• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: which any person, for example, has parental protection and care, and that is in order. That is in order in terms of what hon. Kaluma is seeking to achieve, but Article 53 (2) is the rider. It tries to give clarification on how then you execute Article 53 (1). That is on the basis of the best interests principle. That is the effect Section 24 of the Children Act, which he proposes to amend or delete, will have. It is simply saying--- view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I also rise on the same Standing Order No.227. It is with regard to a Petition that stood committed to the Lands Committee last August. It was to do with title deeds in the Mau Forest. The Lands Committee went on a trip to the Mau Forest and they were supposed to have given a report on the same. I would like to ask the Committee when the report is going to be presented to the House. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: It was in August last year. That is about 200 days ago. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My point of order was in reference to what my colleague was saying with regard to Clause 6. Is it in order to say that, that clause in his understanding, is ultra vires ? If you read Article 2(6) and 2(5) of the Constitution, international obligations and international rules form part of Kenya’s laws. Therefore, Clauses 6 is actually giving reference to Article 25 and 26 of the Constitution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Articles 2(5) and 2(6) of the Constitution. The general rules of international law shall form part of the laws of Kenya. view
• 19 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really think that Clause 6 is sufficiently very express. It reads, “Subject to the Constitution---”. The drafter of the Bill is trying to ensure that there is a direct concurrence and a reference to the Constitution in terms of how then you have the law superior or not superior. In my understanding and interpretation, there is nothing out of order with Clause 6 of this particular law. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support this particular amendment and appreciate the fact that we need to create order of titles. This is the best we can do in these circumstances. I am in love with the penalties stated because there will be a few people who might not be willing to obey and respect the law. The penalties attached therein are sufficient to create the necessary restrictions. I support. Thank you. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to congratulate hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo for having patience and a clear eye on issues on energy. Last year, he brought the issues of orbital satellite space in parts of the Coast. That has not left my mind because I really thought it was a special thing that most of us were not environmentally aware that such things existed in Kenya. I would want to say a couple of things. The first one is to agree with the hon. Member for Likuyani to the extent that I think that we need to ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In that connection I will try to be very brief so that at least an hon. Member proceeds in the manner that you have proposed. We were in a conversation with hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo and I think he wanted us to proceed that way. Let me be very brief so that we do not waste parliamentary time. I would like to say three things. One, I would like to thank hon. (Eng.) Gumbo who highlighted the reasons why we cannot go the way of nuclear energy. It is expensive, technical and risk averse. He ... view
• 20 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will ensure that time allows my very good colleague, hon. Kisoi, to speak. So, I shall be very brief. These amendments are as progressive as they are retrogressive. On the first part, it is a beautiful amendment because it aligns the Environmental Management and Co- ordination Act (EMCA) to the Constitution. That is a good part. The other part is that which does take into consideration issues of county governments. Those are very good thoughts to put in place in terms of effecting an amendment. The best part is with regard to Clause ... view
