• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: defence or protecting your family and property. For the first time, this Bill has created a human face in managing our wildlife. Let it be known to everybody that wildlife is there because people are there. When you look at the wildlife areas, there are communities that protect the wildlife and not the other way round. Therefore, when we talk of the KWS playing the role and the mandate of protection, they must know that the communities which live with the wildlife are the real protectors of this wildlife and this is what this Bill has provided. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Please, ask him to go back to his Chair because he is a problem. On the same note, when you look at the issue of pollution, when you go to some parks, some of the hotels and lodges discharge effluent and waste into the rivers and the environment. They will be made accountable for the pollution of wildlife habitat and the ecosystem. That means that hotels and lodges will be accountable for any pollution and, therefore, we will have a cleaner environment and ecosystem for our wildlife to thrieve. That is what the Bill has provided. I am also happy ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also wish to request the Leader of Majority Party to consider asking the Executive to come up with rules on how to deal with criminal activities like this one. If our people are taken to The Hague because of assumed criminal activities in the country, why would somebody from a foreign country be allowed to run away and be free in his country? We want the American Government to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for this Statement; I particularly thank His Excellency the President for taking a very bold decision.

• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, indeed, this particular clause provides the latitude for Government, both county and national to address issues of calamity and issues which may be caused by international conditions where the Government has no choice other than to address it as it is. To try and remove this is actually going to make the Government not support the county governments and even itself. So, I wish to ask my colleague not to withdraw it because it is a very crucial provision. view

• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to very strongly support the Motion moved by hon. Paul Koinange, my good friend and brother for many years. I congratulate him more so for being the first hon. Member to bring a Motion by Private Notice. I would also like to thank him for doing so. This particular Motion is very deep in my heart because when I was an Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Health, I and Dr. Nyikal worked very hard to create a comprehensive medical scheme for the people of Kenya. We even went further to ensure that accident prone ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. First, I would like to thank the Minister for bringing it in the House because it is very important. We all come from different cultural backgrounds with different values. Those from the pastoral communities know that a chief is actually the father of that community. That is why most disputes in our communities are sorted out by chiefs and they work day and night as my colleagues have said. These are people who are able to settle family matters. When a man quarrels with his wife, they do not go ... view
