• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: So, I want to invite you to the council of elders and remind Kenyans that as we come to the end of the life of this Parliament, I want to persuade you to naturally go back to the house that nurtured you, that is the house of KANU. You will work with Senator Gideon Moi as we form the next Government. Otherwise, congratulations. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I apologise for coming a bit late. Obviously, I have not followed what transpired. However, if the answer that the Chairman gave is the one I received from the Committee Clerk, then it is a poor attempt at addressing the issues happening in my constituency.

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I, therefore, plead with you that there are very fundamental issues that I would like, as a Member of Parliament for Tiaty Constituency, to address. I would like the Committee to invite MPs from the neighbouring constituencies so that we meet the Cabinet Secretary himself… view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I just wanted clarification on the date of the meeting. That is all because I have nothing to ask my colleague. I have urgent issues in my constituency including the massive roadblocks that have been placed on the road between Marigat and Chemolingot. That is the most important issue that needs to be addressed. I have just heard about some date in April. That cannot wait because the police have blockaded the road and nobody can transport food into those places. There are schools that are closed up to now because of that blockade. That is an urgent issue that ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Yes Hon. Deputy Speaker, as a matter of policy, I want to know whether it is Government policy to starve the people in the entire Constituency of Tiaty from getting food. Is it a policy to starve our people from getting food? Are we being told to move out of Tiaty Constituency in general? This is because, the blockade of roads has nothing to do with banditry. Bandits are not on the roads. What are the police doing on the road? view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Actually, I am very grateful for what the Chairman has said. However, he is being fed with a lot of misinformation. So, if they want to visit, your office should facilitate the visit as soon as possible, if possible next week. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I beg to reply. I think the Member for Nyando has what was once referred to as a mood-meter to measure the mood of the House. I want to begin by appreciating the last speaker, Hon. Kaluma who passionately made a pitch for rejection of this Bill. However, I want to refer him to Article 108 of the Constitution. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Forgive me, Hon. Speaker. It is Article 191 which talks about conflict of laws. Article 191(2) of the Constitution talks about national legislation prevailing over county legislation. Article 191(2) says: “National legislation prevails over county legislation if – (a) the national legislation applies uniformly throughout Kenya and any of the conditions specified in clause (3) is satisfied; or (b) the national legislation is aimed at preventing unreasonable action by a county that – (i) is prejudicial to the economic, health or security interests of Kenya or another county; or (ii) impedes the implementation of national economic policy”. (3) The following ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I believe with that reading of the Constitution, in my view, it may address the issues or the fears raised by Hon. Kaluma, in terms of the need for this legislation to provide for a regulatory framework for county assemblies to look at statutory instruments. I want to appreciate all the Members who contributed to this Bill. A majority of them except for that move by Hon. Kaluma have supported this Bill. I listened very carefully to the issues raised by Members, and I believe this law by the Senate is basically to bring a specific law to address the ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On the matter of public participation, I have heard very interesting issues that are raised by you, Hon. Kaluma, and many other Members including Hon. Mbui, who is a Member of the committee. I would like Members to concretise the issues that they want to improve in the Bill.
