• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Anti-Corruption Commission just asking you to go and explain your transactions, you panic at that level. You organize your legal team and you go and prepare your answers. It is almost similar to what lawyers go through when the disciplinary committee asks them to visit it. For those of us in the legal profession, one of our worst nightmares is to receive summons from the disciplinary committee. Even when you know you are clean or you have done nothing wrong, the very fact that you are on the list of those expected to meet the discipline committee gives you a ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Here in Kenya, when the EACC calls you, what you do is organize a gang that will accompany you to their offices. You also organize Isukuti dancers to accompany you to the EACC. You also ask women who had been organized the previous day to accompany you to the EACC; meaning it is a joke to go to the EACC. In fact, just recently, we watched on television women who were dancing and yet, they did not know the governor they were dancing for. When they were asked the name of the governor, one lady told everybody on live media: ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Those are the jokes we do not want to see in the EACC; that a governor is invited to answer questions on how they have spent money, he calls the Governor of Nairobi County who knows the gangs in Kibera, who then calls the women who showed up the previous day to accompany the governor to go and answer questions before EACC. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The chairperson we are looking for, with these amendments today, must bring an end to such conduct. An invitation to EACC is not a date with Isukuti dancers. It is not a date with those who want to be paid Kshs200. It is not a date to misuse the poor people of our county. The chairperson must be such a strong personality. The chairperson must command legal authority and that chairperson cannot be the kind that we have in the regulations and rules we have now. That is why we want the chairperson to work part-time, a very formidable citizen ... view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: I support the amendments with those remarks. I really hope as a country, we take corruption seriously. Countries are coming down on corruption. Ours is not very far from that list. If we do not take charge of the corruption in our country; if we do not confront corruption as leaders, it will see an end to our country. view
• 7 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Bill. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also follow Amina Abdalla’s line that people have to retire from office. That should be a new culture in this country. view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support the Motion as amended. I also wish to support the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the work that the Committee has been able to do in terms of moving this debate forward. I also wish to support the mood of the House in passing the Kshs3.3 billion that has been agreed upon by the Mediation Committee. The country has been apprehensive that if this particular Bill was lost, then it would have been a legal quagmire of a nature not hitherto seen in this country. We would have had ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On days like today, the House has to take the lesser evil. The lesser evil is to agree with what the Mediation Committee has arrived at. In future, we hope that the Senate will use its time wisely and bring their recommendations early before the IBEC figure is agreed upon. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget is similar to the National Assembly Budget and Appropriations Committee. The Chairperson should sit in the IBEC discussions so that the views of the Senate are taken in early. ... view
• 3 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On the question of the role of the Senate, it is time our Senate agreed to assist the country in monitoring the implementation of the Kshs287 billion. We have seen Senators fighting with the National Assembly for functions that belong to the National Assembly and yet there is no one to perform the functions that belong to the Senate. The Senate must, once and for all, agree that we have a unique Senate only known to Kenya. It is a Senate that has reduced powers. It is a Senate that is supposed to oversee funding that goes to counties. Challenging ... view
