• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I am sorry, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to agree totally with what you have said. I was worried before because I got seven text messages about that clause from some concerned Kenyans. They said that what was done was not in line with the spirit of our Constitution. However, now that it has been amended, I support it. I apologize too. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support my colleague, hon. Ndirangu. When I was doing my accounting course, under the company law, what he is talking about came up. I am not a lawyer; therefore, I cannot remember exactly the case because it was in England, somewhere I do not know who versus who. However, the precedent is that the person who was affected was compensated and that is what it is basically. It was legislation and that went through a court process in England where we have borrowed a lot of our legislation from and that person was paid. This ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just talking from a lay man’s point of view, because I am not a lawyer. What the Vice Chair is saying is very clear. If you look at a judicial process, there are so many court cases taking years. The Chief Justice said that you can even hire the services of a witch-doctor to try and clear some of these before you go for judgment. Let us give the Chief Justice an opportunity first; if he does not work, then we can go for mediation. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: But that is why the Chief Justice was advising that we do not take everything to court. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: But only specifically for the High Court. But as regards the other section, saying that the Chief Justice cannot hear a case in the first instance is not fair. We need to give him an opportunity and, maybe, people will agree. If they do not, then you can now seek redress elsewhere. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I totally support the Chair in terms of the amendments. In fact, we have the young upcoming miners who will be going into this business and again this is just too much. It is just like what hon. Kang’ata had just said the other day; we kill those people who commit economic crimes. Reducing it would be fair. view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Yes, I am in support. Specifically, it is a very good input of this thing. I know that, within my county, in Naivasha; some young men are being duped into some adventure of trying to get some gold. They have been toiling and their safety and health have been at risk. With this support, a person or any other company who might come might be able to assist them because, as it is now, the Naivasha lads are just toiling in the mud, getting nothing. It has been very unfortunate. If the Government had tried to provide an expertise ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Kajwang’ has just left. I want to tell him that I am also his friend. He should, therefore, remember me in future. First and foremost, I want to thank the Committee and the Jubilee Government for coming up with this Bill. I know Kenya has been rated as a middle income country. Coming to this Parliament has really given me a lot of knowledge. I did not even know that we have 50 minerals. I can see it under the First Schedule. It is only that in my county sand has been removed and I believe it is the ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: There was a clause there that was referred to as “Chinese Clause”. The Chinese Government has done a lot in terms of partnership with us. Therefore, whoever was saying that might have made a misplaced statement. But, I totally support the Motion. view
