• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I want to say that I support the amendment. Of course, we will be bringing some more amendments--- We will get in touch with hon. Sakaja and bring amendments. Thank you. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish you could be sitting on that seat more frequently. First of all, just for the record to hon. Ng’ongo, who is my friend and has given me a lot of insights about issues, I agree with him on what he was talking about. But I just want to ask him to look at the opinion polls and see the score that the President has been getting. It does not matter whether it was money for last year or this year. I can assure him that after this, the President will be moving up ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Yes. I also support the amendments from the Senate and I think they have woken up now. What they did the other day shows us that it is a House which is seriously doing its work and trying to bring devolution to form. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, I want to say that people have been asking about this Fund, especially the women and youth. It is high time that once we are done, we will ask and urge the President to assent to this legislation as quickly as possible so that, hopefully, within the coming week or two, the money will be available. Thank you and I support. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. First of all, I wish to thank LSK for conducting very credible elections and, more so, for electing one of my constituents namely, Prof. Tom Ojienda, to represent the LSK at Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Secondly, if you look at Clause 4, it talks about the LSK assisting to set, maintain and continuously improve the standards of learning within the line of the lawyers. However, what the LSK needs to do in addition to improving the standards of learning is to check on the Kenya School of Law. It is becoming ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: admission, we have seen that you do not even have to be a lawyer because there is inclusion of honorary membership. You do not need to have gone through the LLB profession, but you still have an opportunity of joining and giving your contribution towards this society. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The LSK has come out in the open, where it does not support any of its members who go contrary to the requirement and objective of LSK. The LSK in the past has actually suspended some of these people within the legal fraternity. This shows that they are non-partisan and they have issues that they are able to protect, even within their own membership. If you look at the aspect of elections, like the one they had recently, I wish political parties would borrow a leaf from them. The supervision of the election was done in a very sober and ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman and his Committee for having done a thorough job and being able to bring a Bill that has been there for ages. I am just learning that almost seven statutes have been collapsed and summarized into one Bill. We thank the lawyers especially, hon. Kaluma, for giving us insight as regards these issues. These laws, as the Chairman read out, are as old as 1900. This has been the reason for all these problems that we have had in the marriage institution. If this Bill is ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I know that the other side does not want to hear this Motion. I would like to thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Procedural Motion. One of the core issues that a Parliamentarian is supposed to do is representation. When we came to this House, what happened is that we were trying to get all sorts of ways to “catch the eyes” of our constituents. I remember one of my colleagues told us that the best place to sit is behind the Majority Leader so that we can be ... view
