• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wanted to comment on the same matter if you allow me. view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. When I was listening to this Communication, I was wondering whether we are going to conduct any business in this House. The judgment changes how the National Assembly performs its role. We know our role clearly is on legislation. We know that all Bills must now be subjected to concurrence as per the provisions of Article 110(3) of the Constitution, which may delay the legislative process. Already we wasted a lot of time in this nation because of COVID-19. So, these are some of the judgments that are necessary at these times. However, the judgment does ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Moreover, a repeat of the legislation process will not convert a Bill that does not concern county governments to one that concerns county governments. This will only lead to wastage of public resources. Therefore, the Senate has admitted before in a Report of their Select Committee on Constitution and Legal Review that they have a restrictive legislative role with regard to approval of persons for appointment to public office. Therefore, there was no basis for challenging legislation such as the National Cohesion and Integration (Amendment) Act 2019, whose main focus was on appointment of Commissioners to the National Cohesion and ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that has been raised by Hon. Martha is on a question that was raised and addressed to the Cabinet Secretary, Health. It was on utilisation of COVID-19 funds that were raised by the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). That is why the Ministry said it is not their mandate. The private sector raised funds to help Kenyans during the COVID-19 pandemic period. They said they have no answer on how the money was utilised unless we directly contact KEPSA. Hon. Speaker the issue that was raised by Hon. Koros on attendance of Cabinet Secretaries, ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I just want to support my colleagues here on the issue of testing. You asked Hon. Koros to suggest how many times. I suggest once we come back from the long recess. It is important for Members to be tested. I encourage my colleagues as the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health. It would be important if Members would disclose if they have tested positive for Covid-19. This will fight the stigma that was initially there. It would be unfair if somebody tests positive for Covid-19 and interacts with colleagues who do not know, just ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Sessional Paper No.2 of 2019. When we talk about gender, we look at women, men, boys and girls. A lot of people have spoken in support of the Sessional Paper, especially on the gap we have in gender legislation and participation of women. A lot of the times when you talk about gender equality and discrimination, this nation’s policymakers tend to look at only Parliament on legislation. However, I am sure if policymakers look at participation of all genders in health, education and other areas of the Government, this issue of ... view
• 3 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: All said and done, I support the issue of sharing of benefits during dissolution of a marriage. On the issue of property and access to inheritance, it has been said before that girls cannot inherit property in many cultures. Every child is equal. So, I support and urge every Member here, not just the ladies, to support because it is an issue of gender. As I have said, the way the country is implementing the gender provisions, though we have a sunset clause of 2032 in the BBI Report - you never know - in 2022, we might want to ... view
