• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Bill. But while appreciating the issues that have been raised in the Bill, there are some other concerns that I will put forward as I make my submissions. Hon. Speaker, Sir, Section 9 of the Bill is good because it recognizes the power of the Chairperson to make the proceedings of the Tribunal orderly and expeditious. But it also recognizes devolution because this is the time we have gone into the counties. There should be devolution in every centre of power. Every centre of any institution that has been set up ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: tribunal was being made, then by publicizing that decision and the reasons thereof, then judicial notice will be taken that I have gotten the knowledge. But without providing for the reasonable time within which that act has be conducted, this particular provision is bound to be abused. Hon. Speaker, Sir, with the Chairman present, I would pray that Section 29 (9) is amended in a way that there is provision for reasonable time, may be, 14 days within which any tribunal must publish its decisions and the reasons thereof. Hon. Speaker, I appreciate this Bill because among other things that ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Much as our system is an adversarial system of justice, we also appreciate that matters can be settled out of court with the consent of the parties. This is properly provided for in this Bill. Therefore, with the concerns that are raised in this Bill, I believe that it is a good Bill and it is implementable. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, that might not be a very good clause considering the accessibility to information as per Chapter 4 of the Constitution. Maybe, that is something that is also of concern and the Committee should address it. Thank you for that. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think what this House has done today is to ensure that each and every Kenyan, wherever they are, is protected. We know that Kenyans are very hard working people and if anything, what we require is the law that will protect them from situations that make most of the small holder investors bankrupt when it comes to collapse of banks. Therefore, by passing these amendments into law it means that this House is alive to the fact that Kenyans out there need to be protected and the only way to protect investors and ... view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We can share this microphone. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker; I thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology for donating this time. I am happy that she is the one who has caught my eye and not the Speaker’s eye. I appreciate the effort that has been put by this Committee in bringing this report forth. I support it. There is a reason why the TSC was entrenched in the Constitution. The past Constitution never used to have the TSC. When Kenyans realized the importance of the TSC they decided that it must be a constitutional body that ought ... view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: What I am saying is that we will support this report. The Committee has done its work. These people are eligible once this report is supported. I support this report 100 per cent and I honor the Committee and its Chairperson. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I truly appreciate the sentiments of my defender in Parliament, hon. Waititu. But, I think as County Members of Parliament, we are busy enough. We will appreciate also because we are the mothers of this country to carry out that role. I do not think it is in order for him to attempt to create for us a job because we already have jobs that we are doing. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion brought by hon. James Kimaru. In doing so, I take notice of the fact that the majority of the Kenyans in dairy farming are small-scale farmers. As Kenyans, we know that most of our farms nowadays are small as a result of a lot of adjudication and sub-divisions. We find that most of the farmers concentrate on zero grazing among other activities to be able to meet their basic needs. Therefore, if our population relies mostly on milk production then it is only important that they are properly ... view
