• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I have in the past, when I worked as Director at Kituo Cha Sheria, supported very much the Evictions Law. The country needs an evictions law. But whether it comes as a standalone or the eviction matters are dealt with in a law like the one we are dealing with is not the bigger question. The question will be that the country conducts its evictions in a humane manner. That it is, indeed, true that there are people who are going to be in the wrong piece of land and when as a last resort, as a result of a ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: the data on regional balance, data on gender, data on young people and data on who we need to appoint in the next set of public jobs. It is not helpful to go back to the selection panel. The PSC will serve this country well. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Member for that concern and correction. It is true that Parliament has the capacity to do its work, but I do not think Parliament can sit to receive applications and advertise for applications. The PSC will need to do that work and bring to us names that they would have identified. We would then be required to vet those names. That is the process we are anchoring in our laws. The Member sits in the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and he knows that is the process ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will also be introducing an amendment on declaration of sources of funding before the transfer of title is done. Time has come for anybody who wants to get land and wants to transfer land to declare the sources of money, to be able to acquire that land. It has been wrong for people to be corrupting public office and become real estate owners who spoil the market and mess up our rates so that we are buying land in Nairobi as expensive as in New York. view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to raise a question with the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information, Hon. Jamleck Kamau; on the question of access to Information Bill, which is pending for introduction of amendments. The Committee is supposed to process the amendments by the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology. It will be good if they can finish the amendments by the Ministry so that that the Bill can be dispensed with, noting that it is a constitutional Bill. I did not hear him mention it in his Report. I am a bit concerned ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me add that, in my status, I would want them to expedite the matter so that I can finish with the Bill before I go and serve the country in other ways. view

• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I wonder why Hon. (Dr.) Pukose would have difficulties. I am happy to take the Floor, but the queue has been quite long on this Bill because I pressed my request button at 2.30 p.m. and I have been waiting since then. I hope when there is a special status it can be considered to allow other processes to take place. In supporting this Bill, I want to commend and thank the Jubilee Government for the allocation of Kshs302 billion, 32.3 per cent of the revenue way above the constitutional minimum of 15 per cent, to the counties. With that ... view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The challenges remain as continued effectiveness, continued service delivery and continued development by the counties. At 32.3 per cent, we put all our critics to shame. We confirm to this country and everybody that the Jubilee Administration supports devolution not by word but by action, by money and by putting our money where our mouths are. Although we have been accused of kutenga, this is not a kutenga issue. The Kshs302 billion is in law. It will be passed by this House as law. So, this is not one of those issues that we discuss in rallies. This is the ... view
