• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank Members. It is unusual to find Members contributing on a Bill eloquently and in big numbers on the first day after a long recess. I deliberately decided that today we will not request a closure Motion pursuant to Standing Order No.95, to allow as many Members as possible to express their views on the Persons with Disabilities Bill. Persons with disabilities are a significant portion of our society that often feel marginalised. When we have an opportunity The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: to discuss their matters, it is important we give them the attention they deserve. I want to thank Members who have taken time to debate this Bill over the last two hours. I want to assure Members that it is my desire that we get all the amendments to this Bill within the week so that anytime from next week, depending on how we proceed with other pending matters in the House, we move to Committee of the whole House stage of this Bill to finalise it and have it go through the other processes for assent. The Member for ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Military Veterans Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 4 of 2022) be now read a Second Time. I am happy that we published this Bill on 1st February and now we are in May debating it. That shows urgency and that this Bill matters much as it took a long time to come. It is urgent and important that we thought we needed to clear it before the 12th Parliament goes for recess. This Bill seeks to establish a regulatory and institutional framework for management of military veterans and the affairs ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, a 'military veteran' in Part II of the Bill and basically Clause 6, is very specific in terms of definition. For avoidance of doubt, this is anyone who has served in the Kenya Defence Forces, anyone who became a member of the Kenya Armed Forces between 1963 and 2010 when the Kenya Armed Forces was changed to the Kenya Defence Forces. There are also those who served in the Kings African Rifles, as it was called before 1963. They completed service in the Armed Forces or the Kenya Defence Forces and currently receive pension from either the Armed ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: The typical thing that every Kenyan thinks of is that since he or she has left the military, and since it was a security operation, he or she should, therefore, start a security company. By the time they go to even try and market that company, they will realise that it is not as easy as they thought. So, this advice on business opportunities and what to do are some of the things that need to be done. You would imagine that President Uhuru Kenyatta went to a military academy. This is because he has had a lot of attachment ... view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: those who cannot speak for themselves or who cannot get into trade unions to demand such protection. We should take this opportunity to support our men and women in uniform when they become veterans. They ensure our security during their time in service. With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move and ask the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations, Hon. Tong’i, to second. view
• 10 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Again, I am a very excited person today because even as Hon. Ali Rasso was making his contribution, he reminded me of my own connections to the military. He talked of a ship that was destroyed in 1942 and I know that on 12th February 1944, a ship sailed from Mombasa to Maldives on the way to Colombo, Sri Lanka. This ship was carrying 1,511 passengers on board including about 1,000 Africans who had just been taken from the Kings African Rifles. The ship was called the Khedive Ismail. This ship was torpedoed by ... view

• 27 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker. I beg to move the following Exceptional Motion: THAT, following the Presidential Proclamation of 22nd April, 2022 regarding the passing on of His Excellency Emilio Mwai Kibaki, CGH, the Third President of the Republic of Kenya, the tributes of this House be recorded in special honour of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
