• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to also make my contribution on this very important Motion that deals with political party funding and, of course, the Report by this very honourable Committee.

• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Special Funds Accounts Committee generally has been doing great work from its inception. Recently, we had the occasion to listen to them present three years audited financial statements of NG-CDF of all the constituencies within the county of Nairobi and they are quite a lot. I think this Committee is really working very hard. It is second only to the Committee on Delegated Legislation that I sit in, which the Speaker himself said is the best Committee. So, this must be second best committee. Because we are talking about political parties, allow me to mourn the death of my party ... view
• 7 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: an election. We are facing a situation where we went into a coalition called NASA. In the NASA coalition, there is ODM, WDM – K, ANC and FORD – K. In the sharing of those monies, we must realise that in the process of going into a coalition, some parties sacrificed the position of President. The presidency was given to ODM. That means that there will obviously be more votes cast for ODM because the presidential candidate is from their party. It is also obvious that a lot of times, just because the President comes from one party, even all ... view

• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity although you have demoted me in your comment. I am the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party, not the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party. view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I also arise to support these amendments to the County Governments Act. It is very timely; an opportune moment in Kenya’s history. I begin by saying that I believe county assemblies are a miniature version of the National Assembly. In fact, if you look at the roles that are carried out by our MCAs, they are exactly a direct replication of the ones we carry out in the National Assembly. The Senate has a responsibility to ensure that the laws that we use in the National Assembly to run our business ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: would run the term of the governor like it is currently happening in Nyeri County. I am not against the individual but the principle. The minute you say that the deputy governor will continue the rest of the term if the governor dies or is incapacitated in any way, it puts all 47 governors in grave danger. Not all of them get into these relationships of deputy governor and governor because they love each other. Many of them do it because of convenience. When you look at a county and the broadness of a county, people pick a deputy governor ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you. So, the issue of having a deputy speaker in law is critical. In the absence of the speaker, the deputy takes over. We have also provided for what happens when both of them are not there. We have also put sanity in the removal of the speaker. A colleague has just said that if you make it very easy then it will be abused. You know there is a lot of politics in our assemblies and even in National Assembly it happens all the time. There are disagreements on personal level because of basic things. People would even ... view
• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: and he did not buy it. It becomes clearer that you cannot just go out and impeach him because there must be proper grounds. This law has actually given us proper grounds. Finally, on the issue of recruitment of county secretaries, members of the board, county service boards, there has been a lot of abuse from 2013 where governors recruit their cronies, friends and girlfriends. They put people who basically supported them. Recently in Machakos The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 6 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: County, our governor created positions that do not exist. He actually came up with water boards which are a violation of the law and the water boards that are known nationally told him off about it. In those boards, he just put all those people who vied in his party - Maendeleo Chapchap - as members of the board to run affairs of water in the county. Honestly, when we talk about proper recruitment processes, this is going to put sanity on how governors will operate and it will bring sense on how we run our county assemblies. Thank you, ... view
