• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Marriage is also about human liberties and strengths of society. This Motion brings to light the difficulties that we are facing as a country in the institution of marriage, education and land. There are too many Acts which are out there and unless they are amalgamated, they are very confusing to the citizenry. One wonders whether to refer to an Act of 2005, 2013 or 2014. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I recognise the effort that Hon. Injendi has made to bring this Motion before this House. If we remain within the confines of the current Acts, which are many, then we will gives power to lawyers and the corridors of justice to be litigants to be peddling and resolving marriage issues through the process of courts. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The cost of marriage should be zero-rated just like issuing Kenyans with IDs, Police Abstracts or Birth and Death certificates. This is because if we make it expensive, citizens will resort to other recourse particularly by having marriages of convenience which you call “come- we-stay”. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Over the weekend, I lost one of my constituents, a lady who was married to somebody in Meru. That marriage was not registered and they have a child. One of the many questions we were asking ourselves is where the lady should be buried. What would you do to the child? Does she belong to the mother’s family or the father’s family?

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Again, in Article 45(2) of our Constitution, every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex based on the free consent of the parties. There is almost the limitation to individuals that they must either go to Imams or to church to solemnise marriage but if the law is enacted in such a way that it is made simple for individuals to approach even magistrates or sub- county administrators, they will register their marriages in an easy way. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The other matter which this Motion raises is in the area of decentralisation. What we are seeing even in the current constitutional dispensation of devolution is that you have decentralised from Nairobi but you have actually centralised in Marsabit, Bomet and Nandi. So, the citizenry are still waiting for those services. Are the services coming closer or they are still far away?

• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Through this Motion, this House must exert its powers so that the citizenry can afford services which are in close reach so that the society can live in harmony. As it were, there are many obstacles placed before the citizenry particularly in getting these services which should be free to them. view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 27 May 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. We debated this Bill as a House exhaustively. Looking at what has come out of the mediation, it has not substantively changed what this House agreed in totality. Therefore, will I be in order to ask the Mover to reply? Thank you. view
