• 4 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I sympathise with the situation as it has been presented. I undertake to quickly follow up with the Ministry. In any case, I expect a response in not later than two weeks. However, I will do it even faster than that, if I can manage. I ask the Hon. Member to just give us a little time. However, I commit to personally follow it up and ensure that we have the response. Thank you. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset let me thank all Members who have contributed to this very important County Governments (Amendment) Bill. I also want to mention that looking at the amendment, it seeks to leave out the qualifications of a Vice-Chairperson. We know very well that in the absence of the Chairperson the Vice-Chairperson will perform the duties of the Chairperson. So, we seek to amend and include that the Vice-Chairperson also has similar qualifications as the Chairperson. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Secondly, is the issue of the provisions of the PSC with regard to the Public Service Commission Act which provides the qualifications of a Chair? If you look at the crafting of the County Governments Act in terms of the human resource it has borrowed heavily from the Public Service Act, except where it diverges from the provisions of qualifications of the Chairperson. The Public Service Commission Act provides that one must be a citizen of Kenya and holds a degree from a recognised university in Kenya, as well as 10 years’ experience in their respective profession. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: If we must deviate substantively from the Public Service Commission Act then, it means we will go contrary to the provisions of the County Governments Act. So, we shall be seeking to amend this clause so that the Chairperson can have a university degree. These are the only two main issues, the rest of it as alluded to by Members is streamlining and ensuring the human resource performs in accordance with the requirements of their job description. This will translate into better output for the county governments. view
• 3 Aug 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks I beg to reply. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a response to a Statement sought by the Member for Mbeere South, Hon. Col. Rtd. Geoffrey King’ang’i on the issue of brutal evictions of residents of Mbinguni in Makima Ward of Mbeere South Constituency. The Member specifically sought the following: (i) to be informed on the circumstances that led to the inhuman and extremely brutal evictions of residents and the demolition of houses at Mbinguni Centre; (ii) what urgent intervention measures the Government is undertaking to address the on- going humanitarian crisis at Mbinguni Primary School exemplified by massive congestions devoid of sanitation, water, ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: of beacons to safeguard the buffer zone of the two dams. Hereby, they have attached the court order. The court further issued execution orders dated 3rd September 2020, directing the Regional Police Commander of Eastern to provide security during the eviction exercise. There is also attached a copy of the execution order. Currently, there are no IDPs accommodated at Ndunguni Primary School. Therefore, there is no humanitarian crisis. Thirdly, TARDA also owns land in Masinga and Kiambere and possesses the following title deeds: LR No.28670, LR No.28671 and LR No.12621. The court determined the true ownership of the land and ... view

(e) Malicious damage to property contrary to section 339(1) as read together with section 339(2)(a) of the Penal Code. (f) Contravening provisions of prevention, control and suppression of COVID-19 directives issued by the Cabinet Secretary for Health pursuant to section 6 as read together with section 164 of the Public Health Act (Cap. 242 of the Laws of Kenya). Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I empathise with Hon. King’ang’i and the Members who have spoken, including Hon. Mbarire. The situation, as it sounds... I am not quite seized of what is on the ground, but the matter needs to be addressed in the manner the former CEO has said. At the outset, this should have been curbed at the initial stage, that is, before people faced off. They should have been able to sit down and amicably sort out the problem. They are now creating another problem for people who have nowhere to stay. For me to come up with ... view
• 6 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: deserving. Otherwise, it went the wrong way that they were not able to sort it out amicably and had to resort to going to court. When I hear that there are four schools that are going to be left without students, then, it should worry every Kenyan. We should have schools where public funds have been spent. The schools are going to be left empty because the entire crowd has been pushed out! I will seek your direction on whether we are going to undertake this exercise jointly with the Committee on Lands. view
