• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: It is high time we recognised those very important people in our society. My fear now is that we are looking at it as a Parliament and urging the national Government to consider those 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
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: village elders. When you go to the counties where we have county governments, they are also restructuring themselves to the village. There is that fear of duplication of the village elders because they are addressing the same thing. It should be harmonised because, at the end of the day, if we are going to be paying those village elders from the national Budget and have others from the county governments, we shall be duplicating those services. But they are important in the society and need to be recognised. I support the idea of giving them a monthly salary and not ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: They also help a lot even in reducing congestion in courts because most of the time, people run to the police or courts. Those village elders do a noble job in reducing the number of people who go for arbitration in the legal offices. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: In Meru, we have a council of the Njuri Ncheke elders who play a very important role. Most of them are also village elders who man each and every village. In case of any disputes, cases are taken to those elders. They sit on a specific day and all cases are brought to them. Most of the time they arbitrate so many cases in a month which would have ended up in the law courts and is expensive. Those are simple issues which need to be resolved locally. If they go to the law courts, they have to look for ... view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: We have the Nyumba Kumi Initiative which the Government came up with to supplement and support the village elders. Since it was started, it has not taken ground as we wanted it to be. It has not been taken seriously. If it is implemented fully and the village elders are incorporated into it, it will prevent terror attacks, people infiltrating into the villages and radicalisation of our children and such like things. view
• 27 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Motion. Let us give village elders a salary and not honorarium. Thank you. view
• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support this Petition by my brother, Hon. Gatobu. He has put it rightly. We have a problem in the way we implement resolutions or findings which are done by competent bodies in this country and especially as far as education is concerned. For example, like the Kilemi Mweria Report, once it was put given to the president and it was given out to be implemented, some interpreted it opposite because some schools started increasing their fees while others reduced. It became now a fuss which is not very ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I oppose it. It appears somebody somewhere is trying to act to please somebody without looking at the interest of the people who have already claimed that they suffer and have suffered in the hands of the people we are trying to make agreements with. In moving the Motion, the Chairman said that the UK is happy to come and have their exercises and activities with us. That is because in Laikipia and around Nanyuki where they stay, there are five ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Chairman is trying to eat into my minutes. I know he put it there and I heard him saying it, but we have half cast boys who are 20 to 30 years. Has he factored them in his Report? How will he address their plight? Will their fathers come for them? That is the question we are asking. We are not talking of the future. Can we go back to the past in terms of what had happened before? Some women have been raped by these soldiers. Have we factored their plight in ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: The law on balance of payment is very clear. Every country will struggle to see that what we export equals to what we import, so that we can be at par. If they bring in things politically, why can we not also go the political way? We can open up our miraa business, compensate us for all the damages they have done and sit down and do a treaty which will be properly tailored, so that it can be acceptable especially to the miraa growing communities. We should be looking at what we get from these people, but not what ... view
