According to the Committee, this Bill is also bad in Clause 11(b) because it vests jurisdiction over several matters in a criminal court which the law vests in civil courts. We find that a problem. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there are very many things that Hon. Murugara has said that reiterate what the Committee is saying. We have a person convicted in 11(a), in 11(b), and you are talking about the organiser. How do you deal with it? As Hon. Ng’eno rightfully told us, you may be infiltrated.

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Simon King’ara is my very good friend, but my brother, let me remind you of what Hon. Ng’eno said here. When we physically fought in this House over the security Bill, we were telling them to think about the future. Tomorrow, the law might not be thinking about you. Let me also remind you what Hon. Murugara has always reminded me: ‘The bad man’s principle’ in legal drafting. When you draft a law, more so, a law with penal consequences, imagine you are the one the law is going to deal with, then think through it. This is a ... view

• 22 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we rushed to Nairobi on being called to transact this urgent business. However, this is a day that English men would say the chicken have come home to roost or a day on which a prophet is seeing his prophesies actualised in his lifetime. When we had the COVID-19 outbreak, I spoke here passionately about reliable sources of revenue for Government. The Hansard will confirm that I questioned why the State was rushing to reduce Income Tax and VAT, among other taxes, which are the most reliable sources of revenue for the Government.

We did not know we would have a lockdown when I was speaking. What has happened now? I told the Government that there is a difference between saying we want to be good because the world is in difficulties; and we want to be good including relieving people in paying money whose effects they do not realise, but which are important to the Government.
