• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The only thing we would want to say is that this figure is too high. How I wish there was room for renegotiation so that it is brought downwards. It should not strain other sectors. Resources that would otherwise be available for roads and those that would have otherwise gone to Level 5 hospitals have all been included in the allocation to county governments. What is good is that this is a negotiated position. The other thing that persuades me to support this BPS is the fact that I come from an agricultural zone and agriculture has been recognised in ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, allow me to associate myself with this Bill and thank the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for the good work it has done, which is very timely. Looking at the way the honourable Member for Nyali has presented his case, especially looking at his other life before coming to the House, being Jicho Pevu, a programme he ran that really made us get to know exactly what happens behind the scenes… The way he has presented the case makes me feel that he has a lot of knowledge on ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The Bill prescribes the various penalties related to the offences in possession and trafficking narcotics and psychotropic substances. The large interpretation of this is that now the police will not go for the small fish. It is obvious that when you walk into my farm, you are going to see marijuana or cannabis sativa planted on the farm. However, now what is happening is they are allowing the police to really go deeper to any possession of the substance and the traffickers of the substance who are the big boys in this game. The value chain is not that small ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: coming from and distributing it in a chain that he knows. Therefore, this Bill is giving the police the opportunity, the right and the way to attack and approach the whole issue. They will not just tell you that now you are in possession of this. No! I am reading this together with the article of evidence in terms of the way Hon. Millie talked about Penal Code 118. The police will no longer just tell you that you have been found in possession of this. There must now be evidence through this Bill. The way the Committee has worked ... view

• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order especially following the legal opinion that Hon. Kaluma has given. For the benefit of those of us who are not lawyers, would I be in order to suggest that you make a ruling instead of putting it to vote? Taking a vote might allow this House to vote for an illegality should the Motion be in the manner that Hon. Kaluma has put it. I am requesting that you give a ruling as to whether this House is debating a properly constituted Bill. Thank you, Hon. Speaker view
