• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: One serious challenge in the rural communities especially pastoralists and marginalised communities is lack of access to justice. I come from a constituency which does not have any court; the lowest court up to the High Court. We are always forced to travel long distances in pursuit of justice. Our people pay colossal amounts of money to travel long distances so that they can be heard in courts. I believe once this Bill is implemented, we will have access to courts. We will not be travelling far distances in pursuit of justice. I know that it is expensive establishing courts ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First, I want to appreciate the fact that the East African Community Peace and Security Protocol and Mutual Peace and Security Pact further strengthen the Sessional Paper on Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, which was recently passed by this House. That is an indication that it cascades security matters to a regional level. Regional problems and global issues can best be handled through concerted efforts. Issues like terrorism, illicit arms, human trafficking, drugs and narcotics, which are prevalent in this country, can only be handled if all the regional actors put their efforts together. That can ... view
• 1 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: incursions that always happen on our soil from Somalia and Ethiopia. These issues must be resolved. There should be respect for territorial integrity and the sovereignty of this country, if we are to benefit from regional pacts on peace related matters. The issue of Migingo Island and the Elemi triangle, which have been outstanding for quite some time, are prerequisites for peace if pacts are to bear fruits. The Pact is very good. It proposes the creation of a standing force. I appreciate that we require a standing force to respond to regional issues beyond our capacity. However, our democracies ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Report is straightforward. I do agree with the Senate's proposal that the Director of Veterinary Services should replace the Attorney-General. Indeed that is in order. The Director of Veterinary Services is the technical officer in charge of matters of fertilizer and animal foodstuffs. It is quite befitting. The Attorney-General can always be available to offer advisory services to Government institutions. That aside, I am a little bit concerned with the way the Board is being constituted. Governance is the key issue in the management of our institutions in this country. It gives sweeping ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: our institutions. We are in a time when our institutions must mature and they should be independent of any political manipulations and any other side shows. The appointment of the Chair is not very clear. It gives the appointment entirely to the Cabinet Secretary which means he can use the chance to suit his own individual whims. On the membership too, there are no clear criteria on selection of Board members. It would have made better sense if the Chair is elected by the membership. What the Cabinet Secretary should be able to do is just to constitute the membership ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This country has been prone to a vicious cycle of conflicts since Independence. Every single year so many lives, property and livelihoods have been lost to conflicts. Our vulnerability to conflict is suggestive of our instability as a nation. We have been prone to so many types of conflicts, mostly inter and intra clan conflicts. We have also had land based conflicts and political conflicts. With that immense challenge, it is unfortunate that there has been no policy guideline to handle conflicts in this country except for the National Steering Committee on Peace Building ... view
• 20 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: underlying causes of insecurity beyond this policy. This includes what causes insecurity like historical land injustices, livelihood challenges and--- view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Articles 1 and 2 of our Constitution clearly stipulate that the sovereign power is vested in the citizenship of this country and can only be exercised through the Constitution. Article 2 of the Constitution specifically stipulates that that sovereign power can be exercised, by extension, through its elected representatives. The elected representatives are in the Houses of Parliament, which are the Senate and the National Assembly. The National Assembly has a very important role in overseeing the other organs of Government. It is only the Legislature that has the power to protect the public ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Briefly, I wish to appreciate the work of the Chair and his members. They have done great work. The passage of this Insolvency Bill provides a comprehensive legal framework in the management of ailing legal businesses for sure. Further, the referencing of this Bill to the Companies Bill indicates that there is that systematic reference to ensure that there is harmonious legislation in the House. That will help us prevent some discordance in legal terms. With those brief remarks, I support. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The intention of the Bill is good and in consonance with our Constitution. The creation of the envisaged business registration services, whose objects include registration, keeping an inventory of businesses, doing research, offering policy advice and collaborating with other state actors is well-thought. On registration, the Bill intends to streamline operations and bring in efficiency so that people can easily register businesses. This will undoubtedly motivate starters who are willing to do business. This will remove registration hurdles, bottlenecks, corruption, eliminate hatred and other unnecessary bureaucracies that have hindered the rural folk and poor ... view
