party. As she left the Powers and Privileges Committee, she said that Members who had made unsubstantiated claims against each other should be discharged from the PAC. As I read the remaining appearances, I want to note that this has never happened in the Parliaments that I have known. When hon. Kaparo was the Speaker, he had trouble with ...

14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly:
“There is need to change the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), especially following their claims against their colleagues and the non-committal attitude of the Vice-Chairperson. Any member of PAC who made unsubstantiated claims against another member should be discharged from the PAC.” We also had hon. Julius Melly, the Member for Tinderet, who had this to say at paragraph 177 on page 68: “In the light of the allegations, the Committee cannot work together anymore and that the Chairperson’s leadership style has greatly contributed to the PAC falling apart.” When the Member for Suba, hon. John ...

I was trying to compare the distance between the Bar and here. That is what I was saying. They will be at the Bar looking directly at the Mace.
