• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), last month, I sought a statement from a joint committee consisting of the Departmental Committee on Lands and Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Up to now, I have not got the Statement and on Thursday, next week we are breaking for recess, meaning that if we break, I will not get the answer. view
• 28 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It was to both committees, Hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Report because it is high time this country plans matters succession well. This is because when the Auditor-General is not in office, we cannot know the amount of money spent and the limit available. So, it is high time we realised the importance of all positions especially those of Commissions because they are independent bodies which normally run the affairs of this country. Therefore, it is high time the appointment of the Auditor-General is structured in a manner that when a term expires, the Government is prepared with a successor. view
• 27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: This Report has delayed in the Committee and it cannot approve it because there is no sitting Auditor-General to approve it. Economically, this country is run by the reports we receive from the Auditor-General. The money that is supposed to be spent at the county and the national level is supposed to be guided by the Auditor-General. So, the framework of the way the Auditor-General is put in place should be well described, so that we do not encounter the problem we are encountering. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. First and foremost, let me thank my Chair and colleagues in this Committee for sitting and working on this Bill for several months and criss- crossing this country and even outside the country so that, at least, we can perfect the same. I am happy because this important Bill has landed in this House. I urge my colleagues to support and pass it so that, we can reform the gaming activities in this country and put in place the necessary and required structure to control ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Initially, the Members felt that we can do away with gaming and gaming activities. However, when we researched and looked into it critically, we found out that this activity is here with us. We cannot run away from it, especially now when we have online gaming in the current modern times which we are in. We cannot run away from it. Therefore, we had to formulate a Bill which would address the modern technology and also put controls into the old gaming activities. view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I would like this House to note that whatever laws which have been governing gaming in this country are outdated. Therefore, there is mushrooming of so many games and lotteries which are not cultured, and Chinese boxes. They come in because we do not have this particular law. Once this law is in place, it will tame those unscrupulous business people who exploit that lacuna in our laws and bring in their own games which affected our children, households or families. They make some people poor and introduce our children into activities which they are not supposed to be in. ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: People have been playing with Kshs20, Kshs10 or Kshs5. That is why children end up stealing eggs, sugar or something else to sell and engage in gaming. Already, there is a tag which has been put in place which will curtail those vices and for the children not to be involved in gaming. The Bill involves the county governments because they are the custodians of what happens in the rural areas. They will identify the premises which will be licensed and verify whether they are where they are supposed to be. They will also check those breaking the law so ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The Bill also spells out monies collected through taxes in those gaming activities. There is some Fund which is supposed to go to public participation to help in social activities, especially in sports. Out of the taxes, there will be a Fund which will support the sports in this country. We are deficient of funds to run our sports. The Government itself is not able to cater for all the needs of the sporting activities in this country, whereas we know this is a sporting country with very many talented youth. More so, we are getting embarrassed outside the country ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The Bill also introduces appeals tribunal so that if there is any dispute between the Government officers, the authority, the licensees or the players, instead of going to judiciary, the tribunal will listen to those complaints and if there is anything to be paid by the wrongdoer, it is done quickly and expediently so that we do not keep on running up and down in the corridors to get litigation. view
