• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Bill by my dear brother, Hon. Neto. This Bill was passed in 2013. The CS and the Executive seem keen to sabotage its implementation. We have the vision, direction and legislation, but the implementation is what lacks in this country. Vision without implementation, to quote a famous president, Mr. Kagame, “is hallucination.” While we have the three arms of Government; the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary no one arm of Government should be frustrating the other. This is a very important thing. The NGOs are our stakeholders and partners. ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, once again, I am waiting for the Bribery Bill. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I wish to second this Bill as the Chair of the African Parliamentarians’ Network Against Corruption (APNAC). view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I said, APNEC Kenya represents all the Members of Parliament. We have a number of members, including you, who have been very active. This Bill is long overdue. We wish to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for bringing it to the House. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I deal with the Bill, I would like to tell you that other countries, including Fiji, where APNEC Kenya was asked to present, have been helped by such Bills in their anti-corruption campaign. This Bill will go a long way in putting us on the world ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: It is not prostitution. I mean “prosecution”. I am sorry, somebody’s mind is elsewhere. It is not in the House. Maybe, it is in Brazil or somewhere I do not know. I very clearly meant “prosecution.” view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The Bill extends the fight against corruption to the private sector by criminalising bribery in that sector. Hitherto, corruption and bribery issues were restricted to the public sector. It also creates a legal obligation for every person who becomes aware of the act of bribery to report the matter to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). We feel that, that is a good thing but we might want to extend that not only to be EACC, but the police and other bodies. The African Parliamentarians’ Network Against Corruption together with its partners like Transparency International (TI) and others, have been ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: to the public officials who are the decision-makers and give them a big cheque in a foreign country. This is where the Panama Bill has come in. Now we shall be able to prosecute them in this country. That is a great move. Public entities should have in place procedures for prevention of bribery. This is a very important clause. I am very grateful that it has been done. The other issue I want to discuss is that of facilitation. What is facilitation? Is it an advantage given or cash? The Bribery Bill has covered this, but I think that ... view

• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support part of the proposal in respect to withdrawals. As it has been stated, the function of the Controller of Budget does not extend to the level of compliance in respect of the national Government. So, I do not agree with Part (ii) but I agree with Part (i) view
