• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This afternoon, while pursuing a mortgage, I was told that there is even a new rule a head of the Bill that says that before you transfer property, you might need the consent of the spouse. I think they are one step ahead and men will be in trouble. The other time we looked at the Matrimonial Property Bill and I do not know whether those who are applying those rules are following any law because as much as I can remember, there was The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: no place for such consent unless it was matrimonial property which was clearly defined. So, these gray areas need clarity. Enforcers of law should also not be overzealous. view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this particular Bill more importantly because of raising the age of consent or what is commonly referred to as the marriageable age. I support this particular provision especially because of the girls. Many of them have found themselves in marriage having not even tried to exploit their potential in life. In this age and time when we talk about the potential of any human being, it has to do a lot with the kind of education that they get. Many of the girls who are married at the age of 13 ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: we come from they are being battered day in, day out. So, it is not a one sided thing. Even when we talked about matrimonial property there was a lot of emphasis on the wives and so on. If you have accumulated wealth together, I know this is not Matrimonial Property Bill, if the wife has equal share, the man should equally have an equal share. He should be treated equally in law. We also see provisions on refusal to honor promises. I do not know how much value a promissory note has--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to extend good wishes to you and all the Members of this House. I would also like to thank all those who sent me goodwill wishes when I had an accident earlier on in the year. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Motion, knowing the potential that the youth have. Despite all this potential, we have seen the youth becoming hopeless not because they do not have the ability but because they have not been accorded the opportunity. I have had time to see some youth excel. This year, I had a couple of very young people who came up with an idea of doing a calendar for me. They did not have the capital but they had the brilliance. Although I was not prepared to do the calendar, out of their sheer determination, I decided ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: That is just an example of what the youth can do. They have been disadvantaged throughout time because they are not well connected. Those who have been in the systems wanted to maintain the status quo . They wanted to continue making gains out of the systems that are there – the systems that respect so much the status quo . When we talk about such matters, we should not forget the fact that while the procurement process does not favour the youth, it is more often corrupted. That is why we always talk about the standard gauge railway, which ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Today we have the issue of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), amongst others. These are issues we need to address so that procurement can be done properly for the benefit of Kenyans generally. Look at the opportunities that we create every day, there is also a section of people who are being sidelined. These are the men. We talk of the youth and the women all the time. I tend to wonder whether men have ceased to exist. Looking at the Uwezo Fund, you find that most of the people in the boda boda industry have probably surpassed the ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: we have the British Army. More often, the British Army gives tenders to people from outside our area. They employ Kenyans alright but we should have the first priority in terms of benefiting from what goes on in that area. When it comes to procurement, tenders are given to people from outside. Even garbage collection is still being done by some old people when the youth could easily carry out that task. I do not think it requires any genius to collect garbage. It does not require quantum physics to do so. So, such opportunities that can easily be taken ... view
