• 15 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: At that time, it was agreed that although we had a very good Constitution, there were some areas that needed to be improved. This Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) (No.3) Bill is one such important one. I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for the good work they have done to ensure that this piece of legislation comes before the House. As we make our comments on this Bill, I want to urge that there are other constitutional Bills, including the ones that have timelines, which are necessary, yet are pending up to now. They should ... view
• 15 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: As I support this constitutional Bill, I urge my colleagues in their respective Committees which have some pending Bills or legislations that are required for the full implementation of the Constitution, to deal with them, so that we can move on. Our country needs to enact laws which will ensure the full implementation of the Constitution. At the same time, we do not want to remain in suspense with provisions which cannot be implemented because there is no enabling legislative framework. I support this constitutional Bill and call on colleagues to support it. We should also bring other legislations which ... view

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: If it is an orphan who is an indisciplined child, then it deserves to be one. That is the child that wants to kill the father.

• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make my contribution. Going on recess will give us the opportunity to go back to our constituencies and talk to our people. We will also get to see our projects and prepare ourselves for the future. Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for facilitating the piece of legislation I introduced as a Private Member. It was difficult and you understand the circumstances that the Bill went through. I also want to thank Members who supported that Bill and His Excellency, the President for assenting to it. I know it ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Bungoma Airstrip is also in western region, but the Petition by Hon. Shinali brings out a very important issue. The airstrips were established strategically in parts of Kenya. Kakamega Airstrip was well thought out to facilitate communication within the country. There is no functional airstrip in western Kenya today except Kisumu Airport. The airstrips in Kakamega, Bungoma and Busia are not functional. Some fellows had attempted to grab the land meant for Bungoma Airstrip. I had to step in to make sure that the land was not stolen. I support the Petition and appeal ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this important Bill. It is important for us to remind ourselves the main objective of this Bill, which is to ensure the amendment of a clause in Act No.18 of 2013.

• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: commencement date: That the CS has the power, in accordance with the law, to determine on which date the law will be operationalised. This must be a lesson to us Members of Parliament that when we are passing a law, let us be mindful of clauses which will make it difficult for the law to be operationalised. You can imagine this Act was passed in 2013 and to date, it has not been operationalised. What makes it difficult for the CS to publish in the Kenya Gazette that the law is operationalised? It is for this reason that I feel ... view
• 10 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I contribute on this important Bill, last week, I had cases where members of the civil society were struggling with the administration in Western region, particularly those responsible for human rights activities. They were looking at some issues which affect Wananchi. They have taken the responsibility to do some small issues we cannot do ourselves and help our people. There is every reason for the operationalization of this Act. Therefore, we should not just pass this Bill, but appeal to the authorities to have it assented to and ensure that the Public Benefits Organisation (PBO) ... view
