• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: As Members have indicated, we note that we will need to beef up our reports like Hon. Millie suggested. If we are talking about the needy bright students who have been targeted for an affirmative action by provision for bursary, the Ministry should provide an actual list, so that if hon. Millie wants to check the students from her Mbita Constituency, then she can identify the particular students who are being targeted. Without talking too much about this, we have had challenges with certain Cabinet Secretaries who do not respond with full information. Finally, we have a serious backlog as ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to start by noting that this is a special Motion on its own right. 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
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand guided. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House notes the Report of the Committee on Implementation on Status of Implementation of House Resolutions from May, 2013 to February, 2015, laid on the Table of the House on Thursday, 2nd April, 2015. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was going to state that this is a special Motion on its own right. Even from its text, the Select Committee on Implementation has a very unique role it plays as a link between the legislative arm of Government and the Executive arm of Government. In that respect, our role, as a Committee, is to follow up on House resolutions as stipulated under Standing Order No.209 with the relevant arms of the Executive and report back to this House. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: In that respect, the Report is for purposes of updating Members on the extent to which the business of the National Assembly is taken seriously and implemented by the Executive arm of Government. The Hon. Chair for the PIC has just stated that the Committee on Implementation is a new Committee, but I must say that it might be a misleading statement because this Committee has been in existence in our system. It also comes with a history because I know at some point it was taken out of the list of committees of the National Assembly, but we had ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: At this point, I also wish to note that the Ministry of Energy, at the time of tabling this Report in April, was yet to submit a report on the implementation status of two very critical resolutions of the House one of which is the compensation of people who have been affected by the Kenya Electricity Generation Company (KenGen) and Tana and Athi River Development Authority (TARDA). This Motion was moved by Hon. Wario. This Ministry was yet to submit a report to the House on the liberalization of power distribution in the country. The reason I point out to ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: At the time of tabling the Report, we were at the verge of invoking Standing Order No.209 (3) which gives the Committee the mandate and authority to sanction cabinet secretaries who do not co-operate with Parliament in terms of reporting back to the House. As things stand right now, we got a report from this Ministry and we shelved the invocation of Standing Order No.209(3) on sanctioning the Cabinet Secretary. I wish at this point, to acknowledge the support we have received from the Office of the Speaker and that of the Clerk of the National Assembly. They have accorded ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: support in terms of executing our mandate. Instructive to note is this Motion, which is a special Motion, because we are not adopting any recommendation from this Committee. Through the Office of the Speaker and that of the Clerk, we had an opportunity--- I hope this is something which will continue as a practice of this House so that the Committee on Implementation will be able to update Members in terms of the outcome of every resolution passed on the Floor of the House. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is the only way Parliament will cease to be like a talk shop. This will also ensure that every undertaking by the Executive, every resolution of the House and legislation passed on this Floor will be implemented to the letter. Therefore, on behalf of the Members of this Committee and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.196(6), I now have the honour to present to the House the Committee’s Report on the status of implementation. view
