exercise of getting Huduma Namba and the same company could be entangled within the same exercise. Therefore, it is good for us to note that the amendments as brought by Hon. Kaluma have more ramifications than the ramifications insofar as dealing with IEBC is concerned. I started by saying that we have mixed reactions around it. That is why we as members are indifferent. On the other side of the coin, I want to note that we went through a lot of agony.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I never wanted to be seen as usurping the powers of my chairman, who is my very good friend. The point I was driving home is that as a member of PAC I want to reminisce that we actually went through a lot of agony, even tracing where we could get these fellows to come before the committee. We went around Nairobi looking for them, we could not trace them. We went to their website calling them. We actually took a lot of time to get the directors of IDEMIA to come before PAC. ...

Hon. Speaker, I rise pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44 as read together with the provisions of Standing Order No.212D relating to the Parliamentary Broadcasting and Library Committee, and Standing Order No.127(3A) with respect to public participation on Bills upon publication. My attention has been drawn to misleading information being spread partly by the mainstream media, social media and other individuals regarding the contents of my Bill titled: “The Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes (Amendment) Bill”, which was published on 1st March 2019 and read for the First Time on 20th March 2019. My Bill, which has only two ...

(1) That, individuals and institutions outside Parliament will now have the audacity of curtailing the legislative authority of Parliament under Article 95 of the Constitution by twisting the objects of published Bills, especially to poison the minds of the public against the institution of Parliament. (2) That, individual Members may now be discouraged from proposing legislation or even taking part in making laws. (3) That, other individual Members may be discouraged from supporting legislations in this House including Bills emanating from the Executive, which would be a retrogressive trend. (4) That, this House will henceforth allow the media to continue ...

I want to set the record straight and we have the benefit of the HANSARD. I have never, in the House, talked anything about the DCI or clipping the powers of the DPP. I also have the privilege to talk about what is in my mind. I have never contemplated bringing such a Bill in this House.

I urge my colleagues not to politicise such brilliant business that will assist our Government in the fight against corruption. As it was put correctly by Hon. Kimani Ichung’wah, yesterday, I was totally perturbed to see a person of the stature of a so-called engineer purporting to have read a Bill from…

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute. I rise to support this Motion by the able Chair of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. I have to commend the Committee I sit in, that is, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). It is because of the report of PAC that now we are able to get a new amount in terms of the sharable revenues, especially the monies that go to our devolved units in the name of counties. I want my contribution to dwell more on how we use county money and even ...
