• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I know you are wise and you sympathise with us here. Looking at you, you can see where we are going. There is a serious problem. In my view - and I may be wrong - there was no meeting to do the election for the chair and the vice-chair of the sub-committee. Since we need to spend our time in a useful manner and noting that this Committee is very important, the more we discuss it, the more we raise more doubts about their performance. view
• 29 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I request that you give your direction in this matter because it is a House of records. It appears to me that there were no elections. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House: Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of a Petition regarding unethical conduct of the Registrar of Companies by Mr. Samuel Matheri Hungu. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Petition to County Assemblies (Procedure) Bill (Senate Bill No. 22 of 2018) be now read a Second Time. The Bill seeks to give effect to Article 37 of our Constitution on the right to present petitions to public authorities and to provide the procedure for the exercise of that right. Unlike the case where any Kenya can petition the House on a matter of concern to that Kenyan for the House to address, we do not have a law governing petition presentation to county assemblies. So, this Bill ... view
• 17 Oct 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
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Commission, Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA). So, we were satisfied as a Committee that proper and appropriate public participation was undertaken by the Senate. Therefore, there was no need for us to again undertake further public participation on this particular Bill. We also observed that the Bill is largely based on the provisions of the Petition to Parliament (Procedure) Act (No. 22 of 2012) which regulates the processing of petitions to Parliament since the beginning of the 11th Parliament. So, there is a lot of borrowing in this Bill from what goes ... view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are all affected because there are matters in our counties and constituencies which need not be presented in this House. They can be done in our county assemblies. So, this law in my view helps to reduce petitions in this House. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have spoken about devolving everything down to the people. We receive a lot of petitions in this House from Kenyans in the counties and sub- counties just because there is no law in our county assemblies to enable Kenyans to present them at that level. I believe it will reduce that pressure of having petitions brought to this House. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Recently, my Committee received petitions from people all the way from North Eastern and Lodwar. People travelled all the way to Nairobi to come and defend their petitions. I think this is a good move by the Senate so that we do this in the sub-counties. So, indeed the Senate did sufficient public participation on the Bill and considered most of the recommendations by the major stakeholders as I have said. Therefore, we felt it was not necessary to undertake further public participation. view
• 17 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Article 201 of our Constitution requires that public money should be used in a prudent and responsible manner. If we are satisfied that the Senate has done a good job in terms of public participation, it is wise and prudent for us not to commit further public resources to undertake public participation on this. So, Article 201(d) is coming to play in this one. view
