• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to ask the Mover to give the import of the amendment; reading through it, it says that if you submit a design on something you are bidding for, by such submission, you forfeit your copyrights. Is that really proper? view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I beg your indulgence--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to cross over like a kangaroo. I wish to support this new Bill. I want to support it on the basis that for a very long time, there are many people in this country and in other jurisdictions who have been affected by the various anti-personnel mines which are meant for various individuals other than those that they finally end up maiming. If you remember, there are so many Kenyans who have discovered some of the weapons that have been left for so many years in their gardens and they ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Most importantly, I would want to imagine that if this business were to be lucrative like the way weaponry is lucrative in the globe as we know it, then this would work as a deterrent. We have had incidents of individuals like one time in Narok, where an individual was found with a lot of ammunitions that they could not explain what they were for. I think the bill will ensure that such does not happen. I also want to imagine that it speaks to the issue of ensuring that we solve our human conflicts in a more democratic The ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: and mutual agreement kind of way rather than just resorting to using weapons that then would be destructive to the current and future generations. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those remarks, I would strongly support this Bill. I know Articles 2, 5 and 6 of the Constitution speak to the fact that we, as a country, must domesticate international treaties that we are party to like the Ottawa Convention. I want to also imagine that therefore, this action is part of the domestication process and when this law becomes part of our law, it can also be admissible in court ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the PAP. Before I proceed, I want to make an observation. There is need to check the registration system here. Even when you log in successfully, you are consistently missing. I am a very ardent attendant of Parliament yet I do not appear in the attendance list. Maybe this affects many other hon. Members. That is one thing that needs to be checked. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am talking about the log-in system. Even if you log-in successfully, you seem to be missing. I just want to raise that concern. Looking at my attendance, it is very sparse yet I attend each and every session of Parliament. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: No! It is not about the proceedings, it is the actual registration of attendance. Those are two issues, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, please allow me to raise the concern. It is a bit discouraging to see that you are listed as not attending yet you attend. It also has a remunerative component. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I laud the move to make the PAP the legislative wing of the African Union. This is very commendable. This is so because I have attended African Union (AU) meetings in the past in Addis Ababa, where we just make sweeping declarations. However, when you look at them, they may not be effected because they lack the full force of the law. ... view
• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Nations Security Council resolutions. This is something that needs to be promoted because more often than not, we have had a situation where interventions come from other places other than Africa, when there is civil strife. We have even seen countries like France gloating on how they were able to intervene in countries such as Cote d’Ivoire when there was a tug of war between Laurent Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara. This move is commendable because it speaks to the PAP dream of the establishment of a super state. As we continue going forward to consolidate our collective response and working ... view
