• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Fund. Guidelines of Statutory Instruments within the meaning of Section 2 of the Statutory Instruments Act and if made by the Registrar must be submitted to the National Assembly to be considered by the Committee. This was in contravention of Section 13(m) of the Statutory Instruments Act, which requires the Committee, during scrutiny, to check whether the Regulations inappropriately delegate legislative powers. Having examined the Political Parties (Funding) Regulations, 2019 against the Constitution of Kenya, the Interpretations and General Provisions Act (Cap 2) of the Laws of Kenya, the Political Parties Act, 2011, and Statutory Instruments Act No.23 of 2013 ... view
• 14 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you. Let me take this opportunity again to sincerely thank my colleagues in the House for having ventilated and contributed on this important Motion. It is important for us to note that funding of political parties is provided for in the Constitution and each year we make allocations towards that particular Vote. It is, therefore, important, knowing the emotive nature of the matter, that any regulations, rules or guidelines must have the blessings and approval of this House. On that matter, I beg to move that this House adopts the Report of the Committee on ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute. I support the Motion by my colleague, Hon. (Dr.) John Mutunga. It is obvious that the mainstay of the Kenyan economy is agriculture. Even though it has been shrinking, it still accounts for over 75 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product of this country. However, the contribution of the agriculture sector could have been much bigger if we had organised our farmers in a system that allows them to maximise production, or a system that allows them to get the highest returns from investment in the agriculture sector. One ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Agenda also calls for manufacturing. Kenya, being an agricultural economy, one of the greatest raw products could be agricultural. So, it is my goal to support the Motion. However, we need to address a few issues. One, the KENAFF needs to come out and popularise itself. From where I stand, my people in Funyula Constituency do not know it or have no strong association with it. They need to come out and undertake adequate capacity building to enable members understand the importance of joining the association. They need to understand the benefits of organising themselves in a manner that will ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this important Bill that has been sponsored by my party Chair and Leader of the Minority Party in the National Assembly of Kenya. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the greatest benefit for any worker is to retire knowing that he will be in a position to, at least, buy a newspaper, a packet of milk and his favourite drink while he enjoys his sunset days. Working for so many years and retiring to suffer until one finally dies is very bad. It is, indeed, an indictment of our system in this country. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I joined Parliament, I had very lofty ideas of Parliament. I had a rosy view about Parliament. But sitting here, interacting with people and having to deal with the expectation of the people, I believe that we need to treat our former MPs with utmost experience in a manner that befits the position they hold. During the much talked about Kibra by-election, I met one former MP from the coast region, who was an agent of a party that had no chance of winning that particular election. What I saw did not inspire confidence on ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: what the society does to some MPs. I prayed silently that when the people of Funyula have had enough of me and send me away, I will not get to that desperate position. view
