• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to admit that in the morning when this was brought, I got a little bit confused about the 14 days and five days and then later we heard about the six months, but now I understand the issue as debate goes on. I wish to indulge you because of the new Members. I wish to request that during the recess in August, we can get one week of induction, so that we can know the proper procedures as to what we are supposed to do. We can also understand some of these ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to admit and thank the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. We would like to have an extension so that we can read the ALFA Bill as we have been told by the Majority Leader and see how best we can deal with this within our regions. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I want to agree with the speakers who have spoken before me that we request the Chairman to repeal--- As much as it concerns the county governments, we can even now engage the Senate when it comes to the actual repealing of the relevant sections. However, I am purely interested to have some changes because of the pyrethrum industry. If this industry is revived and given proper attention, it will increase job opportunities to almost 200 and very many other people will benefit. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support that we get another six months so that we can look at the Act and amend it. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As the Leader of Majority Party had put it when he was making his contribution, I totally agree that these things were rushed through the last Parliament. Hon. Kabando wa Kabando has also said that they were rushed to meet a deadline without due consideration of the effect that it will have on the local areas. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: As hon. Neto has just said, again, we will devolve governance. So, we also need not to start centralizing these issues again. We need to decentralize and take them back. Of course, there are those that have not been of any material use. But now that we have the governors in office, they can take up that issue. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion by hon. Gakuya on issues to do with Dandora. I have never been to Dandora, but Dandora has always been on the newspapers for the last 20 years on the bad said. What has been happening in Dandora is unforgivable. It is very unfortunate that the Dandora view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I second the amendment to the Motion. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Motion and thank hon. Njomo for bringing this timely Motion for deliberation in this House. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the previous lady speaker for, at least, enlightening us on this funding. It was a good presentation when she told us where, as hon. Members of this House can go, learn more and see how it can directly benefit our people. I want to say that the founding fathers of this nation had very good policies and ideas for this country. Those are the good policies that ... view
• 11 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first of all, let me take this opportunity to thank you for the minute of silence in honour of the late hon. Chelegat. I am one of those people who did not know her very well, in exception of the few things I was reading in the newspaper. Hon. Speaker, from what I read in the newspaper, I want to say that, it just proved to us that even women in their own capacity can chart or fight for the rights of their people; when they are representing their people in this august House. I want to say ... view
