• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Chair of the Committee and say that public participation is very key. It is constitutional and a lot of times we insist and stress on public participation so that every party feels that they have been taken care of. Most important, this is a private negotiation. I support. view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: I strongly oppose. As much as it is important to provide incentives and motivate these people to bring information, increasing the amount from Kshs2 million to Kshs5 million is not good. Where are we providing for that Kshs5 million as we speak? A sum of Kshs2 million is sufficient. I strongly oppose. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. One of the biggest problems in the country is the sanitiser. The Government has to ensure that there are sanitisers in all public buildings and places. One alternative that is being used is the surgical spirit. We should have a method of ensuring that whatever product that is given to the people is up to standard and will deal with the situation.

• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to take a different tangent on this Report. view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I want to take a different tangent because quite a number of people who are familiar with the courts have contributed. In the last 10 years or so since the coming into force of the new Constitution and the last two Chief Justices, there has been a lot of improvement in the court systems in the country. Also, there has been an improvement as to the funding of the Judiciary. I am sure that you, having been in the legal profession for a long time and familiar with the country, you are aware of the efforts made since the 1980s ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Six years ago, I went to Makindu Court. Unfortunately, it had been burnt down by some unknown people at night. The magistrate who was in charge and was conducting the session had a lot of frustrations. He asked me as the new Member of Parliament whether I could pass information on the situation. It did not take long. In one of the courts then, a black snake fell on the desk of the magistrate and that court was in disarray. The courts work with different bodies in the country like the Director of Public Prosecutions and the Prisons Department. Although ... view
• 12 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: conjunction with the World Bank. Also, in Wote, which is the County Headquarters of Makueni, a new building to host the courts has just been completed. I visited Kitui a few days ago and there are also very big improvements. Those are the counties I have been to. I have been to Mombasa, Kisumu and many other places. There has been a very big improvement in the last 10 years or so when it comes to the court infrastructure. It has really improved access to justice and the treatment of prisoners, among other issues. There has been a lot more. ... view
• 11 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: While they consult and whereas it is perfectly in order for them to do so, I have seen there is also a further amendment by a Member of this House, Hon. Wangare, on the same. Can it be dealt with? However, if the consultations would go on further, then, probably, you could rule, as the Chair, that we proceed to another Order. We can suspend this particular one, so that they can prepare themselves adequately. view
