• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The greatest challenge of a modern state is that some of the aspects that can be done by other sectors of society like inculcation of values and principles are now being quantified as part of a legal or policy framework. The truth of the matter is that even when we are attempting to actually move from there and make sure that people espouse such principles and values, it remains largely a social endeavour and a function of other forms and mechanisms that are not within the purview of the formal structure of Government. If you look ... view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the ratification of the treaty. Indeed, Kenya is a transit country. The economy of this country is around the transit of goods and service. So, the Port of Mombasa is very critical in terms of revenue generation for this country. However, there have been complaints from our neighbours Uganda and Tanzania, particularly view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by inserting the following new paragraphs immediately after paragraph (m) – (ma) a person nominated by a registered body representing a national association of residents; (mb) a person nominated by the National Council for Persons with Disability. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to make two observations. First, if you look at the various legislative proposals, it is important if all of them, particularly Bills, are numbered based on proposals. Members are making very good efforts, but they get frustrated because of the very convoluted manner in which one has to go through to seek approvals. If you remember sometime back, this House was accused wrongly that Members were not making enough legislative proposals. Just listening to my Chairman, Hon. Mutava Musyimi, those 28 other Bills are Bills that are not mentioned as proposals from certain Members. Further to ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Personally, I did some Motions in March and now the Third Session of the 11th Parliament is nearly over, yet they have never seen the Floor of the House. So, it is very frustrating because when we come to this august House, we want to legislate and have persuasive ideas, but if they are frustrated by red tape in Parliament, it becomes very disappointing. If you look at Article 114 of the Constitution, if the Budget and Appropriations Committee refuses to give a go ahead, does it mean that this plenary fails to benefit from such persuasions because that matter ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this policy paper. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: 25 Wednesday 2nd December, 2015(A) It is interesting because the decade for education for sustainable development came to an end last year. It lasted between 2005 and 2014. I was among 25 young people across the world who represented the youth in the Summit of 2009 in Bonn, Germany. One of the aspects in this regard is that the forces against ESD vis-à-vis the intervening measures are very strong. We are looking at the conspicuous consumption of the environment and environmental related derivatives. It falls squarely into the issue of developing versus developed countries, and a sense of industrialization. The ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support the proposals of the Committee because the Bill is very progressive in terms of ensuring that persons with disabilities are represented in the DFC Committees. However, at the Board level, they had been left out. The previous proposal by the drafters was five persons but they only considered gender and other professional aspects. It would be important to also have the representation of persons with disabilities so that there can be an input at the national level with regard to decisions that affect members of the public through the way ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, is Hon. Lati in order to mislead the House that if you miss a tooth you are classified as disabled? There is a very elaborate where to ascertain who is a disabled member of the society. Article 260 of the Constitution defines disability. Also, according to the National Council for Persons with Disability one has to be registered if one is disabled. So, it is not possible-- view
