• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was listening to the debate. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: The current Sustainable Development Goal No.7 talks about global partnership. A State cannot be in global partnership without looking at the issue of international obligation. It is very important. It helps in coexistence. Issues of climate change and terrorism should be incorporated in the treaties for purposes of peaceful co-existence. view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Sustainable Development Goad No.16 is on access to justice. This is reference, for instance, to the Rome Statute, which brought about the International Criminal Court (ICC) case. It has helped so much in this country as far as the issue of deterrence is concerned. It is important for African countries to re-look at the Rome Statute. We should not withdraw from the Rome Statute because the situation in Africa can become chaotic. The trend of African leaders, like the ones in our neighbourhood, namely Uganda and Rwanda, is to cling to power. We should continue being signatories to the Rome ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Hon. Deputy Speaker. I seek your direction. We are debating a mediated version of the Bill. In our Standing Orders, it is very clear that when we are debating a mediated version of a Bill, we are supposed to contain ourselves to that particular aspect of the mediated Bill. Listening to Members in their contributions, it seems that maybe they are misunderstanding. Please, give direction, so that when a speaker rises to speak, he or she speaks concerning that particular aspect that was being mediated. We are losing The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: direction. The issue was about offices, but I now hear the Member for Chuka/Igambang’ombe talking of different things and my friend, Hon. Maanzo, talking of things which were supposed to have been done during the Second Reading. So, we need your direction on that, so that we can be specific on the mediated part of the Bill. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of the Bill and thank Hon. Chachu Ganya for this wonderful Bill. The bone of contention was whether the drought management offices should be located in each of the 47 counties or in the drought-prone counties. That was the critical issue. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Report of the Mediation Committee because as much as we have devolved units, this has to do with all the 47 counties. However, because of climate change, some counties, which were previously not prone to drought, have cases of drought today. I agree with the mediated version of the Bill. It is critical because we already have areas like Mandera, Turkana and Marsabit. If you do a trend analysis, you will find that year in, year out those counties are hit by drought. Therefore, it is, indeed, important for those counties to have drought management offices. However, ... view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I am requesting Members to move with speed and approve this Motion, so that offices can only be established in drought-prone areas. For regions that are not prone to drought, offices can be considered on need basis because of the climatic change phenomenon. view
