• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to oppose the amendment. This is the legal institution of this land. They have told us that they believe in an independent body and at the same time, they are coming to this House to tell us that they can choose who can conduct their elections. You cannot have your cake and eat it. They have said that they want transparent and fair elections in the previous section. It cannot be that now they want their elections to be conducted by a body the membership will choose; is not a fair law. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much hon. Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank you and the hon. Speaker for providing leadership to this House. This House must continue to offer leadership more than the Executive and the Judiciary because all our constituents and all Kenyans look up to this House for efficient and effective running of the Republic of Kenya. There are important Bills which have come to the Floor of the House. They are important because they make sense to every Kenyan - the small, the big, the rich and the poor. We must look at those Bills ... view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support this amendment. I think the difficulties that we are in, in the current dispensation are: “Where do citizens send their complaints to?” By putting this under the national authority we are likely to standardise issues of complaints that may arise from different counties across the country. I beg to support. view
• 4 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker view
• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Without interrupting my brother, the importance of this Bill cannot be overemphasized. However, we are almost repeating. This is because under Article 231(5) of the Constitution, the role of Parliament is clearly stipulated in terms of giving functions to the CBK. Therefore, I stand under Standing Order 95(1) to call upon the Mover to reply. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You are very gracious. I want, on the outset, to send my condolences to the 28 Kenyans who met their death under very unfortunate circumstances. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a Member of Parliament from northern Kenya, Saku Constituency, we pay a lot of tribute to teachers and medics who come from different parts of Kenya to serve our people in northern Kenya because we are hard up with manpower. They provide invaluable service. I want to tell their families that their sons and daughters are heroes because they were serving under very difficult conditions and they were providing invaluable service. The issue of national security is very important. Hon. Members have also made serious comments on what is ailing the country now. ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The hon. Member must state the facts or withdraw his remarks. How can he say the Kenyan forces are in Kismayo to burn charcoal and do charcoal trade? That is misleading. There are many men and women who have put their lives on the line out there, and for him to speculate on that, I think it is very unfair. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I wish to say that I support this Bill because it is good. As hon. Members of the National Assembly, we will have done our cardinal duty of legislating for our people by enacting this Bill. Articles 29(f) and 51 of the Constitution provide for it, but we are giving it the backbone for it to stand the scrutiny of time. Article 19(2) of the Constitution, the fundamental part of this Bill, is in the area of human rights. The purpose of recognizing and ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill goes further to provide what we, as a country, are seeing. It is the gradual development of our law and the maturity of the country. Whereas hon. Gumbo said that maybe we are making prisons cosy, we should appreciate the fact that the individuals who go to prison have not been banished from the society; they will return to the society. There are many provisions that have been inbuilt in this Bill. The hon. Members who spoke before me talked about prisoners being visited every seven days or being visited by their ... view
