• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: proposed that we give one to five per cent of the total compensation. If it is less than 10 degrees from the focal point, it is proposed that we give five to 15 per cent as per the schedule. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to go through the schedule because it is actually in the Bill itself. I want Members to refer to it, but I want to say that this is an attempt to reduce subjectivity in terms of when we are compensating people in the course of accidents.

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to donate one minute to hon. Ichung’wah and then I spend another one minute to reply. view

• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as a matter of procedure, we have already had an amendment by the Member for Rangwe, hon. Mwaura and now I am hearing hon. Angwenyi. I think we should dispose each one first. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Generally, hon. Members, let us support the amendment by hon. Jakoyo except that I have an issue when you say “female”. However, let us support the amendment by hon. Jakoyo. You are already appointing five Members on the minimum. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to support the Committee in the amendment. We should be careful, so that we do not bring controversy. Even in the CDF, it is very clear that we do not fund any religious association. As a House, let us leave this to be strictly business because we are about business. If it is about religion, it is about prayers and your soul. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want the House to know this. I know this thing of dividing this money equally among the constituencies is very popular. view
