• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is a very neat amendment. When the Central Bank of Kenya Act was made, Parliament and the National Assembly were synonymous. We used Parliament to mean the National Assembly. Clearly, the appointment of the CBK Governor is a national Government function. Honestly, the Senate has no role in it. When we approved the appointment of the Central Bank Governor, I heard the Senate complaining that it was a function of Parliament and they should have been involved. This is a way to make this law neat so that we clearly define it as a role ... view

• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support. The Public Service Superannuation Scheme is an important scheme and clearly the move by the Committee to define a child clearly shows that they have put attention to detail so that we do not have conflicting laws that unnecessarily conflict with our Constitution. I support. view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I do not have a problem per se with this amendment. However, we should make laws we pass in this House to be as much as view

• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: The Chairperson of the Committee has left out something. In the new Clause 52A, there is a proposal to delete item (b). He should pronounce himself on view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, is this inclusion not limiting? Why are you giving conditions? You are trying to suggest that there could be conditions under which--- Should it not be open that anybody who wants to seek a clarification should do so because we know the import of PPPs. People put in their money. Why then should we introduce conditions under which they should be able to--- I find this to be superfluous and I really plead with the Committee Chair to drop this amendment. I think you are limiting the space into which PPPs can foster. Honestly, people are ... view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Please, remind him. Sometimes, he thinks he is Member of Parliament General. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. I thank the House for passing the Companies and Insolvency Legislation (Consequential Amendments) Bill. In my contribution, I did not have a chance to bring that amendment, but if you look at the Companies Bill, the provisions governing the ambit of the Capital Markets Authority is wider in the Companies Bill than it is in the Capital Markets Authority’s Act. If it is not included in this amendment, I will hope that even at a ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I would like to thank my good friend, Hon. Keynan. He has been at the forefront for the time I have known him as a legislator, in ensuring that Parliament and Parliamentarians are given the space they need to exercise what is democratically bestowed upon them by the people of Kenya. The Constitution is very clear that the sovereign power of our country belongs to the people of Kenya. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the three arms of the Government, namely the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive, draw their legislative, judicial and executive authority from the people. As we discuss this Bill, it cannot be lost to us that during the general elections, the people of Kenya exercised their dual democratic mandate and elected directly the leadership of the Executive at both the county and national levels. They also elected representatives at both the county and the national levels. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
