• 21 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I note that the money Bill aspect is the most critical because any time a Bill has monetary implications as stipulated in Article 114, it means that the Exchequer will incur an expense to make that legislation a reality. A lot of times, some amendments and some laws are meant to improve the lives of the people we represent, but they are not going to charge the Exchequer. It costs nothing to implement other than cleaning up how we do business. Once Bills have been cleared by the Speaker of the money Bill aspect and the Budget and Appropriations Committee ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support my colleague in this petition. There is a big problem in this country on issues land. The Constitution gave us a commission that was meant to deal with these issues and probably sort out historical injustices on land issues. As we get a new commission, it is high time we dealt with these issues with finality so that every so often, we do not have petitions to do with land. There are so many cases of people who were settled and still they have to be moved and all that. Machakos ... view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. First and foremost, I believe the Senate is doing what is expected of it, which is to legislate and make sure that the Constitution works for the counties of this Republic. In the wisdom of Kenyans, when they were coming up with this Constitution under Article 192, they came up with a proposal to suspend a county government which is not working, especially due to very poor working relationship between our governors and members of the county assemblies (MCAs), which is a constant headache in this nation. view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: I was wondering why there is chaos in many of our county assemblies. I realised that it is because the county leadership, which comprises the governors, the executive and the MCAs, is not very sure about how to relate with each other. The county government is a replica of the national Government. The county assembly is a miniature version of the National Assembly. When you look at the responsibilities that are given out to the MCAs at the county level, you find that they replicate exactly what we do. They represent, legislate and oversee, which is basically what we do ... view
