• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation on the constitutionality of the Kenya Gazette Notice Nos.2885, 2886, 2887 and 2888 published in the Kenya Gazette on 1st March, 2013, by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. view
• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I know you were very keen. When I stood to give notice of the Motion on the Report laid before the House, there was complete silence in the House. This is because there are serious issues that are affecting these Members. I support the amendment moved by the vice chairman of my committee on the Motion for Adjournment that we continue with the proceedings of the House. view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, as you consider hon. Members’ views to assist in your ruling on this very important issue, I would like you to address yourself to the provisions of Article 1 of our Constitution. The Constitution says, in Article 1, that this country’s sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya, and that, that sovereign power can only be exercised in accordance with the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, Sir, the Constitution was adopted by Kenyans following a long constitutional review process. There were exhaustive consultations and, finally, we adopted the Constitution. It was the desire of Kenyans that there shall ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I wish to seek clarification on two issues touching on Baringo County, particularly Baringo North, where we have serious insecurity problem. In mid April, the Inspector-General (IG) was able to visit my constituency in Baringo County, and promised to undertake operations there during the month of April, but and up to date nothing has been done. I wish to ask the Leader of Majority Party to explain when these will be undertaken. view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I stand to oppose the deletion of Clause 6 as proposed by hon. Sambu. As you can read from Section 6(1), that section encourages us to fulfill the provisions of Article 189 of the Constitution. Sub-section 2 reinforces again the fact that we need to encourage alternative dispute resolutions. Going through the court process sometimes can be very expensive, sometimes it takes time. I think this is what the law is trying to address so that if we are able to resolve issues through amicable discussions, it will save time and costs. I would like to ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: I was saying that we need to strengthen the Constitution so that this House, which actually passed the Constitution strengthening Article 189, should not again negate the same provision of our Constitution. I oppose the intention to delete Clause 6 and propose that it remains in the Bill. It is going to strengthen our dispute resolution mechanisms in our country. view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. Under Standing Order No.233, we are supposed to send this Bill to the Senate, as my other colleagues have said. This Bill is critical because we are now going for the first time to share the national revenue with the county governments. We need to do our duty as a House. Article 95 of the Constitution requires us, as a House, to fulfill our mandate that we are supposed to do. In as much as I say this, sometimes I wonder--- My good friend hon. Mbadi talks of us ... view

• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, we should go forward and say we need to sober up. It is both sides of the House – the Minority and the Majority sides which should sober up on these issues. So, I support this Motion and we need to pass it as soon as possible, so that it can be taken to the Senate. Thereafter, it will be used to allocate the national resources of our country. view
