• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Definitely, changing the name from “Institute” to “Society” and removing any role of the Cabinet Secretary in this society’s operations is important. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to support. However, I had an issue with that heading and Part III which I need guidance on. Clauses 23, 24, 25 and 27 talk on the same issue. That is changing the three words by two words. I wanted your guidance whether we can take them together. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is an important amendment. In many professions--- If you look at that particular clause, part (c) states that someone has to pass an examination. Putting it at a masters level makes too tough. Look at the legal profession or the medical profession. Once you pass the professional examination--- I support that particular amendment. view
• 2 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to join my colleagues in thanking hon. Wamunyinyi for this very important Bill. The need for the services of counsellors and psychologists cannot be gainsaid. That is why I am happy. I have sat through today’s proceedings to ensure that things go the way they have gone.

The title of this Bill is very telling, it is about retirement benefits and not about what someone will do in the future. It is a right that someone earns by having worked and having served the country. It is very important to divorce what we are talking about from what will happen in the future. It is important to note that pensions are earned; they are not rewards, like I have heard some people saying. These are rights that are gained because ... view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I may need to move amendments later to provide for expenses for transition. When someone is planning to leave office, how do you handle it, so that he knows what to expect and not pension only? When you are leaving office, there are so many things that go with it that we may need to include in this Bill, even for the Prime Minister, the Deputy President and the Speakers.

• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you so much hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the issue raised by the hon. Member is very important. I just wanted to know why the Chair could not take this opportunity to deliver a comprehensive statement on the status of the Immigration Department in this country today and why he should not take this opportunity to tell this country the plans it has. What is happening on the issue of terrorism and runaway crime? I thought the Chair should have taken this opportunity to tell this House and the country the plans that have been put in place by ... view
