• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir, whereas, I appreciate the answer given by the Minister, could he give an undertaking to this House that, indeed, the UN which is ready to put up to 150,000 houses out of mud blocks which are degradable and which in its absence will entail the refugees going out there and cutting trees to put their shelter, in addition to using it for firewood, that he is going to take immediate action to make sure that the UN is allowed to proceed on with that project which has already started but right now ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have a problem using this system because I am always up there and so, it is giving me a problem. I wanted to rise, but I cannot. Even as Parliament, the universal practice all over the world is that when you go to a place and you are given a gift, you come and declare, bring it to Parliament and use it for Parliament’s archives here. So, for somebody who is supposed to regulate these things and you allow him to be given inducements and fellowships, these are tantamount ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is hon. Charles Kilonzo in order to equate a commercial activity by a commercial entity to an ideological situation. When we accept these things as Parliament, it is because of the promotion of democratic space of human rights and other values. But in this case, that is not the product being sold. The product being sold by the State University of New York (SUNY) Kenya and other people is those ideals and values that we share, which are universal. But these people are selling something that we believe, in a ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am actually glad that the hon. C. Kilonzo has brought up this issue. I am a stickler for the sovereignty and independence of our country. I regulated SUNY or any other agency that tries to come and deal with us. They are working with us on our terms. So, that is basically how the position is. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, whereas we would like to celebrate with him, he is taking away our lady Members who are supposed to support this Bill. So, if he wants his appointment to be really celebrated, he should come and participate for the sake of the children of Kenya. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also oppose this amendment because it changes the text from being prescriptive to one in which we have to qualify the proof of intent itself. We do not have any machinery to be able to judge on that. So, I oppose it. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Fair enough. If it is the Cabinet Secretary then I support the amendment. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also want to oppose the amendment. The right to privacy is by and large in respect of a private place. A public place for manufacturing, like an industry, is not a private place. I do not think the Constitution protects factories and industries. Otherwise, the public health workers who go to butcheries to check whether the meat being sold is fit for human consumption or not could also be told that they cannot do so without a court order. You can imagine the situation in which we consume meat everyday and every time we ... view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it also says “in which the officer believes, on reasonable grounds, that:- (a) a designated or complimentary food product is or has been produced or stored, manufactured and packaged; (b) anything used in production;” So, parts (a), (b) and (c) qualifies any place, which means you cannot go into the private house of somebody. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also oppose this amendment because by deleting paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Clause, we are clearly tying to just have a shell of an Act. What will a shell of an Act do? You must have the substance therein to enforce the Act. So, I oppose it. It is very obvious. It should not take long. view
