• 13 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am referring to a statement made by my boss. By 8th August, 2017, 75 per cent of us will be former MPs. So, let us support this Petition so that the welfare of Members who will be outside can be catered for. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to join my colleagues in passing my condolences to the family, friends and people of West Pokot for the great loss of one Hon. Litole. Hon. Litole, who was my former colleague in the Provincial Administration, served in Mwingi, Siaya and Trans Mara districts. He was a dedicated civil servant. He was very devoted 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
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: and served this country with distinction. He will be hugely missed by his relatives. I am one of his relatives. He was a great civil servant. Having been a Member of Parliament for one term, a member of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and also served as college commandant of the Kenya Administration Police, we will hugely miss him. I want to say pole to the people of West Pokot, Sigor and the entire family of the late Hon. Litole. May he rest in peace. view
• 4 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a sorry state of affair. It looks like there is a bigger scheme to bring down KQ like it has been done in other countries. There are many airlines which have collapsed. If this airline collapses, it is going to be a big shame to this country and even to the leadership of this country and Parliament. We must have a strategy of saving KQ. We must review and renegotiate the MoU. We must do that as a matter of priority. I know it has to be done professionally. I know this was done ... view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we welcome this Petition. We are going to give it due justice that it deserves. However, I want some clarifications from Hon. Mwaura. I want him to tell us - and I think I share the same thought with the Leader of the Majority Party - where those people are residing. That is because I have only heard of Audrey from Kenya and Semenya from South Africa. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I hear that the issue has been resolved. We also wanted the Member to also clarify to the House whether persons with that kind of disability are recognised in the African, Christian or Islam set ups. I agree that Article 27(4) and (5) recognises that no Kenyan should be discriminated against on the basis of sex, religion, race, pregnancy, marital status, health status, ethnic or social origin, colour, age and disability, among others. Therefore, we welcome the Petition and we will do justice to it. view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker for granting me the opportunity to support this Motion. I want to start by saying that betting has become a craze in this country. If you go round, you will find very young children using their phones to bet. As a country, those are not values we should inculcate in our children. The culture of betting and gambling is very bad for small children. The first time I attended an economics class, I was told there are four factors of production. They are land, capital, labour and entrepreneurship. If those factors are not combined, ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this Motion has come at the right time. The gravity of betting in this country is no longer tolerable. I want us to support this Committee so that it can start its work very soon. Of course, you all know that the Betting Control Board is under the purview of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. But, as you all know, this cuts across many Committees such as Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade, Departmental Committee on Justice The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: and Legal Affairs and Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. So, it is not possible to have more than 120 Members in one select committee handling this issue. We should consider benchmarking with other countries that have better policies on lottery, betting and gambling. Those are countries like the US, Britain and the Nordic countries. Let us benchmark and get the best rules and policies to govern this industry. We should recommend that those people should pay high taxes to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) because they are making a lot of money so that Kenyans can get more ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: and mCHEZA are. That has to be established. From the security perspective, we do not want to encourage money laundering. If regulations are not in place, some players can be tempted to practise money laundering and you can have money for terrorism entering this industry and even drug money. We must control so that criminals do not hide in this industry. Generally, I call upon the House because we are all in agreement that this industry is almost destroying our children, to act. So, let us in one accord support so that this Committee can start working. I see my ... view
