• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: would like to inform my brother hon. Wario, that the Cabinet Secretary’s powers in Section 38 to gazette national parks and marine protected areas must always be guided by the provisions of the Environmental Management and Coordination Act of 1999. In doing this, and also in observing the provisions of that particular Act, the Cabinet Secretary must always be guided by public participation in reaching that decision. So, if the decision of the Cabinet Secretary is done contrary to public desire, then it shall be negated. With those few remarks and observations, and especially that the migratory routes shall be ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to speak to this very important Motion. I stand here to support this Motion. I do so for good reasons. We have a situation here where a constitutional Commission, which has been 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
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: given a very clear mandate to perform and a role to play in this Republic of ours--- We have received a petition as Parliament that the members of the Commission have acted outside the mandate they have been given by the Constitution. In legalistic terms this is what is called “ ultra vires” . They say that this is going outside what they have been mandated to do. The ultra vires actions that they have involved themselves in have been clearly set out in this report. I have heard from a couple of my learned friends, who seem to be ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: That particular Commissioner, when he was sitting in the Commission and performing the role of interviewing potential judges for the different positions that we had in the Judiciary, he was very clear and told some of the applicants who appeared before the JSC that they had attained inferior grades and degrees. He told them that they got lower second class degrees which are equivalent to third rate degrees. For that reason, he threw them out of their jobs. So, if there is an allegation that he did not qualify, it is only fair that he is investigated. This is good ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Motion. I will start straightaway from the Constitution of this country which is our primary law. It provides under Article 53(1) that every child has a right to free and compulsory basic education. This Article is further buttressed by Article 55 which states that the State shall take measures including affirmative action programmes to ensure that the youth have access to relevant education and training. In my opinion, this is a Motion that is fairly and squarely within the provisions of our Constitution. This is ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I think this is a good Motion only that we should not urge the Government. We should actually propose that this should happen so that our children can have this education. I support and thank you. view
• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I stand to support this Motion. I will support it for very good reasons. It has been said invariably in many occasions that the next world war shall be fought over water. That allegory is not just a good saying. It is something that will definitely happen. We can see from the Egyptian attitude towards water in the Nile River. You will be aware that the Egyptian people and the British colonizers of Egypt and the East African region from as far back as 1929 saw it ... view

• 30 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: policy must take cognizance of the fact that we are depleting our natural forest cover, which is a key ingredient in the formation of rain, and therefore, accumulation of water in this country. We, therefore, need to be very careful about preservation of waters in this country for the future generation and for the use by our people. view
