• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to thank the Chair because she is responsive. It is true that there have been concerns. In cases where theft, corruption or large amounts of money are involved, it usually involves many and big people. You start from the National Treasury, where payment processes take place and the money is channelled to other departments. Hon. Kimunya knows this. For them to release huge amounts of money, it is not normally because of a small person. It must have been somebody at the top. view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, the Attorney-General, Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, National Lands Commission and all the other parties involved should be held responsible. They even sometimes put in place measures in order to beat anybody who is trying to block the payment, including EACC and other Government agencies. I would also like to speak on the main Motion at some point. We all appreciate that people who conspire to steal, commit crime or fraudulently acquire...

• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: This one was done when land was being taken away, listed, registered or subdivided. It then moved on to the point of payment being pursued. I would like to give the benefit of the doubt to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission because I strongly feel that if at the first attempt they had wanted to stop payment, someone from Government must have convinced them that there is nothing wrong with that. We need to agree that people conspire at all levels to steal. Because of that, I do not want to take a lot of time on this. Because they ... view
• 27 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: I support the proposed amendment. We should pass it and move on. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to speak. I am not in a hurry. I join my colleagues in strongly congratulating this Committee. It has come up with recommendations which we all support. These Regulations ought to be annulled and rejected so that better ones are developed for use in civil aviation. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: In normal circumstances regulations are expected to give clarity and remove ambiguity where any exists and ensure that there is order in the operations of any industry. Regulations are such an important instrument which must be given good thought at all times. However, it is important to also note that any regulations made must be consistent with the law in force, the enabling Act or Statutory instruments and the Constitution. As clearly pointed out by Members of the Committee, particularly the Mover, you will notice that they are contraventions to the enabling Act and to the Constitution, which should not ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: There is the component of security and safety of the people of Kenya, which has been pointed out. The drones are used by the military and they are quite sophisticated, of course, with the technology that we are moving towards. They fly very high and they even take clear pictures even it if is at night. They have night vision power that they get you wherever you are from very far in the sky. So, these are very powerful instruments which, if are to be used, we must have good regulations when they can be used and for what purpose. ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: come up with regulations for the sugar subsector to ensure that people are not fighting for cane. As things stand now, even if many factories are opened, there is no sugarcane. People have been fighting left and right and going everywhere to steal what is not theirs. A company invests in development of a farm and then another one comes to harvest. This has caused problems in the country. That is why I am commending this Committee’s decision to come up with recommendations that we annul these regulations because they are inconsistent. This is very important and I would like ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have had the privilege of serving in the African Union (AU) when I was the head of the mission in Mogadishu. Some of the experiences we had was the use of drones and they were just then introduced. They had not even been used in Kenya save for a few by the military. There is a lot that the drones can do if not properly controlled, monitored and regulated. I would like to conclude by saying that while we are opposed to the current set of regulations and are, of course, obviously going to annul ... view
