• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am requesting that you allow us only 14 days. We have delineated these issues very clearly. They are about seven of them and we have tasked our legal team to research into them. Hon. Speaker, with your leave, we had agreed we will be meeting towards the end of the week to make a resolution on them. Then we do a report which can guide the process. We request for 14 days. I urge hon. colleagues to enable us do a good job and not the prefatory job we are being pushed into. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to be allowed to ask this Question to the Cabinet Secretary falling under the charge of the committee in which I serve as Member. I have been pursuing this matter, but being a Member of the committee, sometimes it is thought that I am abusing my office as member. Allow me to raise this Question to the Cabinet Secretary in my representative roles as a Member of Parliament for Homa Bay Constituency. Hon. Speaker, I rise to ask Question No. 092/2021 to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. (i) What steps is ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. With your blessings, I am becoming a Chairperson very soon. We always make a step every time you have spoken well. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I am moving the Law of Succession (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.75 of 2019). This is a very small proposed amendment to the Law of Succession Act, but an amendment with very far-reaching and material consequences. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and Hon. Members, I am largely looking to amend Section 29 of the current Law of Succession Act. If Members would care to look at the current Section 29 and how we are redrafting it, this is what we seek to achieve. A look at the current Section 29 indicates that husbands, where wives die, are not entitled to ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: motivation, is that “a spouse” shall mean husband or a wife or wives as recognised under the Marriage Act. We passed the new Marriage Act in the last Parliament and we have not brought the Law of Succession Act to be attune to it. So, I am saying any spouse can inherit where their spouses die and they can administer the estate for the family. However, the spouse must also be the spouse as defined in the Marriage Act, not a bare frame that we currently have which can make a man coming to this country with a fellow man ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there was a gentleman called Chacha whose name floated around Parliament the other time. I just want to confirm that it is possible for him to go to court and claim money and he will be granted. The female Members are lucky because the mischievous males are not bold enough to go to court. If Chacha was to go to court, assuming those things were a reality, we will be in a very messy situation. In good faith, I am seeking to open inheritance of the estate of a deceased spouse to any spouse, irrespective of ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want to request the Chairman of all Catholic MPs in the country, Hon. Chris Wamalwa, who believes in the protection of the family and only those within the family, to second. view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the manner of his presentation, he is seeking information. I am rising on a point of order to ask whether he is right to mislead the House as regards to what the Bill seeks to do in terms of definitions. He says the definition of “spouse” is different from what is in the Marriage Act. In this Bill, I am saying “spouse” shall have the meaning as in the Marriage Act. I have borrowed the definition from the existing law. Hon. Duale says that a former wife should inherit a deceased person’s estate. I want ... view
• 11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: the marriage. So, there is no reason for a former spouse to come for a share of the deceased. You do not understand these things. Allow us to explain to you. view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
