• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, research shows that very few police officers have the skills to collect, document and preserve crucial evidence such as DNA. In C.K. Achand and 11 others versus Commissioner of Police and three others in 2013, the court observed that failure of the police to enforce existing defilement laws was partly contributed to lack of proper training. It directed the National Police Framework to be made a mandatory component of the training curricular to all police training colleges and institutions. The proposed Section 40C of the Act requires both the national Government and the county governments, in collaboration with ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Clause 10 of the Bill seeks to amend Section 46 of the Act to outline the matters to be covered by the National Policy Framework prepared by the CS to guide the implementation and administration of the Act. The amendment proposes that the framework provides for promotion of awareness and civic education on sexual offences and cooperation between the Government and the civil society in the enforcement of the Act. view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: As I end, Clause 11 of the Bill introduces a New Section 46A immediately after Section 46 of the Act. The proposed section requires the CS for Education, Science and Technology and the ministry responsible for schools to prescribe guidelines for the inclusion of sex education at some agreed levels in the school syllabus. Such education will go a long way in ensuring that our children are natured to be sexually responsible and to respect each other’s dignity. On the issue of sex education, Busia County which I represent, from January to December 2016 had 9,167 girls who dropped out ... view

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As I stand to contribute on the Statement that has been made by Hon. Ichung’wah, it is important to know, as a country, that we have very many unresolved murders up to date. It is of great concern when one Member of Parliament (MP) speaks about his life. He has spoken about the militias that have come up, especially when we are approaching elections. We have militias in Busia and Mombasa. We will have militias everywhere especially when we are approaching the election period. So, it is an issue that should be taken seriously and that Petition should be looked ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Ichung’wah has spoken about the lawyer who has disappeared and it is a big concern. A human being cannot just disappear for two or three days without his family knowing where he is. That has been a big concern. Now that he has talked about his life, it is more worrying. We immediately need to have Hon. Ichung’wah’s security beefed up so that he can be secure. His constituents do not have the power to protect him. So, it is important that the Cabinet Secretary (CS), Maj.-Gen. (Rtd.) Nkaissery, looks into that matter and protects Hon. Ichung’wah. It is ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support Hon. Abdullswamad’s amendment. It is good to understand the Constitution. Some of these roles are no longer in the Constitution. Why are we making mistakes? view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, maybe Hon. Otuoma wanted to speak to me. I said Hon. Abdullswamad. We should tell Kenyans the truth that the roles on this amendment no longer exist. We should look for agencies to identify people who will be in these committees. We do not need the Deputy County Commissioners and these other people proposed to be in the committee. Under (h)(ii), “a chairperson shall be appointed at the first sitting of the committee from the persons appointed under paragraphs (e), (f), (g) and (h).” A Member of Parliament is involved in appointment. This is political. Where ... view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As I stand to support the amendments on the Bill, I urge Kenyans, as we move towards 2017, to promote the conduct of free and fair elections and a climate of tolerance in which political parties’ activities may take place without coercion, intimidation or reprisals. view
• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: My colleague has talked about the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). Without belabouring the issue of IEBC, we have raised the issue of a referee not being a player. We have raised how the IEBC can be impartial on some issues. It is out in the public domain. As we move towards 2017, many Kenyans have come out and they are not necessarily members of the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD). This is not a CORD issue. This is an issue for Kenyans. We need all stakeholders to have a round table discussion on how IEBC can be ... view
