• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Let me thank the Mover of this Motion, Hon. (Dr.) Tecla Tum. It is the appropriate time to keep on discussing about cancer, which is an epidemic in this country. It threatens to kill most of us purely because we are either ignorant; we have not been informed or there are no sufficient facilities to ensure that we learn of our status in time. Recently, we debated at length on the establishment of cancer screening and treatment centres in the constituencies. We passed that Motion. It is a Motion that awaits implementation by the Ministry of Health, through the Committee ... view

• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am 100 per cent sure that although Tharaka Nithi only has three Members of Parliament, it would not be comfortable for them to have two Members whatsoever. In fact, it has more than three, it also has a woman representative. I rise to support the Bill on the amendment of the IEBC Act. It is important that we streamline the working of the IEBC. It is not certain how the affairs of the IEBC are being run especially by three commissioners. Initially, we had nine commissioners. There was an amendment to their Act and they ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: We should always have a standing selection panel so that as soon as a vacancy arises within the IEBC, it is filled immediately and the workings of the IEBC continue unhindered. view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: I am happy with the proposals we have made and I have to point out that the Law Society of Kenya is one of the proposed members of the selection panel. I know the Leader of the Majority Party has cast aspersions on that society simply because he received a letter that he possibly did not read entirely. The function of the Law Society of Kenya includes advising everybody; the country, citizens, the Government and even aiding the courts on matters relating to the law. A lot of law is involved in IEBC work, in the persons who are supposed ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The Leader of the Majority Party has also given me the letter, which he asked me to return to sender. He told me the sender is the President of the Law Society of Kenya, but I believe he had not read it. This letter is from the secretary and the CEO of the Law Society of Kenya. The Law Society of Kenya is inviting certain persons interested in the Supreme Court Advisory Opinion No.3 of 2019. The letter is saying that it has already convened two meetings, invited people of interest to attend, so that it can mediate or arbitrate ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you. I stand guided, Hon. Speaker. I was trying to justify that, in fact, the tirade we got from the Leader of the Majority Party may not have been factually correct. I stand guided. The reason the LSK has been included is as I have said, that we have to give advice both to the Government and the people of Kenya as far as the law is concerned. As I support the Bill, which I think we should pass, it is important that we have a properly constituted IEBC for purposes of moving forward and discharging the very important ... view
• 31 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: With those remarks, Hon. Speaker, I support. Let us move as a House and fill in the lacuna that has existed as far as this law is concerned and come up with a law that can guide the country when it comes to matters election. Matters election are emotive in this country. We The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
