• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you will realise that apart from the four by the Parliamentary Service Commission, all the rest, under the current law, were religious leaders. We want to depart from that and give them two slots and share the remaining with the other institutions I mentioned. We noted that there is need to review the composition of the selection panel in order to reduce…I do not need to repeat that. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: We are pleading with the House to pass the amendment to that proposed section 2. Section 2(c) of the Bill seeks to delete paragraph 1(3) of the First Schedule and provide for a seven days’ timeline within which nominating bodies shall submit names for filling of vacancies to the office of the chairperson and members of the Commission. The current law as it is does not give a timeframe to the selection panel members within which to forward the names. If the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: President declares vacancies available, they are supposed to forward names within a timeframe. The current law is open-ended. What we have done in this amendment is to provide for seven days so that if a vacancy is declared today, they will have seven days within which to forward the name of the person to sit in the selection panel. That is for clarity purposes and also to save on time otherwise, we will have an open-ended timeframe. Somebody can take a month and there will be no conclusion. This is important noting that we have had only three commissioners for ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want you to hear this, as you finish with the Chairman of the Public Investments Committee (PIC). I know the House hears but, I want the Speaker to hear. Though the Hon. Speaker does not have ears, he can hear. Hon. Speaker, I was so envious that I want to make a very important observation. It is important because you are the head of this House. I do not want this House to be accused, one day, of having left a lacuna in law for so long. This issue has two dimensions. It is both political and ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what is before the House is the Independent Electoral and Boundaries (Amendment) Bill which seeks to establish a selection panel. The Member is talking about reducing the number of commissioners which is completely not an issue in the Bill. Is he in order to mislead the House that we are discussing the reduction of the number of the commissioners? What is before the House is the number of the selection panel, but not the commissioners. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want, first of all, to thank Members for their contributions. There are those who supported and there are those who opposed. That is in order. This is a House of debate and the House will finally have the last say. Certain issues have been raised. Allow me to respond to about two or three. One is the fact that there are other proposals with the CIOC and in Hon. Jude Njomo’s Bill and many others. That is in order. This Bill before the House went through the normal process and so, it cannot be stopped ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the Motion as ably moved by the Member for Turkana East. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish this debate is done when the House is full because the victims of this situation are at risk. We are the people who have been affected by the cattle rustling menace. I moved a Motion before this House in the 11th Parliament and showed, by statistics, the extent of the damage cattle rustling has caused the country. We have widows, widowers and orphans out of this. A family that is a millionaire today wakes up one day and it is destitute. This situation affects half of the country which is the pastoral community. I ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: is why even today, this matter is coming at a time when we are 10, 15 or 20 Members in the House who are lamenting to ourselves. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: When the NPRs were recruited to the regions which were affected, it was because the Government took time to understand the seriousness of the issue and confirmed that security forces in those areas could not guarantee peace and security to the people and their property. The same Government vetted the NPRs properly. They talked to the chiefs, assistant chiefs and the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and confirmed that those persons could serve as NPRs, and their finger prints were taken. The process of employing NPRs was undertaken professionally by the Government. What shocked us is that they were withdrawn without ... view
