• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Health on alleged sexual assault, breakdown of equipment, surgical mix-up and general operations of Kenyatta National Hospital, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 20th March 2018, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.216 (5) (e). view
• 20 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I was almost asking myself whether this House considers gender balance because I have heard a lot of contributions from men and yet we know that women are also road users. I need the women’s voice to be heard. From the outset, I support the Bill. I have gone through the Report of the Committee and I can see the principal object of the Bill is to give effect to the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. According to the layman’s understanding, the Bill mainly provides for ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: because of tiredness. As you know human nature, there is so much that you can push your body to do. I think this requirement is important. On the issue of classification of roads, it is important for us to know the roads that are taken care of by the county governments. Sometimes there is a pull and push between county governments and the national Government. For example, initially, when Members of Parliament were allowed to construct roads, a Member would want to construct a specific road either through KURA and then the governor would also want to construct the same ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If I would have advised my brother, I would have told him that he would have just gone straight to the point. Maybe he wanted to say that we have no quorum. However, since he did not convince the Chair, I am glad to go on. On Clause 18, I was saying that there is the Kenya National Secondary Roads Authority that is going to be a body corporate. It is going to be responsible for the management, development, rehabilitation and maintenance of secondary national trunk roads that are classes C and D. I ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: When I looked at the submissions that were done before the Committee because I was going through the Report of the Committee, I saw the CoG raised the issue about the roads that are classified under Class D. They proposed that they should be left to be dealt with by the county governments. It is a matter of concern because I do not know whether the governors have really exhausted the other classes or they have enough funds to take care of them. It is a very good idea because it is there in the Constitution. However, I think in ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to, at the outset, say I second the Motion to approve the nominees for appointment as CSs. I was lucky to be in the vetting Committee. I would also like to congratulate the entire team for putting in long hours to ensure that the vetting went on well. Hon. Speaker, part of our mandate as a Committee was to look at the academic qualifications, employment records, professionalism, potential conflict of interest, knowledge of relevant subject, integrity, amongst other things, of the nominees. At the outset, I want to congratulate the President and the Deputy ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I was a bit disappointed to see Members from the other side of the coalition walking out. This is a very important exercise where we are going to approve the same people they will be sitting at their reception areas begging for favours. It is an embarrassment because they earn a salary from this House for supposedly representing their people but they have chosen otherwise. We had nine members appearing before us; three of them were ladies and the other six were gentlemen. I want to congratulate His Excellency the President and the Deputy President for giving us gender balance. ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: When we engaged the nominees, it is important to note, we realized that politics can also pay. We also saw the consequence of some of the political parties merging with Jubilee in the nomination of Hon. Munya and Hon. Yatani. Despite Hon. Munya being a politician, he also has vast knowledge from being a District Officer (D.O) all the way to serving as an Assistant Minister, a Governor and now back as a Cabinet Secretary. I want to encourage Members of this House that when you lose in election, it is not the end. If you are in the right ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I looked, with a lot of keenness, at the Curriculum Vitae (CV) of Ukur Yatani. If Members get a chance, they need to look at it to see the new way of doing CVs. This also impressed the Committee. I, therefore, urge this House that we move and approve the nominees to these positions because this nation needs to move on. We need to start serving the people. We also noted that one Mr. Chelugui, who is going to serve at the Ministry of Water and Sanitation, knew the subject matter of his Ministry inside-out and answered almost all the ... view
