• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 115 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraphs (b) and (c). view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I did not expect it to be on the Order Paper today. Otherwise, I would have come better prepared. Nevertheless, because this is the only opportunity to handle it, let me contribute to it. I oppose this approval. It is not a timely request. I understand that currently, at the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), we are using Phase I and have just completed construction of Phase II. It was constructed at a cost of Kshs27.30 billion. It is yet to be used. When we ... view
• 7 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Phase I was not being used fully or being properly utilised. That day, there were several berths without ships. It looked like staff members were on holiday. We are yet to use Phase II, but we are talking of going for more loans to build Phase III. We should use Phase II and understand the need for expansion. The fact that the loan is going to be cheap because the interest is very low is not an adequate reason for us to go on a borrowing spree. We need to borrow cheap money and utilise it in better areas, like ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First of all, I intend to oppose it because it is poorly drafted apart from coming to this House through the wrong Committee. It should have been channelled to the House through the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. Basically, this Bill talks about funds, and not legal issues. I therefore believe that it has come to the House through the wrong Committee of Parliament. This is my opinion. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The propagating the idea that some funds need to be retained by the Registrar at the end of the financial year, and that those funds should not be included in the budgeting that is drawn by the National Assembly is taking over the role of Parliament in budgeting. It is watering down the role of Parliament. How can you have some idle funds somewhere whereas in another sector of Government you are unable to make certain commitments or implement certain projects? The Judiciary is seriously misusing funds. In Upper Hill, there are some buildings which were meant for the Court ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: What I said is that this House is in charge of the budget-making process. The moment you have created a fund where money will be retained without coming back here for budgeting, it becomes unconstitutional. This Bill is, therefore, unconstitutional. This Bill does not even mention the Public Procurement and Disposal Act. When you are individualizing a fund, you are only talking of the Registrar of the JSC and no other person. That is individualizing it. You are not even referring this person to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act so that they follow that law. That is defective. Even ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The County Government of Bomet allocated the Judiciary some land to put up law court premises. The Judiciary went there and put up wooden structures using many millions of shillings. They misused the land instead of putting up proper buildings. They are putting up some buildings after misusing a lot of funds on wooden structures. They are now putting up sky scrapers. There is excess money in this country. The problem is that it goes to the wrong organs. view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: How can I confuse my small village? I cannot repair a murram road in my village yet we see massive wastage of taxpayers’ money. This Bill is not good. We should not be talking about it. What the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs should be dealing with is the issue of vetting of judges. We have three arms of Government. Those in the Executive renew their mandate every five years. We, in the Legislature, renew our mandate every five years. The mandate of those in the Judiciary is never renewed up to the age of 70 years. That ... view
