• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the amendment, but I would like the Chairman to clarify the matter on (v), where they are saying: “one representative from the National Council of Persons with Disabilities”. I am sure you are aware that we also have other public funded associations which cater for the disabled. How come you picked on this one? For the Public Benefits Organisations, it is general that they must sit and agree on one, but in (v), what happened that you had to pick that one? I need clarification on that. The electronic version of ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. With all due respect to the Member, he has very good intentions and we support him. But I want to agree with my colleague, hon. Gichigi, with whom we are Members of the same Committee, that what is in the original Bill, the additional Clause 6(a), came to the Budget and Appropriations Committee and we agreed with it. But what is being proposed is the additional 2, which we are seeing here now. This was never discussed by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. That one I can confirm. But the 6(a) was discussed and approved. ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would want to agree with what hon. Ichung’wah is saying, if you can allow us to adjourn this debate. It is important that this issue goes through the Budget and Appropriations Committee. Otherwise, the whole intention is very good. I come from a region where sorghum and millet are grown, just to support this, and our farmers will benefit. If it goes through the process the way it should go, I am sure we will support this amendment. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. With regard to the Public Service and the Public Service Commission, I agree with the issue of training, but what is the difference between the two? Could the Mover, please, explain the difference? I do not see why we need to change it. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. When you look at Clause 11--- view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The focus is on public participation and involvement. What this clause is trying to do is ensure that as you conduct public participation and involvement, elected leaders are involved for purposes of mobilization. Even if you are elected by whoever, it means you can mobilize. I think that is the whole purpose. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, I am supporting. I am saying it is important we have elected leaders. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have heard what the Leader of Majority Party has said. If he withdraws, we go to what was there originally. In what is written here, already the county public service boards and the county assembly service boards are part of this Bill. So, what will happen? view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, for giving me this chance to add my voice to this Motion. Even though the Report has come late in terms of dates, in terms of timeliness I think it has come at the right time. This country is facing a lot of insecurity. Before I make my contribution I want to send my condolences to the families that lost their loved ones in Mandera and other areas that have experienced insecurity. Reading through the Report of the President and listening to the hon. Members debate it, it is very clear in my mind that we know where ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: corruption, incomplete police reforms and all these many good terminologies. However, a time has come when as a country we need to move from problems to solutions. As a Kenyan, I think what Kenyans would want to see and hear is that wherever they are in this country, they are secure. Kenyans want to feel secure, whether in their houses, streets, buses, churches and everywhere else. Unfortunately, if you talk to any Kenyan today, they are actually very insecure. If you look at what is happening, for instance the issue of stripping women in this country, this is the highest ... view
