• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Secondly, there is the issue of time overruns. A properly planned project should not have more than 10 per cent time overrun based on the work plan agreed upon at the tendering process or planning. view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. view

• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues in thanking Hon. Koinange for the response. While it might be inadequate in the extent of the issues at hand, it gives an insight of the progress made. At times we stand here to condemn women and men in the police service wholesomely but when you interact with them, you appreciate the other side of the story that the NPS has not had an opportunity to tell the public. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, many of those who have been recruited into the NPS are young people who do not have any experience, and they have not been trained in many areas on how to deal with the society. I want to plead with the Committee and the country to continually invest in training and prepare these young men and women in terms of what they will be facing in the society. They should know that they will be dealing with different types of people, and that they will face hardships. Most importantly, they should remember that they are working as a ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the amendments to the alteration of the Calendar. There is a feeling outside there that Members are not doing enough to support the ordinary mwananchi during these hard times of the pandemic. Many are concerned about the few hours we are sitting and the so many issues that are not addressing the economic situation. This brings a more or less feeling that Parliament has heightened the fear. They fear to die of Coronavirus more than the ordinary mwananchi and that is why we do not seem to be doing much. Yes, we passed several ... view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to urge you and the House leadership to rethink through the programme of Parliament, so that we can expedite and move quite a number of these issues, so that Kenyans can see that we stand with them in these hard times. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The “CJ” is telling me his issues. Nevertheless, he is a good friend of mine. I stand to support the proposed amendment to the Health Act by our colleague, Hon. Mishra, in respect of the issue of referrals. The medical fraternity has a process for referrals. There is a possibility that it is being abused. There is a possibility that quite a number of referrals are not properly done, therefore, jeopardising the lives of very many patients in this country. However, the one that seems to have very many issues is referrals abroad. As ... view
• 12 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to comment on this. This month marks 10 years since we inaugurated the new Constitution. It is incumbent upon both the Senate and the National Assembly to respect the provisions of the Constitution. The leadership of both the Senate and the National Assembly needs to sit down and find ways and means of harmonising how things are done to avoid wastage of public resources. Quite a number of those Bills are very important to Kenyans, but as everybody has mentioned, if we are unable to proceed and conclude the process, that ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. We are a House of debate and we must be allowed to debate the Bills before us without any intentions of short changing anybody. I stand here to support the Parliamentary Pensions Amendment Bill No.3 of 2019 sponsored and presented in this House by Hon. Mwadime. I must take this opportunity to thank him for having spared the time to come up with these amendments. I want to start by making two important statements in respect of this matter. First of all, Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya requires that ... view
