• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We say that we must give to Caesar what belongs to him, and that is why we must pay taxes. In the past it has been possible for the tax commissioners not to respect the taxpayers. With this tribunal in place, it will be possible for taxpayers to get justice out of disputes. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry, I had gone to make useful consultations with hon. Jamleck Kamau due to his long experience as a Cabinet Minister in the former regime of hon. Mwai Kibaki. I rise to support this Bill. From the outset, I want to relate to the sentiments of my good friend, hon. Langat, that, indeed, if we are talking about independence, it must be seen to be independent; it must be independent and not just in writing. I truly share the sentiments that if we have a board where a good number of the members are ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The object of this Bill is to have an authority that is free of any political, Government or even commercial interests control. Therefore, if you load the board with many Principal Secretaries, we may lose that independence. I would also implore the Committee to look at ways of amending that to ensure that there will be real independence of this authority. I also support this Bill for one particular reason, which is in relation to the freedom of the media. Indeed, the media ought to be free; but as has been said, I wish to repeat that freedom also comes ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: touches on both creating an environment for freedom and also regulating the media to create some sense of responsibility is a move in the right direction. It is not lost to many Kenyans that, indeed, many of our media houses, more so during the post election violence in the late 2007 and early 2008--- It was unfortunate that a number of our media houses greatly contributed to the escalation of violence by clearly inciting people through the broadcasts. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that the existing Communications Commission of Kenya has had no teeth to bite; we will get an authority that can regulate broadcast content in this country and one that can take action against media houses that not only broadcast content that is inciting to the members of the public, but also content that is also not good for our children; this will be a step in the right direction. I do not have much on this Bill. I am not an expert in broadcast matters, but I am a strong advocate of freedom, not just of expression ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was really perturbed by my good friend, the Leader of Majority Party, for purporting that the House is empty yet we are all here. As much as I am also disturbed that the House gets empty when such technical business comes up, it is good for hon. A.B. Duale to appreciate that hon. Members are present. Truly, there are hon. Members present and the House is not empty. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg for your protection from hon. Kang’ata. I am not a dramatic student like him, so I will not engage him in the shouting match of whether I am CORD or Jubilee. He should know that I am Jubilee to the core, and that is why I will not even entertain anybody trying to invoke the name of His Excellency the President in this debate. I will not entertain any thought that can reduce this important debate that touches on the lives of our children or reduce it to a debate to ... view
