• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Maybe I can repeat for him that history has not shown us any positive results where businesses have been Africanised or nationalized. So, if he is giving 61 per cent to nationals, what benefits will that 61 per cent give us? What have foreigners done to investments to show that they are not doing their job properly? Unless he changes it to 51 per cent, I will be opposing this amendment; unless the Chair gives us a valid reason we like indigenization or Kenyanisation of this sector. In any case, history has shown us that Kenyanisation ends up costing Kenyans ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I had to rise because my friend, hon. Langat, hardly ever gets requests for Statements on matters devolution. So, I was a bit surprised that he is reluctant to answer. However, so that I can help my sister, Tiyah, much as I appreciate we are very busy, the National Assembly needs to appreciate Article 95(2) that provides that we need to deliberate and resolve issues of concern to the people. The people of Isiolo are unable to even access the county assembly for purposes of petition. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Jakoyo has not been here for a while and he might not be aware that the Chair for the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade also oversights the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, which also has the Transitional Authority. It is not fair for hon. Tiyah Galgalo, who is brining this question that is of concern to her county, who happens to be a marginalized Member in that county, to be refused the chance to have this National Assembly deal with a matter of concern to the people who brought her here. So, I really want to urge my ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am concerned that hon. Dawood and hon. Mwiru might have contravened the National Cohesion and Integration Act by describing each other in terms of the colour of their skins. If they had said it outside the House the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) would have dealt with. I am just concerned that we are misusing privilege by making racial statements that are against the National Cohesion and Integration Act. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker I beg to oppose this procedural Motion. I think it is the responsibility of this House to urge for time to be extended, especially in the case of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA). I did rise last week and talked about the issue of quality and consistency of the output that we are producing in this House. If the time was to be extended, I would be returning the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Amendment) Bill to the drafters for the purposes of taking a different route to the Bill. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The amendments are so extensive that it would be prudent to ask for a repeal of the current EMCA and come up with a new law instead of the amendment Bill. We need 21 days for public participation and reporting to this House by committees. The 21 days from today will take us to 20th August. That means that we will give the public a maximum of seven days to give us written input. This is a time when the EMCA must comply with the fact that our extractive industry, the oil, gas and mining sector, has not been well ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I really want to plead with the Leader of Majority Party. Let us take the route of extending time, so that we better this Bill rather than shortening the process. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to associate myself with the sentiments that have been raised by hon. Members. They have stated that climate change is a challenge. I want to associate myself with those who appreciate that climate change is a reality and disassociate myself from those who are climate-change deniers. I want to congratulate hon. (Dr.) Otichilo for his resilience. As you are aware, he moved this Bill and it was returned by the former President, His Excellency, hon. Mwai Kibaki on the grounds that the Bill did not receive public participation. view
