• 3 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I am hoping that this will be immediately implemented. In fact, I hear that there is already some initiative between Safaricom and Capital Markets practitioners to roll out that kind of product. So, we are looking forward to that. I am hoping that the Central Bank of Kenya is going to embrace this technology so that we can move this country forward. Thank you. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I contribute to this Bill, I would like to condemn in the strongest terms possible the unfair treatment of our women. They are our sisters and they have a right to dress as they wish. I would like to say that, it is not a solution to harass women yet they have not complained when men wear sagging jeans. It is unfair and everything should be done within the law. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: One of the reasons why I have decided to support this Bill is because for the first time, we are going to have a register where when somebody is arrested, their details are entered. We have had situations where, whenever one is taken into custody in police stations, they have no records to show what kind of assets or personal effects they had. Nobody is there to take note of what has been taken from them. It is, therefore, important for us to have the necessary register. view
• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Another benefit of this Bill is that we are going to have a family day where people in prison are able to access their families and have quality time, especially mothers of those in prison. The third reason why I feel it is a good Bill is because it will take care of mothers who are imprisoned with children.

• 18 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: 32 Tuesday 18th November, 2014 According to the Bill, it is important not to condemn suspects or people who have been sentenced. However, there is need to address some of the concerns to ensure that they are given chances to attend school, get courses and training and decently sit for examinations. They should be given chances to pursue their careers. Some of you might have visited the Prison’s Showroom and you probably have seen the kind of good work that is done by prisoners. Even the seats that we are sitting on including the one you are sitting on, hon. ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I promise to be brief. First, I want to support this Bill. A person does not cease to be a human being because he or she has been imprisoned. It is said that if you want to know a nation, you have to go inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but by how it treats its lowest cadre in the society. Kenyan prisons are more of punishment, retribution, disparagement and almost no effort whatsoever is put on rehabilitation. I am impressed by this Bill, ... view
• 28 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think having looked at the recommendation of the Chair of the Committee and bearing in mind that there is not a lot of activity that will be done at the prospecting level, I think it is fair to just retain the original figure considering that you are just prospecting. You are not even sure if there is anything. At the point of mining, you may need a big size of land. view
