• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: It is addressed to Hon. Fred Matiang’i, the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Information. This is what the Attorney-General is saying in one paragraph. I am going to table this for your scrutiny. The Attorney-General is saying:- “It is important to note that Parliament is vested with the constitutional mandate of developing legislation which includes Government-sponsored Bills as well as Private Members’ Bills. Consequently, Parliament has developed the necessary legal resources to prepare Bills and amendments to legislation for purposes of enacting laws.” More importantly, the Attorney-General says:- “We wish to categorically state without contradiction that the Office of ... view

• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party, you are my friend. I always give you time. I do not know what is troubling you. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am going to table both letters, one from the Cabinet Secretary and the other which is a response. The Attorney- General is saying that those amendments are also an overhaul of the entire Act. While this is so, there are proposed amendments to the enabling Act.

We do not want one player in the industry to dominate the others. Once the generalised regulator gets power, even if you want to have it for consultation, why consult yet this is a constitutional body?

• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to make my remarks on the Health Bill. From the outset, I support this Bill on two very important grounds. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was saying that I support this Bill for two important reasons. One, there is going to be harmonisation of development in technology that can positively contribute to the healthcare services while curbing negative development. The national health policy shall also be formulated, implemented and coordinated between the two levels of Government. This is critical for us because of the challenges that we are experiencing at the moment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
