• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Clause 9 deals with people who try to interfere with justice around, within, and outside the law courts, and especially with the witnesses. It is good that this Bill cautions those people who think they can use their influence, be it power or money, to interfere with justice by intimidating their subjects and telling them not to give evidence. The enactment of Clause 9 will give litigants, witnesses and the courts protection from people who may interfere with the due process of the court. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On administration, it is common knowledge that in our law courts, files disappear and they are never found again. It becomes very difficult to trace them. With the enactment of this law, we shall have an administrator who will be accountable for all the courts records. This includes the filing in the registry and their availability. It will be easy to trace a file so that once a case comes up for hearing, the file will be ready and placed before the magistrate. If at all the file is not there, there is a person who will be accountable and, ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank my colleague, Hon. Ngetich for coming up with this Bill. I agree that it is well-thought and well researched. It will go a long way in trying to harmonise and also regulate our engineering and technology sector. It will bring in checks and balances into this sector. In bringing up this Bill, it gives the engineering and technology sector a big boost, in that we would not be getting engineers who, just after graduation ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: get them. We have Vision 2030 where we need engineers to do our projects like the Tatu City and the digital cities we are doing, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor Project. All these will require engineers. But you find that because we do not have a body which regulates and stipulates who should do this work and what shares the Kenyan market should get or the Kenyan experts should get, we end up importing engineers all the way from China and other countries whereas we have qualified engineers who could be doing ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No. 2) Bill. I concur with the amendments as they were presented by the Chairperson of the Committee. These amendments will go a long way in trying to actualise the Constitution, which we are still in the process of making workable and perfect. We are moving a step ahead to see that the Constitution is implemented as is expected by Kenyans. These amendments touch on a wide range of issues, including our economy, social life and also the way we should ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Kenya being an agricultural country which does not have minerals, I strongly believe that agriculture should be given priority - especially the cash crops despite the fact that synthetics and other products have come in to challenge the same. When there was pyrethrum, many farmers used to get a lot of money especially in Meru - my home area - and in Igembe. When we had pyrethrum, we used to supplement our income. Apart from coffee, tea and view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: we also used to get money from pyrethrum. Today, the area that used to grow pyrethrum now lies fallow. I do not know why the Government should keep on appointing board members and directors and yet, they are not going out to the field or farms to confirm what is being produced, and which they are going to manage. This amendment should ensure that pyrethrum is grown and protected so that it can earn income to our people. I am not talking about pyrethrum alone. There are many other crops which can bring money to this country. But, somehow, the ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: they are chased away. But during the rainy season, they are back. When there is a dry spell, they are chased away by animals. It becomes a big problem and people cannot develop their farms properly. In sports, there is a lot of talent. We have many talented young Kenyans who can perform in each and every field. We have seen the young Kenyan – Julius Yego - who is nicknamed “The YouTube Athlete”. He became who he is by using social media and watching others practicing. We should establish academies and centres of excellence where, if one is not ... view
• 6 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me add my voice to this petition which, I believe, is timely. I really support the petitioner. It should be looked into with all the seriousness it deserves. These village elders in some areas, which in my place we call “sub-areas”, do a crucial job, especially in the management of our villages and also in dispute resolution. They did a very good job when we were fighting illicit liquor. The crackdown is going on now. These are the people who identified liquor dens and they assist Administration Police Officers (APs). Usually, chiefs and assistant ... view
• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Let me thank my colleague, Hon. Waluke, for bringing this Motion. I support it with amendments. As we argue over the issue of police officers, their terms of service, the way they conduct themselves and what should be done, we should consider whether despite training them, we should give them the right ammunitions, accommodation and other facilities for them to execute their mandate. The problem of the police officers is two-fold, namely, they are trained and given jobs, but are they remunerated to the extent ... view
