• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I support the inclusion of Part VIA. view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I was saying this is very important because it is still within the purview of Parliament and that this will guide the fees which will be charged in case of planning and schedules to bring to effect the statute made by the CS, Planning will have to come to the Committee of Parliament on Delegated Legislation. It is proper and I support those amendments. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to speak on this very important Motion on establishment of civil registration centres in every constituency. Civil registration is not only about birth certificates. Kenya has come a long way with this matter. There is a time when this was only obtainable at Sheria House in Nairobi and you would find long queues there. Eventually, it was devolved to some districts. Today, it is mostly in many county headquarters in the country. Recently, the Government encouraged, through primary schools, that all children in schools be equipped with birth certificates. Ordinarily, ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I really support this Bill. First and foremost, many other countries which are surrounded by seas and oceans and have a lot of internal waters have a coast guard service. It is very useful in this era whereby we need to secure our territory and territorial waters. The beauty about it is these are specific officers who are trained in a specific manner to handle police work among other works while protecting our territory. Of course, the mandate of Kenya Navy is quite clear and you can see from the Bill that they will ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Establishment of the Coast Guard Service is long overdue in this country. This Bill should be passed as soon as possible. Its commencement will be upon the approval by the Cabinet Secretary after the President has assented to it. That means the Cabinet Secretary will have the necessary time to put all the mechanisms together. It will become part of our budget because there will be a cost. I believe that this service will generate income in one way or another so that it can also support itself. It is parallel to what is happening with the Kenya Wildlife Service. ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I support Hon. Duale’s amendment. Irrigation encompasses a very wide field; from engineers to agriculturists to agronomists to contracts being signed. So, you need people with knowledge of law. Hon. Duale’s amendment fits very well into this sub-clause 5(c). view
• 19 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I support that amendment. Nuclear energy needs people with specific qualifications. The word “registered” is good because it makes sure that the person is “sieved”. I am sure that within the engineers’ network and their professional body, this sort of registration exists. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. A lot of Members here have heard that when there is a murder case, the suspect is first tested whether he or she is mentally ill and whether they are fit to answer charges. This should not only happen in murder cases but should expand to many other serious crimes. In a situation where it turns out that a person who commits murder is mad, or mentally unstable, they are never charged. Recently in Makueni, there is a police officer who shot the ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to say that even in very advanced democracies where enactment of laws has progressed and where matters health and mental health are very advanced like the United States of America, recently when a former student walked into a school and shot innocent children, the country was taken aback and was quickly looking for solutions when the event had happened. What we are doing with this Motion is we are preparing ourselves so that we reduce occasions whereby such matters could happen. If teachers detect a student has a particular mental issue… There is ... view
