Inhuman and degrading treatment contrary to Article 28 of the Constitution; I am sure very many hon.Members in this House have seen the issues that most of their constituents have faced. On treatment in a cruel, inhuman and degrading manner contrary to Article 29 of the Constitution and confiscation of travel documents contrary to Article 12 of the Constitution, we know that many of the people who are trafficked out of this country give their documents to agents and people who take them out of ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and acknowledge that it is about time that we had this Bill to regulate those involved in the security industry. Any financial instrument or any person dealing with services to the public that deal with funds should definitely be in a regulated industry. This is because we are dealing with a very complex and very sensitive area that is securities and investments in this country. If we look at the growth and the rate at which Kenya is growing currently, it is important that we rise to the ... view
• 21 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: currently available, we will realize that these particular people who will be regulated in this particular Bill will not only advise the Cabinet Secretaries involved in creating financial instruments in this country to ensure that we have the level of investments that are required and to ensure that we develop our country and meet the Vision 2030 goals that are currently being established, but will also be able to securitize and ensure that the financial instruments that we create will be able to position anybody participating in that particular industry to meet the necessary requirements. The issue of quacks in ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Chairman. I rise to support that inclusion. As recent as yesterday, I retrieved the body of one of my constituents, a domestic worker; who had been strangled in Saudi Arabia.

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The victim is late and there is no way we will be able to follow up and ensure that she has a lawyer who would provide for her young child. But if we take a look at this case, in terms of personal injury, cost of transport of the body back The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: to the country---- The employer had been missing in action, given that she was head of security in Saudi Arabia. The body had been there for two years and we were not able to retrieve it. Therefore, I am hoping with this particular amendment, we will make a provision to follow up and ensure that the victim is compensated as well as her family. That is because no wages have been received for that particular victim and yet, for the last two years, her body has been lying in a mortuary in Saudi Arabia. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First, I would like to thank hon. Millie Odhiambo for bringing the Bill. It is timely and long overdue. I support the Bill because it addresses a very key issue pertaining to women in this country. Most of the victims of abuse, who need protection, are mainly women. They are the victims of rape. They are victims of disinheritance when their husbands pass on. Young schools girls are sexually abused by their teachers. This particular Bill seeks to protect the dignity of such victims ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: children have been left without husbands and fathers. Somebody would then make such a careless statement when those victims have no way of answering to those questions. I am very glad that hon. Millie Odhiambo has introduced this Bill to this House because all Kenyans are entitled to live anywhere in this country. They are entitled to justice and protection. When I spoke to hon. Millie Odhiambo about this Bill, it was in particular to some rape cases that happened in Kabete and Kikuyu. The perpetrators had raped schools girls. They were out on bail, and they would go and ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak on this Bill. I rise to support the Motion. When we look at the steel industry in Kenya, Kenya is one of the largest exporters of steel to South Korea. We do not produce steel, but we export it. If we are going to protect our industries - which is very critical for a nation like ours that is growing - to develop a strong economic industry that will create jobs for our youth and the women in this country generally, it is important that we have ... view
