• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House, Today, Thursday, 19th March, 2015:- The Reports of the Select Committee on Regional Integration on: The Nordic East African Community Trade and Investment Conference, Gavle, Sweden from 27th -28th May, 2014; and, The Benchmarking Visit to Canada from 11th - 15th June, 2014. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I state that this clause should not be deleted since we are legislating on domestic violence. It is a special case that has been there. We have to consider some situations as special interest groups. In passing legislation, what we need to look at is whether there is any prejudice being caused by that particular provision or whether there is any conflict. I do not think the Chairperson has been able to tell us if there would be any conflict with any other laws if this clause is retained. Therefore, I do not agree that we delete it. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second the Motion. This is a great day for the women and men of Kenya because this is a Bill that is going to support the entire family. It is not just one gender, it is not a gender issue; it is a whole family set up issue. I, therefore, second. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me pass my congratulations to the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because it is under his chairmanship that we have been able to rise to the occasion and ensure that domestic violence is recognised within an African setup. I have experienced situations where persons have experienced domestic violence in a family and when they report such a situation, they are sent away and told that it is not a matter for the police or it is not a matter that is supposed to be investigated. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: This Bill gives every law-enforcing officer the capacity and the locus standi to intervene and arrest a situation that would otherwise mess up a family. I appreciate the Eleventh Parliament and the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for going through this Bill and passing it in the manner it is. I appreciate and thank you all. We have done it as the Eleventh Parliament. view

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is just a Procedural Motion. The importance of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) cannot be downplayed. It is important that we look at the nominees that have been sent to the Committee. The JSC is the body that nominates, vets and disciplines judges and magistrates. The JSC is a very important arm of the Government and, therefore, we have to follow the procedure that has been established. Most importantly, the composition of the JSC must meet the values set out in Article 10 of the Constitution. Therefore, in order for the Committee to be able to come ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by thanking my colleague and MP for Gatundu North, hon. Njenga, for finding it fit to present this Motion to this House for debate. I believe that this is the right time for this House to address the issues that have been raised in this Motion by my brother, hon. Njenga. If we need to restore this country to its lost glory in as far as the youth and our men are concerned, then this is a Motion that not only addresses the root cause of the problem but also looks ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: we visit that there are street children who pick these bottles, put glue in them and you find them sniffing glue from these bottles. These are the bottles that at one point in time had some alcoholic drink in them. So, we are asking ourselves: Are we taking care of our youth? Are we taking care of the environment? How are we dealing with waste management? Therefore, this Motion comes in to respond to that question. We have been saying that we speak to our youth as they are the leaders of tomorrow. Our youth cannot be the leaders of ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: not just passing Motions in this House, so that they go and gather dust somewhere else. Let it work on it. I beg you to ensure that this Motion is passed and thank you my brother, hon. Njenga, for bringing this Motion. I therefore, second the Motion as presented. Thank you. view
