• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this very important amendment. It is, indeed, in line with Article 118 of the Constitution which talks about public participation. In this case, we are looking at the critical key stakeholders. As it says, it is the shoe wearer who knows where it pinches. So, I totally agree with Hon. Ottichilo that as these regulations are brought in, they should include these critical people; the key providers. view

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this amendment. Allowing private security firms to own guns is opening a Pandora’s Box. Most of the security guards have not gone through any training. Somebody being paid a monthly salary of Kshs5,000 can use that gun to generate more income. We cannot allow that to happen. This is something which has been going on. I call upon Hon. Members to oppose this idea. Kenya is not at war. I heard Hon. Mutura mention war. We already have the disciplined forces who are responsible for our security. If you want ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. It is unfortunate that the unrest has gone up. During retired President Kibaki’s regime, we did not hear a lot of unrest. It is just during the regime of this Jubilee Government that we see a lot of unrest in the universities. I am wondering what is going on. It is very unfortunate. The young people are idling at home. At that age, they are very active in everything. That is why when they stay so much at home, cases of insecurity and pregnancies increase. At that age, you are ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am here on grounds of being in the leadership. The Constitution is very clear. Particularly, when you look at the PFM Act on equity, you will realise that you cannot discriminate along gender. The person who came up with this amendment wants to spoil the mood of the two-thirds gender rule that we want to pass in this House. Let us not set a wrong precedent. I call upon our lady legislators to tread carefully. We are concerned about the two-thirds gender rule. There is no way you can put such a funny ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this was a very important (Amendment) Bill. We are happy to have passed it. As we sit in this House, there is a very serious Bill about the two-thirds gender rule also known as the “Duale Bill.” We, as Members of Parliament, are very committed to ensure that, that Bill is going to pass. We know of many women who are rich. It does not mean that when you are a woman, you do not have money. We have many poor men. I want to give an example of the gracious lady, Hon Wambui Kibaki, the Member ... view
• 21 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I am told her opponent was very rich and she vied twice for the elections and she managed to trounce the opponent. She is a very tough lady and we want women to come up that way. I thank you. view
• 20 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, this Petition is very critical. We have so many other incomplete roads projects, including the road that leads to Kitale, which causes a lot of delays and accidents. When it rains, some parts of the road become impassable. It is, therefore, important to call upon the relevant Departmental Committee to take up the matter with the contractors, so that they can expedite the works. view
