• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to start off by congratulating my brother, Mr. Obwocha, for taking a bold step and doing what his predecessors were unable to do, in view of the fact that the issue of statistics at the national level can actually be a stabilising or a politically destabilising factor. Therefore, no wonder that, probably, his predecessors were unable to do what he has done. I congratulate the Minister! 1872 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 5, 2005 I am supporting this Motion because I believe that statistics are very important for planning in terms of resource ... view
• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it leaves me wondering whether Prof. Anyang'-Nyongo', when he was the Minister for Planning and National Development, deliberately gave the impression that those July 5, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1873 constituencies were poor so as for them to access bigger packages of bursary funds and CDF money. I hope the Minister for Planning and National Development, hon. Obwocha, will not engage in a similar kind of deceptive initiative. I am saying that this is factual. If you get to Gem Constituency and Kisumu Rural, which borders Emuhaya Constituency, you will see that there is no difference ... view

• 5 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in view of the fact that this is a very straightforward Bill, to which hon.

• 4 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. I am, however, reminded by the Budget Speech that the broadest objective of the set of taxes that the Minister proposed was to reduce poverty and to address inequality in this country.

This is because when you shift the onus of paying the Sugar Development Levy from the consumer to the farmer the net effect is ... view

• 14 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support these amendments because the time of Parliament is very valuable. There is no reason why what we can achieve now should wait until another hon. Member brings to this House another Motion for us to eventually do what we can. I support these amendments. We should remember that while it is true that it is the leaders who usually come up with the idea for the creation of new districts, when we go back to the people at the grassroots level and they decide where the boundaries and ... view

• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I propose that we amend Clause 9, so that Sections (2)(3) and (4) are deleted and a new clause be inserted, which should read as follows:- "Any person who commits an offence of attempted defilement with a child is liable upon conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than ten years". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if the current Bill sails through as it is, Sections (2), (3) and (4) presume that a rapist who rapes an 11-year-old child commits a greater crime than the one who rapes a 12-year-old child. ... view
