• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. Notice has been given by Hon. Kaluma for amendment of Clause 35, so that there is power to punish for contempt of court where the contempt is committed on the face of the court. Any other method of dealing with contempt is already prescribed by law the way the Chairman of the Committee has put it. For that reason, all these provisions between (a) and (j) are to give the manner of dealing, if a particular person commits contempt in court while the proceedings are going. I urge hon. Members to support the new amendment by Hon. Kaluma, ... view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I understand the explanation by Hon. Chepkong’a. In this Clause, Hon. Kaluma had proposed that the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 35 and replacing it with Clause 35 (1)--- view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: There is contempt of court and then there is a totally different subject on the power to punish for contempt of court. I do not know whether the Hon. Chair will find it appropriate that we add another sub-clause to Clause 35. It is part of Clause 35. The two do not clash.

• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Clause 36 is good. I support the Chairman. He has given the word “Republic” power of law. I support the amendment by the Departmental Committee Chairman. view

• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. Tracking of firearms is very important and it is going to help this country know which guns have been stolen, which ones are licensed and which ones are not. Ordinarily, most of the guns used in crimes have been stolen from people who are licensed to carry guns or people who have been killed by thugs who then run away with the firearms. Tracking will reduce the stealing of firearms. When firearms are used for legal purposes, it is easier to track them if this ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to comment on this Report. Major (Rtd) Shadrack Muiu comes from Makueni, the area I represent. I would like to state that the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security observed that he became incapacitated while working or serving the National Police Service Commission. In fact, he became incapacitated while he was on official duty. For that matter, efforts to reach him later were not fruitful though the Committee, from the reports they got from the commission, knew very well what had happened. For that matter, the law anticipates a situation ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. It touches on a very important matter of the country as far as wealth creation of the nation is concerned. Hon. Deputy Speaker, without repeating what previous speakers have dwelt on, oil exploitation brings in serious monies into the country. If you look at what has happened with any other exploitation all over the world, you will find that the companies which tend to exploit or invest are international companies. Some are based in Europe and others in America. In the case of ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is the case of the diamonds in Botswana. You find that the company which has exploited diamonds there takes 50 per cent and the government of Botswana takes 50 per cent. That alone has improved the economy of that country. When you look at the case of oil, it is even much complicated because in many situations where big monies have been earned in the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: country, corruption is enhanced at very high levels. After looking at this Bill, the buck stops with the Cabinet Secretary in charge of energy, but it is a matter in which they have to include the Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, because this product will not be consumed locally. In some of the countries where they exploit oil, you find that the countries have shortage of oil and do not have enough reserves. This is not what we are looking for in Kenya. view
