• 24 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: These are very short amendments. The object of this Bill is to amend Section 6 of the National Honours Act, No.11 of 2013. It is to include the Senate’s Leader of the Majority Party and the Senate’s Leader of the Minority Party Bill in the membership of Parliamentary Honours Advisory Committee so as to ensure equitable representation of both Houses of Parliament in the Committee. The Bill neither delegates legislative powers nor limits fundamental rights and freedoms. So, I call upon Members to support this amendment because the Bill concerns county governments in terms of Article 110(1)(a) of the Constitution ... view

• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with all due respect to my friend, the Member for Ugunja, is he really in order to refer to the President of South Sudan as “this guy called Salva Kiir?” Let us just give him the respect he deserves. He should refer to him as “His Excellency President Salva Kirr Mayardit.” view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for granting me the opportunity to ventilate and say something about this Bill. This is a very comprehensive Bill authored by my good friend, Hon. Neto. As a Committee, we have done a lot with him to ensure that a lot of panel beating is done to this Bill. Like other Members, I support the repeal of the Refugee Act (Cap.173) because we have made provisions that have been incorporated. It is all in line with the Refugee Convention of 1951, the OAU Convention and the Refugee Protocol of 1967. All these have been ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: radicalised, so that they can live in peace. Right now, Kenya has a lot of problems because of refugees. I support the idea of giving them some access to facilities, especially education and employment, but not on the issue of land. Part V provides that if they have access to land, they should not have power to sell or alienate it. I support that. I support the provision that gives powers to the commission in consultation with the CS, although we have ventilated on this issue with Hon. Neto. I support the issue of integration, but it must be done ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should support this Bill. I know quite a number of Members will come up with amendments to deal with some of the sections. My message to refugees - because I know some of them in Dadaab and Kakuma listen – is that when they come to Kenya, they must behave, and promote peace and tranquility. They will get food, education and medicine from the UNHCR and even marry here, but they must maintain peace, law and order while they are in Kenya. We can tolerate them up to some level. Tolerating has some elasticity. We ... view
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I am just about to conclude. 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
• 23 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I am becoming a bit tough because I know the magnitude and scope of the challenges that we are facing because of refugees. Right now in Turkey, there are about 2.5 million refugees. It is not easy. They are also facing a lot of problems. I support the refugees fund and it will go a long way to get funds to assist these people. Lastly, refugees especially those who ran away from Uganda in the 1980s did a commendable job. I commend those teachers and doctors who came and assisted us here. I was taught by Soedi Kiumia, a Literature ... view
