• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to make my contributions to this Bill by our colleague Sen. Were. This is a wonderful Bill and I support it. Any endeavour by parliamentarians or whoever, to advance the course of justice in our country should be supported by all men of good intent and purpose in life. This Bill endeavours to see citizens accessing justice at the lowest level. The history of an Ombudsman comes from medieval times. Ombudsmen were referred to as secret royal inspectors. These were people who were sent out by the King to ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: In that Statement, I requested the Ministry to consider the possibility of ensuring each county has their own passport issuant centre. If we are talking about the issuance of passports, what about the office? Many of the average Kenyan folk consider passports to be a luxury. Perhaps, anywhere close to 50 to 60 per cent of the country do not have this document and do not see the need to have it. The numbers could even be higher. Compare and contrast that to the need of having an office of the Ombudsman in each and every county. This Bill is ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: creating, we want it to be headquartered in Nairobi? I suggested a headquarter outside Nairobi in the Tea Bill, but I could not convince my colleagues in the Ministry of Agriculture. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Were may suggest that we have the headquarter outside Nairobi. You can even suggest Bungoma or Kisumu. After all, in a Bill like this one, the office of the Ombudsman will have representatives or branches in each of the 47 counties. What is the problem taking these headquarters to Kisumu, Mandera or Turkana? Think about any other part of the country that has not ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: I have noted with concern that in this Bill, Parliament and the National Assembly are used interchangeably. This is the Twelfth Parliament and we know how much we have run into issues in that regard. It is important that Sen. Were checks keenly and ensures that in the place where she means Parliament, let it be Parliament and where she means the National Assembly, let it be the National Assembly. We should be serious about the business of considering laws and not add additional powers to our colleagues in the National Assembly, yet we continue to learn and realize that ... view
• 17 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to support and urge my colleague, Sen. Were, to consider some of the proposed amendments. I thank you. view
• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not a fan of gambling. In fact, the only gambling that I have ever involved myself in is Kamari, the one that is played by young boys. Sen. M. Kajwang knows it better than all of us. As young children--- view
• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that being the case, I will not add him any further accolades. However, I know where he grew up and what the obsession of children was those days. If he has changed his ways, it is fine with me. In conclusion, as a young child, there was a neighbourhood responsible father. We grew up in the days where raising children was a communal exercise. Every time he found us playing Kamari, he would collect all the money, beat us up and take us to the shop to buy us fruits as a warning that whatever we ... view
• 16 Jul 2019 in Senate: (KRA) has declared an institution to be tax compliant, where does a CS get the powers to declare it to be none tax compliance? We can all argue with the record. I am a fan of football. I enjoy what sport betting firms have been able to do in our country. Perhaps, it is for that reason that I am more lenient towards them, despite the fact that I would never encourage any of my children to engage in the activities that these firms promote. The issue that is being brought before this House is the disappearance of the rule ... view
