• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Article 66 of the Constitution is very clear. On regulation of land use and property, the State may regulate the use of any land or any interest in or right over any land in the interest of defence, public safety and public order and goes ahead to mention many of them. The import of this provision is that the Physical Planning Act already enacted by this House, in fact, in existence since 1996, provides that there will be a relevant physical development plan of an area. If your community land falls in that area, surely, you ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, I oppose again, Hon Emanikor’s amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to support Hon. Waititu. In the wider realm of this matter, this country already has an authority, the NTSA, whose role is mainly transport safety. It should guide the development of transport infrastructure in a way that safety is ensured. The NTSA is not only supposed to work in urban centres at night, they are also supposed to look at safety in rural areas and other areas where transport services are offered. The Budget they get is supposed to enable them to ensure that when KeRRA and KeNHA are developing roads, designing zebra ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. I thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for donating to me the two minutes, so that my voice can also be on the HANSARD. Constitutionally, we are a multi-party democracy. Parties play a very important role in how governance is practised. I would like to urge that when we go to the Committee of the whole House stage, we should improve this law to help transform the way parties are managed. In this country, only the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party conducts ... view

• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Today I do not know whether my card is working. Every time I put it on, I do not see any service. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think this amendment is in order because we have all along in the Bill changed “the authority to the council”. So, it is in order to provide a new schedule that deals with the council. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion for agreement with the Report of the Committee of the whole House be amended as follows:- By inserting the words “subject to re-committal of Clauses 7, 28, 49 and 54”. Clause 7 is about emergency health care. Even as we put the Question, Members had divergent opinions. Clause 28 is on the composition of the Kenya Health Professions Oversight Authority, where Members felt that too many Government officers were part of the Authority. Clause 49 is about making of wills and donation of organs for medical research. Clause 54 ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as you are aware, emergency health care is a constitutional right. Deferring emergency health care provision to the setting up of a future fund cannot be part of the duties of this House. This House has no responsibility to postpone the provisions of the Constitution. When the Constitution has already provided that emergency healthcare is a constitutional right, you cannot pass a law that postpones provision of emergency healthcare. Clause 7(2) provides that no person shall be denied emergency treatment by the health service provider of first contact provided the provisions of section 54 (1)(e) have ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: For tidy re-committal of these clauses, we agreed on one re-committal but Clauses 28, 49 and 54 are to be moved by the Committee Chair. view
