• 28 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I thank you. I support the amendment proposed by Hon. Nyikal because it seeks to delete the proposal in the Bill that the National Adoption Society should mean the Child Welfare Society of Kenya. The adoption process is law set under the Children Act. Let me confirm to Members that the African society that we have generally is a very adoptive society. Even the provisions in the Adoptions Act… view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Before I go back to what I am dealing with, could the Leader of the Majority Party be requested to withdraw that nonsensical statement. I think we should be cautious when we are raising issues affecting the integrity of Members. You have more children than me but my children are better taken care of. This has to be withdrawn. I have suffered a lot of these nonsensical remarks being made over me. I do not want nonsense. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Can he withdraw? Can it go on record please? view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, May I draw your attention to the fact that we are transacting a very serious business. In the adoption process, bodies like the child welfare societies are bodies which give background information in that process. I was confirming to Members that that process is already too tedious. You cannot make a body which is not as statutory body mandated to do specific things and adoption body outside the framework of adoption already in law. For that reason, I would support the amendments proposed by Hon. Nyikal and request colleagues to oppose this. In fact, we would ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. When a university is under an interim letter, it is at the incubation stage. That university is called a university college because it is attached to a mature college to be matured. What is checked is whether the university has the capacity to offer specific courses, whether the university has the human resource to what it needs to do as a university and assessments are done by the Commission for University Education. If the university for instance is to give a law degree, the Council for Legal Education will be assessing the capacities ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want the Acting Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education to be clear because what he said – and I think Hon. Kajwang’ has explained it a little differently – was that what we were dealing with earlier was appointment of the Chancellor and now we are dealing with the Vice Chancellor. However, you see in real sense, the Second Schedule is where a vacancy occurs in the office of the chancellor of a public university. I am guided by what Hon. T.J Kajwang’ is saying but what the Acting Chair said does not ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Okay. If he is withdrawing, it is fine. view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: Chair, sorry, I thought the Mover, the Majority Leader ought to explain to us what and how what he proposes changes the amendment. The Leader of the Majority Party is only adding the Judiciary among the bodies that should constitute the Law Reform Commission. To me, the Judiciary should be interpreting the law. You cannot have the Judiciary in the Law Reform Commission generally speaking. That is why when we looked at these amendments, we took the view as the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee that there was nothing to amend here. The amendment proposed in the Bill was The ... view
• 15 Nov 2018 in National Assembly: acceptable. How do we join the Judiciary? Who is the Judiciary to be represented here? The Leader of the Majority Party ought to explain further. view
