• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will be very brief because this is a matter which has been in the domain of hon. Members for quite some time. The Report was tabled yesterday. I am sure that hon. Members have gone through it. view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The gist of this Motion is to actualise Article 153 of the Constitution. For those hon.

• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what I am saying is that this is just an attempt to operationalise Article 153(3) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. I know that hon.

Members can be able to transact issues touching on their constituencies in a better manner. I am sure that the Committee Chairs will be very happy with this development. Hon. Members will no longer attempt, in any way, to pin them down on issues which are supposed to be tackled by the Executive. The proposition is the creation of a grand Committee of the House. If hon. Members eventually approve this Report, a Committee to be known as “Committee on General Oversight (GOS)” ... view
• 28 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Secretary but on average, not more than five questions are to be directed to each Cabinet Secretary. That is to say that they will be able to prepare themselves sufficiently and bring reasonable answers to hon. Members and, I am sure, to the satisfaction of their constituents. Hon.
