• 26 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: level of legislation cannot understand the difference between the terms “physical planning” and “land use planning”.

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. While I agree from the outset that the membership of this board is long overdue; probably it is the most opportune time. I want to raise a few fundamental issues that will need your guidance. The letter seconding the members for approval of this House is dated 20th February 2019 signed by Henry Rotich, Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury and Planning.

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: For sure, Hon. Speaker, I agree that the Act provides that the Cabinet Secretary has the powers to appoint. I was looking at the provisions of the Constitution which require public officers to act in a manner to promote fair competition for public positions. view

• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, Irene Masit comes from Rift Valley, Abdiaziz Bulle Yarrow comes from North Eastern, Isabel Nyambura Waiyaki comes from Central, Maria Lekoloto comes from Rift Valley, Anyanga comes from Nyanza and George Kasatua Ole Meshuko comes from the Rift Valley. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Probably, I need to draw the attention of the House to the provisions of the Constitution. In its preamble it is specific. If I may read partly as: “RECOGNISING the aspirations of all Kenyans for a government based on the essential values of human rights, equality, freedom, democracy, social justice and the rule of law: PROUD of our ethnic, cultural and religious diversity and determined to live in peace and unity as one indivisible sovereign nation…” Section 15(2) of the National Government Constituency Development Fund Act is very specific.
