• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I hope that starts from now. I rise not to support but also not to oppose. But as hon. H.K. Njuguna has just said, there is need for an amendment. I am speaking from a point of view. I am the vice-chair of the Implementation Committee and some of the resolutions which are done in the House and Motions which are brought in the House--- Of course, as Committee, we are doing some proposals to the Liaison Committee to try and consider actualization of some of these Motions. I am saying this because right now there are Government policies which ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Government to urgently put in place measures that will ensure that all eligible Kenyans are duly registered---” I think this has been happening save for isolated cases. When it comes to the issue of amnesty--- I am also a member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. When we were working on the Westgate Report, it was obvious that the terrorists who came to attack us came to our country through the borders and into the refugee camps. They then came to Nairobi did what they did and went back the same way. The Mover talked about persons ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Somalis. That in my view is not acceptable. I know the Mover and, of course, those who elected him must have done so because they have identification cards. It is only a small percentage that needs to be considered on a case by case basis. If this amendment goes through, then it is a right amendment that has been brought by hon. Njuguna--- view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, is to thank your Chair leadership in having allowed earlier in the afternoon, the withdrawal of the six, which were very contentious, and that only leaves us with fewer issues that we wanted to talk about. The Criminal Procedure Code - and this has been something that we know in the Constitution--- The Bill of Rights has given everybody an opportunity--- view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Where do I start? I do not want to say that you are gagging me as one of the points that is very touchy in the Bills relates to criminals in this country. That is something that is very important. We need to be very cautious and, of course, as the hon. Member for Mvita had earlier said, we should also be very careful. Again, we should not just use that as a measure now to infringe on other peoples’ rights. I believe that is something that is of importance. Most of these other ones of the air passage, I ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: think, are so obvious, I do not know how much I could say but as regards the National Hospital Insurance Fund Act, I think the Constitution has given us an opportunity for us to competitively source for the Chief Executive Officers. I think that is the norm and the spirit of the Constitution. You have seen in the past and, of course, as you have shared with my colleague here, the National Hospital Insurance Fund has been a conduit of where money has always been swindled. A lot of money has been lost through the National Hospital Insurance Fund. That ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: now again to go against self-declaration under the Leadership and Integrity Act. That is something that is very important so that we can have leaders who are accountable and answerable. I am getting a lot of interference from the Member of Kikuyu but, with those few remarks, I accept that it is important for us to support this Statute Law. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank the Chair and the Committee for having gone through this. We do not want, as Parliament, to be the people who are encouraging people who break the law right, left and centre and go scot-free. As the Member for Ugenya has said, the question we need to ask ourselves is: Are these regulations supposed to pass through Parliament for us to be able to scrutinize them? What has been put across is that a regulation is superseding an Act of Parliament through the Statutory Instrument Act which, ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: However, the birth of NAC was welcome. You understand that houses have collapsed and lives have been lost. A lot of development money that an innocent investor wants to invest is lost because he gets a rogue contractor who does not follow any building code. Those people mess up the investor and the economy. At the same time, they bring death to our very innocent masons and casual workers. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I want to believe that NAC was something that was brought with a good intention. It is only that question that we are asking the National Construction Authority (NCA). It The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
