Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to second this Report of PAC. I start by quoting from the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill: “Man, with his superior sense of intuition, with the capacity to think and to reason, does not eat his fellowman bodily....

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also support this Bill. Of course, it goes without saying that I will support it because I was one of the architects of this Bill after a prolonged period of negotiations with the other people who were...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. “Maitu” in my mother tongue means, “one groundnut”. So, I was a bit confused. That was my point of order. (Laughter)

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to second the adoption of this Report. At the inception of this Committee, we went through a very long period of public participation, taking views from members of the public and specific organisations that have interest in elections. The Parliamentary...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Hon. Deputy Speaker, it was very difficult to go ahead and propose those amendments to the Constitution because some of them would have taken a very long time and we would not have made the deadline for the 2017 elections. It might appear that we disappointed some...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had left Parliament, but when I heard this debate on the radio, I quickly came back because it has been close to my heart. Hon. Naomi Shaban has mentioned a lot of things that I would have mentioned. One of...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Temporary Deputy Speaker (Hon. Cheboi) : Let me give Hon. Eseli an opportunity and it has to be different. We cannot go back to the same thing. Many Members have spoken on this. Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu On...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity to also lend my voice to what Hon. Gumbo started. I had the opportunity to be in China just before the competition started. In the hotel we were staying, there was one Chinese who was very good in English. He...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to present a Public Petition. I, the undersigned, on behalf of Mr. Peter Orowe Nyambok, a resident of Rodi Kopany, Homa Bay County, draw the attention of the House to the following:- THAT, the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) is an...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. My view is that we are engaged in an exercise in futility because we are taking corruption in isolation. Corruption is related to impunity and tribalism. The three are the evils...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, hon. Speaker. (Several hon. Members left the Chamber)

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Thank you, hon. Speaker. Today, I am very proud to be a Member of the 11th Parliament that from morning to now, you have actually guided this House right in front of our eyes and all Kenyans to form a consensus. (Loud consultations)

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu Hon. Speaker, you have prudently guided this House until this afternoon at plenary. We have actually been able to build consensus under your guidance. I was privileged to be in the last Parliament - the Tenth Parliament - which was a post- conflict Parliament. That Parliament rose...

Hon. (Dr.) Simiyu On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. This House is guided by the Standing Orders and procedure. As the hon. Member starts debating this Motion, we have not seen her table the Report. She said that she was tabling, but she did not table it.
