• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion today as per the Order Paper. The Motion talks of exposition of public policy in the Address of His Excellency the President on Monday, 6th October of this year. On the issue of public policy, I think the President set a good example and a good precedent that the presidents of this country could subject to law. He set a good example by subjecting himself to the law and following the Constitution to the letter. However, we noticed that there could be international politics and it ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion, which is meant to approve the appointment of the Director-General of the NIS. I would like to state that recently Kenya faced external aggression where a lot of lives were lost. The life of a single Kenyan is very important; therefore, I support the appointment of the new DG of NIS, so that Kenyans can be secure. Though the previous DG has retired, we, my constituency and I, hope that the channel of reporting intelligence and acting upon it will be looked at, so that ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Changamwe is generally cosmopolitan. It serves people from all over Kenya. There is usually a lot of inconvenience, probably, due to poor planning. As the Member has explained, when you are getting in and out of the airport - I am sure hon. Members have seen it - it is bad. Therefore, it will be good for the Petition to be looked into. The historical land rights in the area should also be looked The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: into, so that the indigenous people, and all the people who have settled in Changamwe can be happy and co-exist peacefully. I have had opportunity to visit the Member in his area. He welcomed me very well and I discovered that a lot of people from my constituency also reside there and he takes care of them. So, I urge the Committee - I would also like to participate - to give the people of Changamwe the best. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I have looked at the amendment proposed to Clause 4. It is good that it has been put in accordance with the Constitution. However, Paragraph (j) says that the victim’s cultural values and beliefs are to be respected. Kenya has a wide cultural diversity. So long as those cultures are not repugnant to justice, they can be controlled by law. There are many practices which sometimes victimise people. People end up being victims by virtue of some cultures. In some instances, people die, like in the case of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Paragraph (k) says that the victim should not be discriminated, whereas Paragraph (l) says that the victim should be protected from victimization of any sort. view

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I have looked again at Clause 5 which states that no victim shall be denied the rights or welfare of a victim under this Act by reason only that similar protection measures are available under any other written law. It means that this particular Act invites all the other laws which can protect a victim of crime and therefore, it is a great provision. I support all what the Committee did. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, you know the identification of a victim is very important especially in the event of death. Sometimes even DNA has to be conducted so that a person is identified in the event they have no other documents. You have seen in the past persons have been wrongly identified in mortuaries and buried. Proper identification is important. You saw the case of displaced persons and how people were compensated only for deserving cases to claim that no compensation was paid to them. Therefore, it is important to avoid that confusion, whether the victim is alive or deceased. I support ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. A lot has been said about the amended Motion. I would like to state that insecurity is extremely expensive to the country. Recently, we have seen Kenyans, including our own visitors, killed at the Coast and the killers have never been traced. The country has advanced and recently, I was lucky to travel to Australia with hon. Kabando wa Kabando, when the unfortunate incident happened. What I noticed about a similar system as we are discussing here today is that the police ... view
