• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: roles of the National Assembly and the Senate is because when we allocate funds, we must look at what the Constitution envisages that these Houses should do. Article 95 sets out that the National Assembly has an oversight role over all the revenues that are set out as national revenues. The Senate is only mandated under Article 96(3) to oversee such funds that have been drawn out of the national revenues and have been allocated to the county governments. When you look at the law as it is, the National Assembly, where we sit today, has a role to oversee ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I support. People who are looking for these jobs should have basic training. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment although I am a little worried. When police officers are exercising the power of arrest, they are allowed to use some reasonable force. That force is at times necessary when effecting arrest. In this, we are hobbling up these officers or the people we are giving powers of arrest with limitation on fundamental rights. We are giving on one hand and taking on the other. However, the principle is well supported. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: It is just housekeeping, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Mine is about the ordering of the sub-sections in this clause. We have Sub-clause (3) which talks about the rules and regulations that the Minister may set out. We also have Sub-clause (4) which provides that anybody who contravenes or commits an offence may be subjected to conviction and penalties. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The proper reading of this section would be that if the Minister were to fail to do the matters that are prescribed under Sub-clause (3) then he would be subject to the penalties and conviction that is prescribed under Sub-clause (4). So, the proper thing would, probably, be Sub- clause (4) to come where Sub-clause (3) is and vice versa. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I rise to support the amendment by the Departmental Committee Chair. We know the security situation in this country as well as the level of impunity that prevails in this country. As much as we have very serious security issues in this country and people may wish to own weapons that are superior to rungus, pangas and other weapons they use, the proper approach would be to amend the Firearms Act to accommodate such needs rather than put such provision in this Bill that every private security guard can be entitled to a gun. We will ... view
• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Everybody here seems to suggest that I come from Rwanda. I am a Member for Luanda Constituency in Vihiga County. My elder brother, Hon. (Dr.) Ottichilo, the owner of this Motion donated his constituency so that I can come to this House. That is because Luanda was initially part of Emuhaya. I rise to support this important Motion. We have destroyed our environment at an alarming rate. The earth is only one and it has been here for many years. In the recent past, we have created a layer on the surface of the ... view
