As a Member of Parliament, you must provide oversight within your constituency to enable prudent use of money within that constituency. It is most important to know that if there is a devolved function which is working and the common mwananchi is appreciating, it is the NG-CDF. One thing we need to do as Members of Parliament is to find a way of increasing that allocation. This is the money you can oversee and it is going directly to the electorate. We have been given a room here by the courts to harmonise the 2013 and the 2015 Acts. I ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand guided. I believe the spirit is the same because we are looking forward to making sure that our colleagues who we were in the 11th Parliament have started their lives. I want to say very clearly that this Motion is overdue and I thank the leadership for the selection of the members to this Committee. Hon. Mwadime and Hon. Wanyama are members we served with last term. I know very clearly, they have the expertise to deal with this issue. Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to use you as an example. When you ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is very clear that our former colleagues out there who we were in this House together are suffering because they were in an election where they spent their resources. They need some cushion. I ask the members who are selected to this Committee to begin their work immediately with the other members and make sure that we put the interest of our colleagues. Those are our colleagues in this House and they will remain so. We intend to make sure that our colleagues out there give a true image of mheshimiwa. We have seen the scenario ...

together so that we can deal with this issue. I want this House to approve these names as soon as possible so that we give guidelines to those Members. We know that the Committee does not belong to the three Members. It belongs to the other arms of Government. Let Hon. Mwadime, Hon. Dan Wanyama and Hon. Rehema carry the interests of Members of Parliament to that Committee. If you find it difficult, please come back and report to us. Do not be oppressed because the Committee is large and there are only three of you. We will protect you ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the chance to make my contribution on this Report. I want to be clear at the outset that I oppose this Report before this House for several reasons. One main reason for opposing this Report is that the Committee did not read the entire ruling of the East Africa Court of Justice. As a House, we need to uphold the rule of law. If we continue debating this Report and the recommendations which have been given by the Committee, we are doing an exercise in futility. Sometimes it baffles me when ...

Rule 6(1) had already been dealt with by the Court. When this Committee sat, they based their argument on Rule 6(1). I hear Members making insinuations on the character of the membership we are sending to the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA). We are sending qualified and credible Kenyans to EALA. I have just heard Hon. Wario talk about a son of a running mate of a coalition called “the National Super Alliance (NASA)”. I want to ask a very simple question. Is that Deputy Principal in that coalition a Kenyan? Is he not a Kenyan? He is a Kenyan. ...
