• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Just like it has been said by Hon. Nyokabi, the Vice-Chairlady of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, there is no way it is possible to change this age because we are going to put to risk many children in high schools. It will mean young girls in Form Two could get misused sexually and there is no legal remedy and so, this is extremely dangerous. In fact, it will be my proposal at the Third Reading that it is removed and consolidated with Hon. Mutua’s amendments, some of which are extreme. We should relook at the Sexual ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: through court. The moment they leave, because they are citizens of this country, many issues arise like dual citizenships and other things. But it must be restricted so that we do not give away all our children, whether they are orphans or not through a process where they could suffer in future without remedies from this country. Once a child is outside the jurisdiction of Kenya, the laws of Kenya cease applying for that child. It is important for us to protect our children. There is also the Public Officers Ethics Act. While there is a board responsible for witness ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to confirm that in the matter related to CBA, it was concluded in court and a judgement given. What is pending in court now is the issue of failure to stop the strike, which is just contempt of court and the matter is now between the doctors and court. They may have been contemnors. So, the CBA is no longer an issue before court. What is pending before court is to end the strike or else the court takes action. From all the things you have read, there is nothing pending before ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. The Hydrologists Bill is very important for the country because as we know, water is a devolved function and is being handled by the counties. The country is in short supply of experts in the area of water, hydrologists for that matter who are degree holders and also at lower levels. The practice has been that if you drill a borehole and there happens to be no water, then there are rumours that a certain water engineer is going to be punished. The mechanism ... view
• 31 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: leading to loss of money, will probably have to pay back so that they can be careful enough. Thus, there will be no dry boreholes and other errors. We are also developing the Thwake-Athi Dam which will take water to Konza City and many parts of the Ukambani counties. This will need many hydrology engineers because water will be pumped to different areas. It is difficult to really control water or drought in the country without such experts who should be properly regularised. We have many of them in the private sector and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) who purportedly dig boreholes ... view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to oppose this law. I am familiar with privatisation of this country and the original Act because it was applied when I was in Government. One of the examples is the New Kenya Cooperative Creameries (New KCC), which was going through a process of privatisation by the Privatisation Commission. You could see the gaps and that, indeed, the common Kenyan and one who had invested in milk and dairy farming had really lost and continues to lose up to today and the matter of New KCC has never been ... view
