• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when Hon. David Sankok came to this Chamber, because the Committee was seated here, a response was supposed to have been given by the Cabinet Secretary. You has instructed that the Cabinet Secretary responds to the question, but it is the Chief Administrative Secretary who came. He said he was under no instruction to answer that question and that the question was going to be answered by the Cabinet Secretary himself. Subsequently, we have not been able to interact with the Cabinet Secretary to pursue that matter. They said the answer was to be brought, as per your ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am aware that we shall interact with the Cabinet Secretary tomorrow. I undertake to give Hon. Sankok a written response so he can interact with it even while on recess. I know the Ministry is committed to bringing an answer. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to make it very clear that occasionally when there are issues, including the balance of questions that we are not able to get responses to, I have to directly reach out to him so that I am able to present issues that Members raise. As the Chairman of the Committee, with the authority of its members, when I get answers I transmit them to the members. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Yes, all pending questions. It is my desire that we have an output that befits the Committee. It is only that sometimes we are let down by the Ministry. Thank you. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You are saying it is a small issue as it is, but it has been here with us. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: This is not the first time. We have done it before by considering clause by clause. There were other provisions in some clauses which were more than this, but were read as a clause. Let those who want an explanation come out and ask for it. Otherwise, you will be treating this as a special case which we have not been doing before. view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to say I am not an advocate of the High Court or any other advocate anywhere. However, I will listen to the arguments from the lawyers and I have always seen cases that are conducted and argued by advocates where when one stands and you are almost convinced that they are winning. Moreover, when the reply comes, you again agree with that reply. I have listened to the other Members who have spoken. My very good friend, the Hon. Dr. Otiende Amollo almost convinced me that his route was ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: how millions came in trucks and canters. How property – I am in property for that matter… In this country prices of property have soared. Moreover, it is a fact you cannot hide. Those properties are where a Member of Parliament cannot even afford to buy a house. They have been propped up by money, which has found itself in an unethical way into our economy. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we just have to save ourselves. We have to save this nation. We have to create it and make it for our future generation. For us to do that, we ... view
• 2 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to associate myself with the contributions of the other members without having to repeat. However, most importantly, thank you for your ruling. You being an advocate of high standing, you have allowed debate to continue and, at an opportune time, you will be able to give us direction on the ruling that was sought regarding the matters that were raised and so, we thank you. Second, is to say that I want - just as Hon. Sankok has said and I said before - to be part of the people who ... view
• 1 Dec 2021 in National Assembly: Hon Speaker, just like you rightfully observed, tomorrow we are going on recess without a doubt. If I had the facts in my hands, I would address the issues. But this entails me to take the information to the Cabinet Secretary to respond. By the time it comes back, we will already be in recess. Hon. Speaker, I want to concur with the route you have talked about of resurrecting the matter or better still seeing the Cabinet Secretary to resolve the issue without having to read the statement or answers here. view
