• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think this is not rehabilitative. If we remove this provision, then we are saying that if I am put in for 20 years and I have shown signs of rectification, rehabilitation and improvement, then I am not of any value and I must continue to remain in jail for the entire time. For me, this is a retrogressive proposal and so we must reject it. We must allow the rehabilitation centres; that is, the prisons to be able to evaluate and allow remission of the sentences that have been given by the courts. We must ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: There was a provision that proposed to make amendments to the Advocates Act requiring that any person sitting in the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) should not be allowed to practice. The Commissioners of JSC are not full time commissioners and they do not earn a full time salary. Therefore, to penalize any lawyer that he or she will not be able to have their practising certificate renewed or not allowed to practise, that goes against the economic and human rights of an individual. It also goes to counter the Bill of Rights and that must be rejected. In any case, ... view

• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I will associate myself with many of the comments that have been made by colleagues in support of this Bill. I will start with Clause 24, which talks about the County Wildlife Conservation Committee. There is need to re-think about the process of identifying the four persons; not being public officers, knowledgeable in wildlife matters and nominated by community wildlife associations within the area. The process of electing those people is likely to lose the person with the necessary experience as envisaged by the Bill. I would like the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee to listen to this particular point. ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: and Kshs10 million. We need to isolate wildlife commercial trophy marketers and be mindful of the cultural practices of our communities. Sport hunting needs to be redefined. There are rich people who just come to this country to do sport hunting. Those are different from a young youth killing an antelope, who could be subjected to a fine of Kshs1 million. This must completely be checked because we do not want to approve fines that are out of the reach of common Kenyans. We know that communities are always in conflict with the law. That is very clear in Clause ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Some homes still have wildlife skins; those are trophies. If one is penalized Kshs1 million as a fine, I think that could still be a challenge to most of our people. Even with regard to transportation, people hire vehicles innocently. We are also in the transport business. There are matatus. Somebody is caught with some hidden trophies in his or her luggage. The owner of the matatu is going to be penalized a fine of Kshs10 million. I think that is a big contradiction. It is really not in line with the setting of our Kenyan community. I am looking ... view
