• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I would to thank all the Members who contributed to this very important Bill that will ensure that there is order and due process is conducted while approving public appointments at the county assemblies. I noticed that most Members spoke with regard to the issue of giving powers to the county assemblies that will be equivalent to those of the High Court and similarly to those which have been given to this House and the Senate. As you know, I totally agree with Members who spoke in opposition of this issue. I will ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: is based in Eldoret. So, their powers should only be limited to the counties in which they exercise authority. Therefore, we will be moving an amendment to state that they will have equivalent powers to that a magistrate since we know the magistrates’ powers are also territorial in nature. They are just limited to the areas in which they have been appointed. Hon. Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I notice that you have spoken well with respect to what happened. You know this is what I call exuberant and exorbitant hypocrisy. People attend House Business Committee which I am not a member. Then they come here and bring those issues. This is part of the 20 per cent bad laws in the Standing Orders, which we must amend. If all the Chairs of Committees sat in the HBC, we would not be having this dancing. We would have resolved this. When people sit in the HBC, they come here appearing like they are carrying ... view

• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: They should use the rooms behind you. view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I think it is important for Members of Parliament to be fair to others. I listened to Hon. Midiwo in silence, but when I am speaking, he is interfering with me. We are all not of the same temperament. A little bit of noise interferes with my thoughts. I should be heard in silence. In fact, I agree with Hon. Ichung’wah that it is a question of age. It looks like Hon. Midiwo’s age is a problem, as much as mine is. He needs to concentrate. Hon. Midiwo, why are you annoyed? Which law has been broken? view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Midiwo purported to quote the Standing Orders, and looking at the word ‘shall’ there is a comma after it. If you remove the rest, there is no consultation that you were required to undertake. In fact, the word which is in brackets is ‘may’. What you are required to do is to present the name and not dwell on consultations. For some us who studied English, we know that it is not a requirement. What I have heard here has surprised me. In fact, HBC should be apologising to us. In fact, you are required to present to us ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: are all in agreement that the Standing Orders have been breached. Why should he tell us that he is opposing? Opposing what? The Standing Orders are very clear. With regard to Hon. Omulele, I am here to support him, because he is my friend. We serve together in the Committee on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIOC) under the able chairmanship of Hon. Njoroge Baiya. As you know, Hon. Omulele is an advocate like me. The only difference is that he is my junior and a very able person. Do not take him for granted. He believes in the ideals ... view

• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Yesterday, Hon. Midiwo seconded my Motion to defer the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (Amendment) Bill. I also rise to second Hon. Midiwo that we defer this Bill. I rise pursuant to the Standing Order No. 40(2) that this matter be withdrawn. This is a very serious matter. The Constitution is very clear. Article 95 of the Constitution states:- “The National Assembly deliberates on and resolves issues of concern to the people.” view
