• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. First and foremost, I totally agree with the proposed deletion. There is nothing called “chartered universities”. We just have public and private universities. Secondly, this business of identifying institutions is very discriminative. In fact, I am going to request Mr. Omtata, who has been litigating generally, to challenge this law if it is passed. It is very discriminatory. When you enumerate the institutions that will nominate people to be directors in certain institutions, what are you telling other Kenyans who do not belong to these institutions? The Institute of Certified Public Secretaries ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It is very true, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Once you say certain institutions must provide people, what about other Kenyans? We have proposed an Elections (Amendment) Bill in which we seek to provide educational standards for Members of Parliament. One of the issues that Members of Parliament are raising is that it is discriminatory because anybody, including a tout, should qualify to become a Member of Parliament. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let me just conclude. There are people who have Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees. Are you saying those people cannot qualify to sit in this Board? view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Kenya Roads Bill (National Assembly Bill No.26 of 2015) and approved the same with amendments. view

• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is important that when we pass a Bill, we do not pass it when there are certain dissenting voices. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We are here as law makers. As law makers, we must be given an opportunity to prosecute that which we think is in line with the Constitution. So, I have requested that New Clause 11(C) be recommitted because it is unconstitutional in nature. If you look at Article 232 of the Constitution on values and principles of public service include, it says:- “(g) subject to paragraphs (h) and (i), fair competition and merit as the basis of appointments and promotions; (h) representation of Kenyan’s diverse communities; and (i) affording adequate and equal opportunities for appointment, training and advancement, at all ... view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: If you were to consider people with disabilities, you would ask how they have been accorded an opportunity here. How have women been accorded an opportunity here, so that we can take into account Article 27(8) of the Constitution? These are mandatory terms of the Constitution and this is a House of rules. We cannot just wake up one day and make rules that are inconsistent with the Constitution. You want to send me, as the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, to go and sue the National Assembly when we can sit here and agree. view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have also requested for recommital of New Clause 11(C). view
• 18 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 11C(f) be amended as follows:- (f) Five persons to be recruited competitively, and candidates shall possess the following qualifications:- Must possess a university degree from a recognised university. (i) Meets the requirements of Chapter 6 of the Constitution. (ii) be deleted. The reason is that Article 232(1) of the Constitution is very clear. It is on values and principles of public service. “(g) Subject to paragraphs (h) and (i), fair competition and merit as the basis of appointments and promotions.” view
