• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Whereas I respect Hon. Gethenji, ordinarily, what he is trying to attain with the new Clause 3A is what ought to have been in the short title of the Bill. He is trying to give effect to the convention of Anti- personnel mines but he is trying to do that in the body of the Bill. Whereas the short title speaks to what the Bill seeks to achieve, it also speaks to many other things which have nothing to do with giving effect to the conventions. So, to make it tidy, you ought to ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the proposal by the Chairperson of the Committee. I am also looking at the proposals on the same amendment by Hon. Millie, without anticipating debate. Unless she persuades me, I think that the two amendments read word for word. As I support this particular amendment… view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Millie needs to show me what aspects are different. I have read the various clauses on what she proposes to amend and what the Hon. Chair is proposing to amend, and I do not see any visible differences. I may not literally be a fishmonger but she may persuade me and I may help her in defeating the Committee’s amendment. view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Report. There is not much to do with this because it is fairly procedural. Even if I did not like the content of the Report, there is not much we can do because of the way the Mediation Committee is structured. The Mediation Committee, although envisaged in the Constitution, should be used sparingly. We should not send everything else to the Mediation Committee. We should not differ over the composition of boards. The import and the thought of the Constitution on mediation issues is that, there should have ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I think the Report of the Mediation Committee is very good. I like the fact that they are talking about the inclusion of the Director of Veterinary Services. This is because, if at all you are going to talk about animals and foodstuff, there ought to be people with expertise on animal stuff and agricultural issues. It is very interesting that someone, in the drafting stage, included the Attorney-General, as a member of the Board. I think he is very busy and there is a lot for him to do as opposed to ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: fertilizers ought to be provided and farmers trained so that we get the sufficient yields that we require as a country. With those comments, I support this Mediation Report. I thank you. view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Listening to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, Hon. Kamama, I would like to support the adoption of this Sessional Paper. However, I think that it needs review even before we adopt it. Like he said, it is long overdue. It has been developed over time. Some of the things it speaks to do not respond to the current Kenyan conflict scenario. So, even before we adopt it, there ought to be a thought in terms of how to review it. The forward of this particular policy paper is ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I highlighted the causal issues of conflict which are poor governance, poverty and competition. To have a mission that says you are going to have a collaborative institutional approach, that does not address the conflict issues. It does not adequately respond because that window dresses the issues of conflict. We need to be looking at issues such as poor governance, iniquities, the competition for scarce resources and how this policy particularly responds to that. I am getting worried because these five minutes are never enough. Lastly, even the legislative framework that they propose in the policy does not address the ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I would like to support the amendment as proposed by the Chairman for the reasons that he has raised. It is fairly difficult to refer to specific sections of a particular Bill. That is an orderly proposal. I support. Thank you. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I know in the Third Reading, I am supposed to be very brief. I would like to congratulate the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for successfully moving the Insolvency Bill and the Companies Bill, at the same time. When we were trying to do this as a Committee, we thought it was pretty dangerous to move two Bills at the same time. This is because there was cross- referencing. I think we have pulled it well. I am happy we have passed the Companies Bill and the Insolvency Bill ... view
