• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I am not very sure the Member is on the right Motion. He is talking about services and facilities, which is Order No. 14, instead of tabling the report on the benchmarking visit to the UK. Probably there is a mix-up of these reports or he is overwhelmed by work. He has got two reports to present and he is confused on which one to start with. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I equally rise to oppose this report. It is very important not to allow ourselves as Members of Parliament to be used, just like one of my colleagues mentioned. Going by the Report, the vagueness it displays, right from the content all through to the recommendations, shows clearly that the Committee did not understand the question that was raised earlier. You notice that the Committee questioned various CSs who gave all right channelled answers. They questioned the CS for Interior, the CS for Agriculture and the CS for Trade and they all agreed that there was ... view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Speaker has ruled five minutes and I will be quite brief. I, first, want to appreciate you for noticing me today. It is not very easy. I rise to support this Motion. I sat in the Committee that vetted all the nominees for appointment as high commissioners and ambassadors by His Excellency the President. It was notable that there were so many speculations outside here, especially with regard to some nominees. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you protect me, I will appreciate because I cannot concentrate. I need attention. The House should keep quiet. I want your attention and that of the Hon. Members. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: There was opposition by some of our colleagues before the vetting of one lady, Ms. Sarah Serem. I need to pronounce myself on the same and say that it was extremely hard to find any fault during the vetting. As a House, we should not allow ourselves to be used to settle some scores. We need to be very careful when we are handling issues of appointments. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Ms. Sarah Serem was not working alone in the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. She was working with the other commissioners. She was just a spokesperson of the Commission. In as much as she never made a very interesting decision with regard to this House, that is a strength that we need to take seriously. That is the strength of a person who can stand with what she believes in. This is a person who will represent this country. She believes in this country. She will represent it in China. She will sell it because she believes in it. I want ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: We are not chasing Ms. Sarah Serem. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We need to appreciate the strengths of our men and women when they are given appointments by the State. When Mr. Ndegwa Muhoro was appointed by His Excellency the President, he did a tremendous job, in as much as we might not agree with him and there are issues. We do not need to agree with a person who is in a very controversial position. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In as much as Members disagree with Ms. Sarah Serem, we are not chasing her away. She is qualified for the position. I do not know why Hon. Joyce is opposing what I am saying. That is your sister. We support the nomination of all these ambassadors because they are competent, but not because they messed with us. view
