• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, all that I was saying before I was rudely interrupted was that we have a tendency here where Members of Parliament, or candidates, ferry people from neighbouring countries and the Government must be very careful about this. The Government must be very careful on this because we have people coming here as mercenaries. They come and help people go through; by the way I have a warning for our people. If you get people from across the border to helping you go to Parliament, or get whatever position you want, the people who are going to ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am saying that the question of people crossing the border from Uganda, Tanzania and Somalia to vote and go back is an issue that the Government should be very careful about; we are saying it should actually be able to put measures in place for vetting at the borders to be done properly. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: My neighbour from Sirisia is also saying he has the same problem. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I want to take this opportunity to speak as a parent. I quite agree that the Bill gives us opportunity to get some of the issues right. I know there are areas where there is need for us to make some amendments when it comes to the Third Reading. Basically, this is a good Bill. First, it is very real, basic and deals with day to day issues that we should not start pointing fingers at each other. In the meaning of “domestic violence”, we have quite a number of issues which we ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, hon. Speaker, we have had cases because children have been raised in very hostile environments. The father and mother fight day and night. What happens? Children disappear. Some of the children we are seeing out there are from such families. You will find who comes from a violent area is the gang you are seeing out there. They have been brought up by parents who have been fighting over and over again. Therefore, this Bill provides for that. I am alive to the fact that we are going to have some amendments, but basically this is what we go ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: a parent burnt a child’s hands because she suspected the child had stolen a mobile phone. That is something we see every day. This Bill is providing for that. You can imagine a child’s hands are burnt and we saw it recently. He was suspected by the mother to have stolen a mobile phone. That is the violence we see every day. I also see men beating up wives and the wives cannot go away because they have nowhere to go. They are already married for 20 years or 15 years and they have children. She is now tied to ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly but not least, I want to say that we had cases where stepmothers, stepfathers and stepbrothers abuse stepdaughters and defile them. It is very common and this Bill is providing for that. So, without wasting so much time, I support this Bill because it is basic. It is real; it is what is happening today and we should pass it so that we can rein in some sanity in the family. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am also extremely concerned because my constituency is on the border. I understand this morning people are crossing without being checked at the border. As much as the Chairlady has said that there is awareness from the Ministry, she is 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
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: only talking about the airports. However, panya routes particularly in Busia which is very close to my constituency and the entire western Kenya, Nyanza and now Turkana, pose a problem. This was highlighted by the media. Could we get assurance from the Chairlady that the Ministry has stepped in to provide facilities and is checking the people are using panya routes? Who are these people she is saying are aware? Awareness could just be in the Press. The people who are supposed to handle the entry points are the immigration officers, customs officers and the police. Have they been sensitized ... view
