• 4 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Many issues were raised and have been addressed. We should strive to ensure that such reports are implemented. Of late, there has been unnecessary interference with implementation of resolutions of the House. We must stand up to protect Parliament. We should not let outsiders decide what Parliament does. In any case, if we are the ones who defeat our resolutions, then we are have given up on our mandate. This goes to the heart of the authority of Parliament and if not looked into, it will destroy Parliament. What the Committee has resolved must be implemented to the letter. If ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to first of all let the House know that this is a very deep Motion. On the face of it, somebody may think it is a light Motion. Because of that, it is very important that we realise that this debate is beyond Kenya. It is actually dealing with people of different nationalities. This debate has been around and has polarised the country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: At the end of this Motion, this House will decide on the rule of law and its place in the Constitution of Kenya. I am not moving it as yet. It is very important that when this Motion is moved, we have enough people to contribute so that the analysis of what this House says will determine whether this House retains some authority and its position in the constitutional dispensation of this country. I have consulted the leadership of the House and we are in agreement that this Motion be stood down to tomorrow. That is what we have agreed ... view
• 3 Dec 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to add my voice in support of this Report and urge the House to adopt it. When we read about how our country is run, we get worried. People in Government are spoiling the future of our children and destroying the livelihoods of our farmers. In essence, they have failed the country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you have a Government creating a special Fund for prominent people, whether deceased or not, you start wondering whether this is a country only for the rich. The poor have no chance. view

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to join my colleagues in saying that this Bill will assist the marginalised communities. It is well documented that this Fund should have assisted these communities 10 years ago. Unfortunately, the National Treasury mandarins have been running this as a personal account. When the framers of the Constitution set-up this Fund, the intention was to ensure the so- called closed districts and other marginalised areas benefited and caught up with other areas which were benefiting from the largess of the Governments that had ruled this country since Independence. The Bill is ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The qualifications of the people on the board will assist. In the past, we have had people picked from anywhere without qualifications into some boards. However, the fact that these people should be qualified in the sense that they are conversant with the economic development and planning, finance, law, accounting, social sciences and meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution makes this an outstanding Bill that should be supported. The other very important thing about this Bill is that apart from the board members, experts can be co-opted at any one time ... view
