• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I feel Hon. Olago Aluoch because I have worn those shoes before. There is nothing as critical as the NG-CDF to any Member of Parliament and also the affirmative fund. It is the one thing that makes you achieve your pledges to the people. This matter has been seriously noted and although the leadership is not in the House, we have already made arrangements. Hon. Rachael Nyamai is sitting in for us and will note everything. Remember, she also needs NG-CDF in her constituency like yesterday. So, that pressure is from all the Members ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Copyright (Amendment) Bill, 2017 that seeks to amend the Copyright Act, 2001. As you are all aware, we have a new Constitution and it was important that we align the 2001 Act to the new Constitution. I think it is important that we all know what it is that the 2010 Constitution provides for. We all know that the Constitution has one of the most supportive Bill of Rights to the people of this country. Article 11(2) says: “The State shall— (a) promote all forms of ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: (d) encourage public participation in the management, protection and conservation of the environment; (e) protect genetic resources and biological diversity; Having said so, we realise that these particular amendments aim to ensure that the resources that we realise through the provisions that are in this Bill lead to socio-economic development of our people, and that payments such as royalties and others related to it that are paid to the people who create these intellectual property, the publishers or distributors do actually get there. I remember in the last Parliament we had an informal setting that was being driven by Hon. ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank all the Members who have contributed to this Bill. There is no doubt this is a Bill whose time is long overdue. We needed this law like yesterday. I am happy to see that the Members realised the need to protect the creators of intellectual property and the talent that lies within our young people. This is to ensure that the Bill of Rights as stipulated in Article 11 of the Constitution is upheld and we give meaning to the provisions in the Constitution through this legislation. ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Njagua, who have walked that walk and understand what the challenges artists are facing out there. Therefore, we will depend heavily on them to ensure that we strengthen this Bill and make it firmer so that we can give our young people a chance to participate meaningfully in their lives and to realise their full potential. As Hon. John Kiarie mentioned, the future is for the creative mind. Therefore, we have no choice, but to pass this Bill. Let me also thank the relevant Ministry and the Jubilee Government for finding it fit to give this agenda a priority ... view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Building Surveyors Bill 2017 be now read a Second Time. The process of formulating the building surveyors legislation started in 1980s. The draft National Maintenance Policy and draft National Building Regulation was spearheaded by the Ministry of Housing which is currently the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development. It identified the role of building surveyors as being critical to the building environment and further recommended the formulation and enactment of a building surveyors legislation. Consequently, on 26th April 2011, the Ministry formed a committee to spearhead the formulation ... view
