• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving me this chance. view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think debate on this Bill was interrupted when I was on my feet. I had stood and indicated that I was opposed to this Bill. I had also indicated that although I was opposed to it, I had seen some good provisions in it. But the vast majority of the proposed amendments to the various laws that are set out in this Bill have actually forced me to oppose the passing of this Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, speaking on the bad side of the Bill, I have looked at the proposed amendments ... view
• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: It is also good for the agency to compound offences where offenders have admitted their wrongdoing. This is a good one because we know that court processes sometimes take a long time. Where a party has clearly admitted that he has done wrong and is willing to make amends, it is good that the agency should have power to deal with a matter in-house rather than going to court to seek redress; that is a good provision. Another good one, in my opinion, is the proposed amendment to the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) Act, where we are seeking to align ... view

• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you; I generally oppose. view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Motion. At the outset, I would like to oppose this Bill. I oppose it not that it is all bad, but it is my position that if we pass this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill in the status it is in today, we shall actually be allowing some drastic and adverse provisions that will affect our society in the negative. Consistent to that, I would wish to state that this is the classical Bill that we call an oxymoron, in legal parlance. It is an ... view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Constitution holistically. In availing rights to all of us and in defining the same rights, the Constitution has clearly stated that these rights shall only be enjoyed so far as we allow the greater public to enjoy its rights also. If we are going to exercise our rights and insist on our rights in such a way that we shall step on the toes of others and hurt society, then it is all fair that this particular freedom and right is curtailed--- view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to speak to this good proposed Bill. From the outset, I would like to state that I support this Bill for the reason that, for a long time, we have always known that wildlife in this country is part of the goose that lays the golden egg. We must all, as a nation, stand up to conserve wildlife. I have looked at this Bill and I have also listened to the submissions of my brothers and sisters, Members of Parliament. I would like to state that there have been some ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: we have come up with this proposal and said that we shall limit the compensation, particularly for deaths to a maximum of Kshs1 million, is a starting point. This is not to say that I am putting down the concerns of my brothers who have spoken to this clause, but it is a good thing that it is a starting point. Having said that, I have noted that compensation is provided for in Clause 30 of the proposed Bill. At Sub-clause 2, it provides that compensation shall be considered for deaths to a maximum of Kshs1 million. You will also ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Among those roles – and this is going to obviate the concerns that Members have raised – is that the Committee shall undertake educational extension services and public awareness. That is where our people – our fellow Kenyans - will be educated. They will know why they need to conserve wildlife, what value it has to them and have a chance to participate in formulating the policies that will be used in conserving it. I am happy about that. The Committee will develop a mechanism to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, so that the fears we have about the conflict - and ... view
