• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Secondly, the other Nominee, Dr. Cecil has an impressive Curriculum Vitae (CV) but the plot over. When she was at Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), she did nothing to solve integrity issues there. There could have been a systematic problem and probably, we can excuse her for that matter. However, I urge the Members of this House, and the public that Mr. Ogallo is a wrong Nominee for that particular post. Hon. Speaker, the fight against corruption must be intensified. The friction between Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) is a ... view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Nominees were presented to this House on 12th April and committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. They got their tax compliance on 19th or 12th May, a month, or several months later after applying for the job. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: The question we are asking is, how then do you fail to pay taxes which in turn becomes an integrity issue? Thereafter, you rush to go get a compliance certificate which you even pay half, a quarter of the amount due, then claim to want to sit on an Integrity Committee? It is about morals and has nothing to do with the law. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: It is a moral and integrity issue, Hon. Speaker. You refuse to pay taxes then you apply to become a Speaker hopefully, in the next Parliament; and when we say you do not qualify because you have not paid taxes, in the morning, you rush to go and get a Tax Compliance Certificate; and because there is “tyranny of numbers” in the House, we then vote you in, in the afternoon as a Speaker. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: What message are you sending to the people and the children of Kenya? What are you saying? For once, let Parliament be serious with the matter of integrity. view
• 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: (Funyula, ODM) view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Children Bill. At the outset, I must admit that it is voluminous. So, it is not possible to deal on its every aspect. view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: We need to appreciate the important role that children play in the lives of this country, families and the society at large. We must also note that there are many cases where children are abused or denied their rights as dictated in the Constitution of Kenya, various international conventions, practices and norms all over the country, and the Africa Continent. We have a Children Act which is inadequate as far as the Constitution of Kenya is concerned and due to the changing realities of how children are brought up and managed in the various aspects. Indeed, children are our future ... view
• 6 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Allow me to pick a few issues that I came across as I read the Bill. Clause 2 of the Bill is on child abuse, which includes several issues. I want to make a comment on Clause 2(e). It clearly says that dissemination to a child any material, information, education or health service that promotes, induces, condones or normalises sexual activity or behaviour amongst children is an abuse. Many of the people whom I spoke to raised a bit of concern on the import of this clause in respect of children abuse. Through the Ministry of Education and other health ... view
