• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I want to congratulate the Mediation Committee. This Report was prepared in line with Article 115 of the Constitution read together with the National Assembly Standing Order No. 149 and the Senate Standing Order No. 154. Hon. Speaker, it is good that the Committee accepted the several amendments that introduced geo-referencing of water resources which are used in monitoring and evaluation. As per the Constitution, every Kenyan is entitled to enough clean water. I am very happy that this Committee considered Clauses 73 and 74 which used the word “licensed” instead of “accredited.” “Licensed” is a common word in the ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: drinking, their livestock and irrigation. The right to water and sanitation is guided by a set of common principles that are grounded in widely ratified human rights treaties. There should never be discrimination. I am surprised when people talk about misuse of public funds. In many counties, we have noted that benchmarking trips consume so much money which should be channelled to provision of water to citizens of those counties. These are good points that this Mediation Committee has come up with and because there are not many differences, I support. Thank you. view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to support this very important Bill, which is very timely. Put simply, money laundering is converting criminal income into assets that cannot be traced. Money laundering is divided into three stages. The first stage is placement. Money that is laundered is placed in a country. The second stage is layering that income by trying to cover it up. The final stage is integration into the national economy. Money laundering and crimes such as terrorism are interconnected. You cannot separate the two because they go hand in hand. Money laundering ... view
• 9 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: The tiger economies in the Far East whose economies grow very fast have dealt with money laundering. As has been said by my colleagues, the penalty is death sentence because they know what effect it can have on the GDP. It reduces the workforce to nothing. Instead of people having gainful employment, money laundering distorts the picture. If a country wants to access more money, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are willing to fund the countries that have put in place laws that govern and control money laundering because this is a worldwide threat. Money laundering ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion, which is of great importance to the people of Kenya. I wanted to put a correction that this is not a Motion sponsored by CORD. It is a Private Member’s Motion. So, let the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. A.B. Duale, not mislead the House that this is a party sponsored Motion. It is not. I am the Leader of the Minority Party and any party sponsored Motion has to pass through my signature. I have to sign it unless my signature was ... view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I have not signed it, unless my signature is forged. It is not a party sponsored Motion. I have asked Hon. Mwadeghu and he has not signed. I am the one who signs. All of us are here and so, it is not a party sponsored Motion. view
• 4 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: That is a correction I wanted to make. Hon. Mwadeghu is here and I am here, unless someone is trying to usurp our powers. I oppose the Motion. view
