• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important law. It is a requirement of the Constitution that we enact this particular law. Article 100 talks about promotion or representation of marginalised groups and it deals specifically with Parliament which will enact legislation to promote the representation in Parliament, meaning the National Assembly and the Senate. I do not know what the case of the county assemblies is as it was alluded by the Member for Gichugu. Unless we amend the Constitution, I do not think we will deal with the county assemblies now. ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. That clarification clears that peculiar matter. When you look at the political parties and the statutes, political parties are very crucial when it comes to an election and its guidelines mainly because they conduct the nominations. While doing that with this amendment, it is clear that political parties will then consider Article 100 and the law will have been fulfilled in that particular matter. Similarly several other statutes will have been amended which deal with this particular issue and that means this will make the fullness of elections and will take care of marginalised groups. The ... view

• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have looked at this Act as a lawyer and having served in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock and now in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, I understand the real problem in Kenya. If we compare ourselves with Botswana and now Somalia, you will realise that our problem cannot be resolved by an Act of Parliament. I want to take note of the fact that there was Legal Notice No.7720 of 2016 where the President ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: officers, and whether our meat is safe or not. There are many diseases associated with animals. We have been losing on that end and there is need to find a cure even if we have a board that can market our meat all over the world. This board cannot work in isolation of other legal bodies like the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) that already exist and perform the same functions. Another problem is that we are also not selling locally. There are agreements where the Kenya Prisons Services and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) utilise our meat, but they have ... view
• 16 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Kenyan Budget, when it goes to the European Union and the UAE, will it come back with markets and orders? There are so many institutions that need beef such as international chains of hotels. The marketing strategy… view

• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Report.

• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: The case of Mount Elgon presents a very unique situation. I believe what the Cabinet and the Executive considered before seeking the approval of this House on degazettement of part of the forest is so that Kenyans who have been living on that particular area for a long time can be settled. The historical perspective in this Report shows that it is a matter which started in the 1930s and went on until today. These particular circumstances are unique and, therefore, should not be used as precedent for any other squatters who are near forests to automatically get rights to ... view
