• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the Investment Promotion, Act Cap. 485 says, in my understanding, that if you are an investor, you come into the country with people from outside the country and they are given work permits, the day they leave your premises, and do not work for you anymore, you must report their departure to the immigration service, because they were given work permits on the basis of your application. If you say hon. Duale used to work for you five years ago, but you do not know his whereabouts and he is a foreigner then that is wrong. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: The Labour Institutions Act, of 2012 is what this House has been crying about since we started. We must have a system in which our workers go to the Middle East and are taken care of. This Bill says that all bureaus must be vetted. Before they even vet the workers they want to pick, the owners of those bureaus must be vetted. If a bureau is owned, for example, by hon. (Eng.) Gumbo, and one Kenyan suffers--- You do not own a bureau but maybe one day after you retire you will own one, even though now you are ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I will go to the Refugees Act. We have one million refugees. Did the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) ask us about capacity? This Bill is talking about 150,000 because we have signed the Vienna Convention and we cannot run away from it. We must host refugees, but we must host them depending on the capacity of our country. This Bill says that we will limit refugees in our country to 150,000. This number can only be varied by this House. If we have a problem with our neighbours, then the Government will come back to ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: we agree to remove the security of tenure, then everybody who worked with Mr. Kimaiyo must go. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: In conclusion, this Bill is before this House because of an emergency; lives have been lost. You saw on television that hon. Kanini Kega lost 14 of his constituents. We do not know whether tomorrow it is going to be hon. Wamalwa or hon. Duale. It can be anyone of us. Why are we here? You know you are the chairman of a party through a boardroom decision; I am saying that we must rise to the occasion. We must look at this Bill with soberness and identify the areas that are okay and those which we need to be ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this particular issue. From the outset, I want to say that should this Bill pass, it will, probably, mark the saddest moment in the history of our country. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill, in its spirit and intent, aims to take away from us what we have fought for very hard for many years; it will ruin the freedom that we enjoy today. I am quite surprised to hear somebody saying that this Bill is okay when it takes away some of the very rights which are very clearly stated in our own Constitution. I will start with Clause 5(a) of this Bill which takes away the freedom under Article 37 for us to be able to freely assemble, demonstrate and do whatever we want to do. Kenyans will wake up ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Part VII of this Bill says that the power to impose curfew is now no longer with the police force. It is now going to be a preserve of the Executive. It is going to be determined by the Cabinet Secretary and the District Commissioners in your own places. Those are the people who are going to say that there is going to be a curfew. The freedom of media in this particular Bill; Clause 15 says; “A person who publishes, or causes to be published or distributed obscene, gory or offensive materials which is likely to cause fear and ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: (a) exercise control over or interfere with any person engaged in broadcasting, the production or circulation of any publication or the dissemination of information by any medium.” It further says: “The State shall not - (b) penalise any person for any opinion or view or the content of any broadcast, publication or dissemination”, that a person expresses. This law says you will be liable to three years jail and Kshs.1 million fine. It will be a very sad day for our country if this Bill passes. view
