• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not intend to interrupt my senior Counsel and Secretary-General, but I stand under Standing Order No.30 to request for the extension of sitting time, so that the Members on the queue can have ample time to contribute to this debate. I now like the tenor of the debate. It is now almost what we should have actually been debating since the beginning of consideration of this Report. Please, allow my request. view
• 18 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was actually on intervention at five minutes to six and that is why I was trying to catch your eye. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to, first of all, thank Hon. Nyikal for the amendment that he has moved. But even as I thank him and support his amendment, what you have just said is very important. If, as a House, we resolve that the Government makes the necessary structural adjustments, it will simply mean that action should be taken immediately. But this sort of right ought to be sanctioned in a progressive manner. I think one of the things that Hon. Nyikal needs to consider is adding the words “progressively adjusting the structural adjustments”. Otherwise, it ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I am happy for him because he wants to run against Governor Kidero. I am happy to be informed by him. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Sakaja has rightfully informed me. Before I wind up, let me say that, that is the direction we want to take as a House. To come up with Motions that urge the Government to take certain action without action being taken, in terms of questioning the implementation agencies, would be making this House to act in vain. As Members of Parliament, we ought to be using the time of the House in a manner that gives life to the laws that we make as well as give effect efficiently. That is the way ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I have said that I support the amendment, and that I will speak formally to the whole Motion. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: No, I did not. Let me make it very clear, I am happy that Hon. Sakaja was listening to me. I raised the concern that we should not be making resolutions when, as a House, we have various tools for ensuring that our resolutions are implemented. I am happy that he was listening because his Committee is already seized of the matter in a manner that gives it life and effect. Once again, I support the amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is nice seeing you in the New Year on the Chair. I appreciate. This Bill is of great importance to the Parliamentary Caucus on Human Rights that I am a Member of. I am happy that the Member for Ol Jorok, Hon. John Waiganjo and Hon. Ken Okoth, Members of the caucus, are all here. The co-conveners of the Parliamentary Caucus on Human Rights are all here to give support to this Bill. This Bill will help very many Kenyans. I like the definition of the word “indigent” because it simply shows that ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: need, prosecute, and go ahead to make demands for these particular rights. Provisions that will go contrary to Article 25 of the Constitution ought to be deleted. Looking at the definitions of this particular Bill, I have issues with provisions that want to include resolving of disputes using alternative dispute resolutions. The use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in law is in a world of its own. You cannot reduce the work of ADR to the work of a Legal Aid Bill. It is an important inclusion, but the provisions of the inclusions were not properly thought through. The fact ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 14 of the Bill has a very dangerous inclusion. If you allow me, I will read a part which provides that:- “The validity of any proceedings of the Board shall not be affected by a vacancy among its members or by any defect in the appointment of any member or by the fact that the person who was not entitled to do so took part in the proceedings of the Board”. What if the person who is part of the board proceedings is one that tilts the whole discussion of the board? There ought to be a deletion of ... view
