• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Consequently and in order to offer the country an opportunity to reconstitute the Commission and strengthen the institutional framework in the fight against corruption, I have offered to resign. I thank you and the people of the Republic of Kenya most sincerely for giving me the opportunity to serve in this position.” We underscore and underline the fact that Prof. Jane Onsongo wrote and said: “The fight against corruption cannot be won by a divided Commission.” That this Commission as constituted cannot assist the country in the fight against corruption.

• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. As we looked at the evidence, we were guided by that report of the Tenth Parliament which found the three nominees unsuitable. Even as we look at all this evidence, I also want to look at the issues that we have identified for determination as a Committee; the issues that were raised in the Petition by Mr. Oriaro and the issues that we found were necessary for our determination. One of the issues was whether Mr. Mumo Matemu and Ms. Irene Keino have exhibited gross misconduct in the performance of their functions to warrant their removal ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we looked at the evidence on the existing files and we looked at the work they have done and we found out that even on the Anglo Leasing cases that they brought to court, it was after an ultimatum by the Committee giving them 14 days to bring the files to court. Before that, very little evidence and very little work had been done in the fight against corruption. There were other issues beyond those that were raised in the Petition for instance, the case of Mr. Mumo Matemu which is in the Supreme Court. The Committee found ... view

• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, on the question of the ownership of Integrity Center, this is not a question that the Committee has been blind to. This is a matter that has come before the Committee. It is a matter that the Committee has had due regard to. If you look at our Report on Page 49, you will see that the CEO, Mr. Halakhe Waqo undertook to provide a full report on the ownership of the building in two weeks’ time. I confirm to this House that the Committee is looking at the question of the ownership of the Integrity Centre. If ... view
• 22 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank all the Members and pray that the Petition is upheld. The grounds are enough. The Petition discloses the grounds that are required to send Mr. Matemu and the Vice-Chairperson home. view

• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I want to rise in support of the Motion that we are debating and support the Members from the Kenya National Assembly who represent us in the Pan-African Parliament - colleagues like hon. Millie, hon. Shebesh and hon. Zakayo Cheruyiot and the Senators. We are happy that they were able to bring this to this Floor so that we could all add our views and be able to even read what PAP is proposing in terms of the different areas that are covered in the Report. Looking at that Report you get inspired that Africa is moving in ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I have had the benefit and the pleasure of serving in the African Union (AU) and the Economic and Social Council which is the civil society organ of the AU, almost similar to PAP. The Pan-African Parliament has legislative power and the ECOSOC, the civil society permanent assembly has advisory role to the Heads of State in governance. If you look at how the AU has organised its work, you really marvel at the architecture of governance that we do not even see in our countries. In the AU, you have the highest organ which is the Heads of State ... view
