• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, let me read for the hon. Members what the Article itself says. Article 108 says:- “All candidates and political parties participating in an election shall be allocated reasonable air time on state radio and television broadcasting services during the campaign period.” Mr. Chairman, Sir, what the Committee is saying is that, that is a very small bit of the broadcasting world.

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, probably we could ask the Attorney General, so that instead of removing the magistrates and commissioners of oath, this can be an addition. So, a magistrate or commissioner of oath can commission, because those already have the rights to commission any of those documents in the first place. So, these again are additions. But I agree that this would save about Kshs150 million in terms of costs to the electoral body. view

• 21 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with much respect to the Minister for Finance, this Bill is very critical. The Second Reading was finished a day ago. Yesterday, the House was fully engaged with the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. The Minister has proposed very many amendments to the Bill. All those amendments require hon. Members, at least, to read them and we have not even read them. view

• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of clarification, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. There are very many Bills in one. We have a very large document. In view of the complexity and in view of the fact that they are moving very fast and something could move without hon. Members getting fully focused, is it possible that either the Chairlady or one of the Clerks reads the page number, so that we follow very clearly? view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we are at the Committee Stage. It is neither the First Reading nor the Second Reading. It is not debate time and we really need to be making progress. It is a matter of decision-making. The proposal from the Committee is there. Chairpersons are sometimes requested even on the Floor and they make decisions. As hon. Karua said it is a matter for decision-making. Let us make the decisions now. The debates have been undertaken. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, while I respect Dr. Khalwale very much, on this occasion I must disagree with him. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, laws deal with solving problems. We have an epidemic of rape. We do not have an epidemic of people accusing others falsely. At the point in time when that becomes a problem, we will deal with it. In any event, we have laws to deal with it. So, let us aim towards caution on the side of giving young people and women and those who are victims the ability to be supported by the law. view
