• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to also make my contribution on this Report. First, I would like to thank the Committee chaired by Hon. Wandayi for an excellent job. The Report is well detailed and very clear and precise on matters of financial resources of the State. Secondly, the Committee has also done a good job to ensure that these reports are presented in good time. If we are now discussing the FY 2017/2018, it means the Committee is almost catching up with time. Previously, reports would be given that were six to 10 years behind. ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: frustrate the cases. At the end of the day, there are very few convictions out of all these criminal cases. That is why people continue to steal. They realise that very little will be done. Maybe the money they steal is also used to buy justice. It is a shame. I am also aware of cases to do with the white elephants where Kenyan taxpayers' money is used to pay contractors when nothing has been done. A case in point is the dams in the Rift Valley, namely, Arror Dam and Kimwarer Dam. I think there is probably a case ... view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: to an office and within a day, you have all the answers. It could be a case of something that happened eight to nine months ago. Sometimes even a year, two, or even three years. Therefore, whenever they issue a query today, tomorrow they are already on their websites publishing the questions that are asked and they are not answered before the answers come. Those are the things that are used to tarnish people's names. I think it is important that the Auditor-General makes sure that by the time they publish their reports, because I think they publish the final ... view
• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I, Robert Mbui, MP for Kathiani Constituency, I vote yes. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am on a point of order. I have listened very keenly to my sister, Hon. Member for Malindi. She has stated on the Hansard that Members of Parliament have been called back from resting. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want it to go on record that we were not at home resting. We were stopped from being in Parliament because of COVID-19. Therefore, we have come here to deal with the issues of BBI not because we have come from resting. Had we not closed, we would have been in Parliament. Is she ... view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I would also like to agree with Hon. Junet that this is not a major issue. It is a very small issue that we need to dispense with as quickly as possible because we have serious business. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Looking at this case and the Report, clearly, we may be spending a lot of the time of this House on a very minor issue. The accusations that have come on this matter are very minor. This is about a person who is a Director at the IEBC and then applied for the position of board member of the Media Council of Kenya and got that position. Why should we belabour the point and spend energy fighting to remove such a person? There are many ways by which people can be removed from office. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: We do not want to spend Parliament’s time discussing an individual. One can be in the IEBC and become a chairperson of a board in a school in his or her constituency. Does that become illegal? Does Parliament have to sit here and discuss such matters? view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: If you look at this thing, clearly, there is even precedent. There are other IEBC directors who have also served in other boards. One served in the Salaries and Remuneration Commission The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: with the approval of the IEBC. So, this is something that I believe is very malicious. The best thing to do is to just put the Question, so that we finish with this matter. view
