• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I fully support the amendment. However, as it has been the practice throughout, there is no timeline which is given to the authorities to make a decision. They can take a year or ignore a matter all the same. I do not know how we can do it procedurally. Whenever authorities are given discretion to make a decision, there must be a timeline within which to make that decision.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support but I am just wondering whether the spirit is to criminalise simple administrative mistakes that might happen all along like forgetting to enter the records of the child and other small things.

• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am not a ranking Member of the Committee but I am an active Member. I am seized of the update of the matter. The Cabinet Secretary came to answer Questions that were asked much earlier and he said he had not received the second set of Questions, which includes the one by Hon. Tim Wanyonyi and many other Members. He undertook to come back to us on either 27th or 28th of this month to answer the remaining set of Questions. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We asked our team of clerks to compile all the Questions that are pending and forward them to his office to prepare answers in readiness for either date. So, I seek his indulgence that we will communicate to him in good time for him to be present to receive the answer from the Cabinet Secretary on that date. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I sit in the Committee on Delegated Legislation and I had an opportunity to listen to the presenters and other stakeholders. I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have said about public participation and the rest. Just allow me to make a few comments and specifically with regard to various provisions. I was alarmed like any other Member of the Committee by a provision that gave the Officer Commanding a Police Station (OCS) unfettered authority to call upon the private security guards to provide security in national ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Committee’s decision that calls for the annulment of the Regulations. They need to be thoroughly reworked on before they are brought before the Committee for review and approval. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my Hon. Colleague is becoming notorious for taking all the opportunity to tell lies where there are no lies at all. The ODM is a political party which has no militia. We have ardent supporters who protected Baba’s bedroom. view

Temporary Deputy Speaker, on behalf of the Chairperson of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, I beg to move: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Committee on Delegated Legislation on its consideration of the Political Parties (Funding) Regulations, 2019 (Legal Notice No.143 of 2019), laid on the Table of the House on Wednesday, 6th November 2019, and pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013 and Standing Order 210(4)(b), annuls Regulation 18 of the said Regulations. view

Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Committee on Delegated Legislation is established pursuant to Standing Order 210 with power to scrutinise all statutory instruments submitted to the House and to certify and ensure that these instruments comply with the Constitution of Kenya and all applicable laws. view
