• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, may I thank all hon. Members who have supported this Motion and also thank the two who have opposed it; Mr. Mungatana and Dr. Khalwale, for good reasons. I want to assure them that I will relay their genuine concerns to the Commissioners. Many Kenyans are not happy with their performance but where I come from, there is a small fish called Nambale or Omena . They say this fish may not be very tasty but it has very good soup. So you might not like the Commissioners and how they have behaved but the soup ... view
• 2 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to give notice of the following Motion. THAT, pursuant to Section 20(4) (a) of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act (2008), this House approves the extension of the term of the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) for a period of three months with effect from 4th of May, 2012. view

• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I come from a farming community. My late father was a great farmer in the 1960s and 70s, and so was my late brother. Growing up in Trans Nzoia, the food basket of this country, I believe it is possible for this country to do something that will remove it from the list of food insecure nations of the world. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: I know that this is only possible through good policies and serious policy interventions. I believe that this is one of the best policies that have come along in the agricultural sector after a long time. It is amazing that in a nation that has 80 per cent of its citizenry; 80 per cent of its population, drawing their livelihoods from agriculture, not much has been done in terms of policy development to ensure that this country becomes food secure. Just through policy, we can touch the lives of 80 per cent of our nation. In so doing, we will ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Information is power. We know that in the 1960s and the 70s, we had extension workers going out to the farmer and advising the farmer on the type of seed that is good for that particular region and the right amount and type of fertilizer to be applied. After sometime in the 1980s when we had the infamous structural adjustment programme (SAPs), this affected many of the things that had been put in place at the time. In fact, when we were trying to pull out the Government from most of these sectors, it affected agriculture. I remember cattle dips ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think that there was the launch of the transformative framework for the Judiciary and it was a pity that many of the hon. Members did not attend it. But the programmes and plans of the Judiciary were set out clearly, to ensure that we progressively ensure access to justice by all Kenyans in all counties. We intend to have High Courts in every county. You will be surprised to know the amount of money given to the Judiciary. It is aimed at ensuring that this access to justice is actually made a reality. So, I ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to oppose the amendment. In a country where almost every day you are reading of a rape case--- If you did not see the story of a priest raping--- Last week there was another story of another priest defiling a little girl. To come forward to lodge a complaint that you have been raped is not an easy thing. However, to make it so dangerous for you to report, the burden becomes too much on the victim. We are saying that the answer lies in perhaps strengthening the provisions on perjury--- Hon. Attorney-General, there ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended in the proposed amendments to the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Act, 2008 on page 1118 by deleting the proposed amendment to Section 52(1). Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the amendment is on page 3661. That will give back the winding up period as provided under that section to remain three months instead of the 45 days we had proposed. So, I am proposing that this be deleted. As we speak, the TJRC is currently in the process of writing their report. They were supposed to have handed in ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, first, I wish to clarify that this is not one of the constitutional Commissions. We need to clarify that bit from the outset. It is also important to note that the life of this Commission will expire in around September, 2012. We are going into an election. We have the Kenya National Human Rights Commission, whose term is also coming to an end around the same time. As we go into view
