• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you, hon. Chairlady. While I really support this new clause in terms of the intentions, it might cause challenges in terms of implementation. What it is proposing to do is to make sure that those institutions have people who can assist persons with disability and, more so, the deaf and the blind ones. However, the question is this: Is this calling for a situation where those institutions will be forced to employ those people for them to offer that service? For instance, the second part of the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 11 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: amendment is saying that you can have a centralized place for an institution where those services are provided. However, if I am based in Lamu and I want to go to a bank whose centralized branch is in Nairobi, does it mean that I will have to incur transport costs to come to Nairobi? We would really need to be a bit more careful with this clause in terms of implementation. Otherwise, we will have a law which may be very tricky to implement. That would be my observation. Thank you, hon. Chairlady. view
• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the amendments but I want to give a rider. The definition of “disadvantaged group” could cause challenges in implementation. This is one of the areas we need to be very careful when it comes to implementation. It could easily be misused. I just want to go on record on that; that the way they define “disadvantaged groups” could cause confusion and make implementation very difficult. view

• 5 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I will take a very short time view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also support this Motion by hon. Wangamati. Its object is to appreciate the fact that many Kenyans were involved in the Mau Mau Movement and the compensation which has been agreed is only targeting a small number. We all agree that very many people were involved in the Mau Mau Movement in this country. In Kitui Central Constituency, we have a group that calls itself Mau Mau, which has 38 members who actively participated in the Movement. They are quite elderly and you can see from their faces the level to which ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to add my voice to debate on this important piece of legislation. This Bill is very important to this country, and it is also one of the Bills which the Constitution requires to be cleared by a specified date. It is important because it is supposed to provide the legal framework for effective and efficient implementation of procurement and disposal of our assets. Procurement in this country has been associated with a number of challenges. One of them is inefficiency where the Kenyan public does not get value for money in ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: process. These delays have led to very low absorption rates of the budget, and serious challenges in budget implementation. The third one is the high level of corruption associated with procurement processes. What has, therefore, happened over time is having a lot of resources leaking out of the Treasury as a result of procurement. When I was reading through this Bill, I was trying to analyse and see how and to what extent this Bill will help this country address some of these challenges. There are some clauses in this Bill which are very important, and are going to go ... view
