• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. It is a fact that the Registrar of Political Parties does not seem to have the capacity to generate a credible register because the time for nominations by political parties is fast approaching. So, I think the way to go is as has been proposed by this Motion. So, I support that we reduce this referral period, so that we deal with this matter as a matter of urgency. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will just be brief. I just want to add my voice also and say that I support these amendments, particularly the second one on the registration of voters. We just have to be realistic and see what is happening actually on the ground. I will give an example of Bomet County. We have got a target of over 300,000 voters. We have taken about 250,000 URP cards for registration. But at the moment, hardly 50,000 have gone through and we expect that those are the people who will determine what will happen in Bomet County. ... view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really do not understand why some hon. Members want to oppose the first amendment on the use of waiting cards when we know that we have got a number of youths and even elderly people--- There are so many who are married but did not have identity cards even before. They have had these waiting cards for a while and it is known that they are Kenyans. Why do we want to deny these people their right to vote? view
• 4 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I strongly support these two amendments. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, power outages are rampant, generally, all over the country, including where I come from. Recently, there was a blackout in areas near Kaplong and its neighborhood. What has the Ministry put in place to ensure that whenever there are such power outages there is immediate response from officers of the KPC? This is because at times it takes more than a week for these people to respond! view
• 28 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Bill. We agree that agriculture remains the main economic stay for this country. It is so important that we streamline the laws and regulations governing this sector. I want to thank the Minister for moving with speed. She had promised previously to come up with harmonized Bills. Having gone through the Bill, I also have some concerns which I am sure the Minister will address as she responds. I am not sure whether this Bill will achieve the intended objective, particularly, when ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is slightly on a different matter. I would like to know from the Chair of the House Business Committee how they prioritize their business. There are some of us who have Bills pending but they have never found their way to this House even for the First Reading. I have a Bill which was published as Bill No.44 of 2012. I also had a Motion which had to be debated not later than August, but it has never seen the light of day. So, I really do not know how the House Business Committee prioritizes business. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: It is, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion as amended and say that the issue of resettlement is a very sensitive matter. I want to believe that this Committee is really going to do its work. But I am worried because we really do not want to use select committees for specific Members of Parliament. They are the ones always in these select committees. I am saying so because I get worried when I see the same Members of Parliament, who were in the Select Committee on the Resettlement of IDPs, also in this Select Committee and yet that report ... view
