• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Having sat here for a while and followed the debate, I have noticed that hon. Members are repeating themselves. Could the Mover be called upon to reply after hon. Mbadi has made his contribution? view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for according me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. In many parts of Kenya, there are probably a lot of minerals which are yet to be discovered. Even in parts of my constituency of Makueni, during the rainy seasons children spot stones on the riverbeds – stones which eventually turn out to be very precious minerals. Therefore, there is need for us to come up with a law which could help the country to make proper use of the minerals which we have in the country. I have looked at this Bill and ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Are we going to mine minerals only for them to benefit other people, and not ourselves? That aspect has generally been left out in the proposed law. It is, therefore, good for the Committee to look at it again, so that we can protect our resources. We should see what resources can come from our own National Treasury, so that we can exploit our minerals, just like is the case in Botswana. Minerals in Botswana were discovered by accident. People in that country do not pay tax because minerals provide the Government with enough money. Parents do not pay for ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to seek clarification from the Chair regarding the system of distribution of relief food that they are going to use. In parts of Ukambani, including my constituency, there is serious drought and there are no signs that the national Government is about to supply relief food to schools.

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to seek clarification. Since this suspect was kept in custody for more than 24 hours, wass that in accordance with the Constitution? This suspect was taken to hospital for medication. Is that not an indication that there was a medical report and, therefore, somebody should be liable for assaulting the suspect?

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Just as my friends have said, I just want to seek clarification on what has been done so far. How much has been paid? This is because where families have lost their people--- We have not seen anything being done, including in my own constituency. So, could they tell us what has been done so far? view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill and also congratulate hon. (Ms) Odhiambo-Mabona for bringing it to Parliament. As a practising advocate I have seen things happen in courts. The legal system we have in a lot of times recognizes a misadventure. Under the Criminal Procedure Code and the Penal Code, if you are killed by the police by accident it becomes a misadventure and after that your family is not compensated. In cases like the recent matter in my constituency where when gangsters were being chased away by ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: compensated because there are extremes. That is why it needs to be reviewed to establish whether the person was a criminal, and if he was killed by the police, then who pays. Is it the State? view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In cases where people have sued having been victimized by the agents of State, their cases take many years to be completed; when they are completed, execution is a problem. It also takes years once there is judgment to be paid by the Attorney-General’s Office. Therefore, there is need to re-streamline this to take care of Kenyans who have been victimized in any manner by criminals, the State or any other organ. Their families, who are left behind or those who live with injuries, should be sufficiently compensated. view
