  • 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: I am quite sure Members read a lot. But they receive a lot of papers; a lot of documents and reports. When there is something a little bit off the normal, my request is that half a minute or so would help in just saying a word. The title is not very clear. view
  • 23 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that sometime in April you appointed five Members of the Senate and one Secretary to attend the Annual Investment Meeting in Dubai. This is a meeting, but it is also a large conference where world investors, organizations and governments who have money to invest go to say they want to invest in this or that sector. At the same conference, government institutions, individual bodies like cities in various countries go there saying they are looking for investments in this or that. Whereas, we, the Senators formed the opinion that the conference was very useful, ... view

  • 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, hon. Speaker. From the outset, let me thank the President for nominating very capable Kenyans to those positions. Those people have a lot of education and experience, especially hon. Githae, who comes from my constituency, Ndia, and Kirinyaga County in particular. I have known him for 15years and as a Minister for Finance and also former Member for Ndia, I know he will do a very good job in Washington especially in the economic diplomacy. view
  • 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: It has been noted very clearly that there is no set criteria for appointing those qualified Kenyans. I call upon this House to pass a law, rules and regulations so that, in future appointments, we have a set criteria to go by. Otherwise, it is very commendable for the Committee, for the first time, to do this work the way they have done it. view
  • 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Of particular interest is the appointment of Ms. Lucy Chelimo. I am not a Member of this Committee, but I was listening to the radio and the way she was answering the questions impressed me very much. We have very capable young women and men who can do this work. I call upon His Excellency to appoint more young people to those positions. They can do commendable work. view
  • 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
  • 2 Sep 2014 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. I seek guidance from the Chair. We are in the Committee of the Whole. What are we supposed to do here? We are in the Committee of the Whole to consider the Bill at hand clause by clause. However, if we are debating what we have already agreed on and nobody has a quarrel with, with your guidance, what are we really debating? view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this very important Motion as a member of the Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s Committee and as a person who has been around for some time. There used to be institutions in this country called cooperative societies. Many parts of this country prospered because of them. However, somewhere along the way, members of the management committees discovered that if the cooperatives were paid Kshs30 million, they could write themselves a Kshs5 million cheque, cash it and go home and nothing happened to them. They did so for a long time without being ... view
  • 7 Aug 2014 in Senate: Mr. Chairperson, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Schedule to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment) Bill, 2014 be amended by deleting the proposed amendment to the Sports Act No.25 of 2013. Mr. Chairperson, Sir, allow me to clarify a point here, this is not my personal amendment as Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki. There is a misprint. It was out of the resolution of the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and my submission to the Speaker said as much. I said that I am moving on behalf of the Chairperson because he would not be there. That notwithstanding, we do ... view
