• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. First of all, I have learnt the fact that sometimes when somebody is arrested and taken to custody, he is literally confined until such a time that he falls sick. That is when the authority starts looking for his next of kin. I think this Bill has come at the right time. We have had cases where, as I mentioned earlier on, somebody is arrested, taken to prison or remanded and he cannot access some important facilities. I know of cases where the police, for example, deny children their rights. ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Last and not least, we have seen cases of overcrowding in our correctional facilities, as the last speaker said. If you go to prison in Nairobi, it does not matter The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: whether you are a criminal or a drunkard; you are thrown into a very crowded place. By the time you leave prison, you will have contracted some diseases that you did not have. We are talking of giving prisoners some liberty to say where they want to be confined. Of course, some people would rather go to prison than live out there because life out there is so bad that if you give them a chance, they would go to prison. Some of the youths said that they would rather stay in prison than come out and suffer the way ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, time has come for us to be able to streamline the operations of our institutions so that they can become rehabilitation centres. With those remarks, I beg to support Motion. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me a chance to, first of all, pay my personal tribute, as well as pay tribute on behalf of my people of Kwanza Constituency, to the late Kijana Wamalwa. I take this opportunity to remind Kenyans that Kijana Wamalwa was not an ordinary Kenyan. He was a vice- president of this country. He was, indeed, a hero. I am sure that Kenyans do not forget things so fast. We have made efforts to build a museum at his place to just have him remembered by future generations since he was not ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I believe that if the cruel hand of death did not take the late hon. Wamalwa, Kenyans from across the country would have elected him president. He was loved by everybody in the country. In the Central region, he was a darling of everybody. In the Coastal and Western regions, the situation was similar. At one point in time, he was in FORD(K). As the seconder of this Motion mentioned, during his tenure as the chairman of FORD(K), the whole of western region, except two constituencies, rallied behind the party. Today the western region is politically fragmented. As an hon. ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: represented by Chris Okemo, was won by KANU. The rest of the constituencies in that region belonged to FORD (K). He was, indeed, a hero. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Those of us who had a chance to interact and work with the late Kijana Wamalwa can attest to the fact that he was a very polished politician. I am a politician, but I cannot compare myself with the late Kijana Wamalwa. While I was in school, an election was held at the City Stadium, Nairobi, to elect the First Vice-Chairman of FORD(K). The late Jaramogi Oginga Odinga denied his son the chance of becoming the First Chairman of the party. Jaramogi said that Kijana Wamalwa should be the one to become the First Vice-Chairman of the party. Indeed, he ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: As a student of the late Kijana Wamalwa – who was my mentor – I can attest to the fact that he was respected in the whole country. At one time, hon. Musalia Mudavadi was a Member of Parliament and Vice-President for two months. Thereafter, he was swept aside. That showed how powerful the late Kijana Wamalwa was. I would like to tell those Members who have not had an opportunity to visit Trans Nzoia that the place where the remains of the late Kijana Wamalwa have been interred is hardly two kilometres from this institution. All we are asking ... view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: We are asking this House to give us a chance to rename Kitale Technical Institute as proposed by my good brother and neighbour, Chris Wamalwa; “Kijana Wamalwa University of Science and Technology.” There is quite a number of benefits I would like to highlight, so that we can move together. Firstly, the location of Kitale is very central. We get students from the Republic of South Sudan, Eastern Uganda, Ethiopia, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This has the effect of improving the economy of our region. Secondly, an upgrade of the institution will lead to introduction of academic ... view
