• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Is he up to the challenge? I want to answer the question in the affirmative. He is well versed with the structures of the Office of the DPP and with the needs and challenges that, that office face. He is an advocate of the High Court of Kenya. If you look at his background as an investigator vis-a-vis the Office of the DPP, most of the cases that are handled by the DPP are usually lost at the investigative stage. This means that his background in investigation will come in very handy to ensure that the rate of conviction of ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: As I finish, it is also important to tell the nominee that this is a hot seat. Every case, especially that attracts public limelight, will have to capture the attention of the nation. I saw him answering the questions.

• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Bill.

• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: is very important that we align the Act to the changing legal dynamics in the sense that the Act in question was conceived way back before Independence. The environment is changing. This means that the Act has been left behind. We need to bring it at per with the changing legal dynamics. When I looked at the intended amendments, I realised that it expands the nature of the trustees to include body corporates. There before, only human beings could handle this. The inclusion of a body corporate means that we are expanding the scope and making sure that even body ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I have also seen that the amendments intend to capture the missing persons. What are we talking about? We are saying that if a person has been missing for so long and his whereabouts is not known, we can include his property under the Public Trustee to ensure that the beneficiaries of his estate do not suffer. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I also want to note that the intended amendments want to make sure that the time dimension is also captured. When I was a Public Trustee, cases could go on forever. The beneficiaries would suffer in poverty because the cases were never ending on time. The timetable given upon which property will be distributed ensures that the beneficiaries enjoy the property of the deceased. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Finally, I also want to note that there before the Act never captured the inclusion of people of unsound mind. Much as the intention of the old Act was to handle the property of a deceased person, it has expanded to include people of unsound mind. They are not capable of handling their own affairs. The Public Trustee comes in to handle their property to ensure that their beneficiaries are not swindled their property by other people. It ensures that the property vests very fast to the intended beneficiaries. view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
