• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I said that in this law, it is my opinion that we do not use those terminologies. With regard to the principal judge, I have no issue with that. I think you got my point. Let us not run away from the principles according to separation of powers. I and you can understand that very clearly, senior counsel. However, it may not go down well with the people of Garsen or Mbooni for that matter. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second point I want to make is in relation to Clause 6. In this clause, there ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this debate. I want to thank hon. Wamalwa for bringing this timely Motion before the House. I stand to support this Motion. The Motion is urging the Government to set up a policy and legal framework to regulate that fast growing and vital sector of our society. The Motion also urges the Government to set up a Boda Boda Fund that will facilitate the training and empowerment of our people. Although a lot has been said about the western side of Kenya, in ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a policy needs to be developed. Apart from the security of the boda boda operators themselves, the security of their customers needs to be addressed. What is expected? We have had cases of harassment, but even before that, how is a customer on a boda boda, in terms of safety, expected to be covered? We know that when you are riding a motorcycle, you are supposed to wear a helmet. What about when you are riding a bicycle or a boda boda ? The Government needs to come out and say something about the security ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Problems have been experienced in terms of accidents. What are we supposed to do? The Government needs to think about it. There is the question of insurance. We know, for a fact, that if you are travelling in a public service vehicle, that motor vehicle is expected to have insurance, so that the people who are being carried, in the event of any unfortunate accident or any form of misfortune, the passengers are covered. If you look at view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: , this provision is not there. The Governments should structure something that is both affordable and covers the rest of the public. This is something that needs to be developed as far as the policy that we are discussing here is concerned. We are aware that right now, the boda boda owners have associations where the person who is joining would be required to pay certain fees. He would be required to obtain his Personal Identification Number (PIN) and in some places, given a small flag to show his membership number. This helps the boda boda industry to ward off ... view

• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I remember that the last time I was on the Floor, I mentioned the fact that this Motion goes deep into questioning the functions of diplomats and their duties in general. We cannot only discuss the conduct of the American Ambassador without holistically looking at the whole of the duties that diplomats are supposed to execute in Kenya. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not have a copy of my Standing Orders here, but I am not sure whether we can sincerely discuss in the view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: open Parliament matters that regard procurement of military hardware. We are talking about our national defence! Is it possible for this matter to be handled in the relevant Departmental Committee so that the Minister can be open to the hon. Members who will be in that Committee? I am not sure whether we can discuss this matter the way we are doing. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I did not want to interrupt the Minister. However, is he in order, being aware that the African Union endorsed on 4th February, 2010, the ruling of the Court of the Commission – and Kenya is a Member of the African Union? With the African Union’s endorsement of that Commission Ruling, it becomes legally binding to the State. Is the Minister in order to come and say that he is not aware and that he needs a legally binding copy of the document and yet, we have an Ambassador in the African ... view
