• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am saying this because people are now delving into other issues instead of sticking to Hon. Olago’s matter. It will be important to first dispose of Hon. Olago’s amendment. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: No, Hon. Speaker. view
• 16 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I come from Laikipia East Constituency, which has a large population of settlers who were formerly nationals of Britain and who may also form part of this territorial force. I am in support of the Bill that seeks to repeal the Kenya Regiment Act. Kenya being an independent State, we do not need nationals of another country to form a territorial force. If, indeed, there is need to form a territorial force, we have a great reserve of our retired soldiers who would form it. We must reinstate our Independence and sovereignty. We should not seem ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to one of the most important Bills that the 11th Parliament is going to pass, namely, the Bribery Bill. Bribery is synonymous to corruption because it leads to corruption. As mentioned by other speakers before me, for bribery and corruption to take place, there must be a giver and taker. There has been a general belief that most corruption, and by extension bribery, takes place in the public sector. However, those who have been driving the forces of corruption are in the private sector. These ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: There is also bribery in the education sector. Lecturers are not very keen on looking at examination scripts. So, we end up with pseudo academicians. This has very serious effects on education. There is also a problem in the transport sector. Some of the accidents that happen on our roads every day happen because traffic police officers do not enforce compliance to traffic rules. In the long run, you find that big vehicles are overloaded and matatus carry excess passengers. The result is suffering and deaths on our roads. We want to say “no” to corruption. The 9th, 10th and ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We need to introduce a raft of amendments to this Bill in order to catch the aspirations and expectations of Kenyans. Kenyans who are watching us deliberating this Bill are saying that this is a very important Bill. It should shed light on the operations of NGOs, certain lawyers and insurance companies, who engage in corruption. The CS, in whose docket this Bill is domiciled, should enforce the law to ensure that NGOs, lawyers, insurance companies and casinos make full disclosures of their financial statements. There are sagas in the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Does it mean that we ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Prosecutions, the Director of Criminal Investigation (CID) Department and the EACC, which needs to be rebranded, to pull up their socks and ensure that we fight corruption. Unless we fight corruption, this country will not move anywhere. We miss the fight against corruption because of lack of implementation. Even students in school do not want to work hard. They want to be given examination leakages, so that they can get clean “As”. They are admitted in university to pursue Medicine courses, but because they do not have what it takes to pursue such courses, they do so for the first ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Gikaria has come in late. He is trying to catch up with the proceedings in Parliament. We fail in the implementation of laws that have been passed by this House to fight corruption. We are calling upon the various Government agencies including the EACC, the DPP and the Director, CID, to implement most of the provisions that Parliament passes. view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. I ask Hon. Members to endorse it. view
