• 6 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: huwa kuna upinzani. Lakini bali na upinzani, ni vizuri kukaa na wenzetu na kuweza kuzungumza nao ili watu wafanye kazi pamoja na waakilishe wenzao. Nastaajibika kwamba suala la Mbunge ambaye alikuwa amekosea na kuondolewa hapa Bungeni mmelituma kwenye Kamati ya kusimamia nidhamu ya Wabunge hapa Bungeni. Hivyo basi, Wabunge wale wale ambao ni viongozi wa waliowachache, wamepiga debe na vigelegele na kuwa na furaha kwa sababu Bunge hili linalazimishwa kufanya kosa la kukubaliana na mtu ambaye alifanya makosa na katika hali ya kuadhibika, amerudishwa na korti ile. Sio kawaida kwa Wabunge wote kukimbia kortini kuwezeshwa kutekeleza kazi zao kwa niaba ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I support this Bill, but with amendments. I have quite a number of concerns and one of them is the issue of Members of Parliament having a degree as the minimum level of education and members of the county assemblies having a diploma to qualify to vie following these amendments.

• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: very clear that the requirement for degrees for Members of Parliament and county assembly members is unconstitutional. Nobody appealed against that decision. As much as we sit here and make laws, it is important for us to know and appreciate that this is a House of representatives. As we represent people, we need to know that degrees alone cannot be a measure for representing people. If having degrees would mean that work would be done better in this country, then all our governors would have been perfect, yet even with the executives who are supposed to have degrees as the ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Why do we have nomination lists? We have them so that it is possible for us to mix people and to have people with all the kinds of education levels that we require. As we talk about party lists, this can be put into consideration. We cannot sit here to make laws to force people to elect only people with degrees. We have quite a number of Parliamentarians who have done a lot of very good work yet they did not go to formal schools. I refer to Hon. Ntimama who was elected to this House many times and he ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: For your information, Hon. Lati, this is a fact. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is a fact. He did not go to any formal classroom. He did his classes outside the normal classroom and did very well. He is one of the best lawmakers we have had. He did not have any formal education. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I thought formal is where you sit in a classroom and sit for normal examinations as prescribed by our Government policy. I want to talk about the importance of us embracing Kenyans to make a decision on what kind of representation they would prefer. As we talk about party lists, I need to point out that we have to be very careful that we do not do unconstitutional things. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I want to raise such an issue in Clause 12 which says that a party list shall not contain a name of a candidate nominated for an election. When you look at Articles 97 and 98 of the Constitution on the membership of the National Assembly and the Senate, they are very clear. Article 97(2) states that nothing in this Article shall be construed as excluding any person contesting an election under Clause 1(a). In other words, a party list in the National Assembly does not exclude anybody who has vied. In the membership of The electronic version of the ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: the Senate, Article 98(3) says that nothing in this Article shall be construed as excluding any person from contesting an election under Clause 1(a). In the Senate, we have a specific party list. If the same Senators are allowed to contest and appear in the list, we cannot make two sets of laws for Kenyans that Parliamentarians can go into an election and at the same time you can be on the party list. It is very clear in the Constitution. We cannot purport to be amending the Constitution through an Act of Parliament. These are the issues I am ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this Motion. I wish to start by congratulating Hon. Yusuf Hassan for thinking about Kamukunji Grounds which is very important in the history of this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
