• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I think it is not realistic to ask for two weeks. I think it should be four weeks because we are going on a recess. I do not want you to give me unrealistic deadlines. You need to be genuine. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wish to thank the Chairman of the Committee, but I want to say that this response from Kazungu Kambi is very shallow. It is very shallow and does not provide any new information with regard to the plight of persons with albinism. If you look at the reasons given as to why there have been delays in implementation of the persons with albinism programmes; money was allocated in 2011 and it lay idle in accounts; it came to the issues of procurement of sunscreen lotions and that is why you can see that a board was ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Asante sana Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Ningependa kumwuuliza mwenyekiti wa hii kamati swali moja. Amesema kwamba hili jambo lilitendeka kwa sababu ya wale magaidi wa Al Shabaab na ilihali tumesikia kwamba hapo awali kulikuwa na habari kwamba ilikuwa ni tetezi za kisiasa. Uwiano uko wapi kati ya mambo haya mawili? Ni Al Shabaab ama ni siasa? Pili, tunaona kwamba Serikali ya kitaifa imepatiana Kshs50,000 kwa kila muadhiriwa, lakini Serikali ya kaunti ilipatiana Kshs100,000 kwa kila familia. Hiyo kweli inatosha? Tulikuwa tunafikiri kwamba Serikali ya kitaifa ingepatiana hela zaidi. Kama kweli haya mambo yalitendeka hata baada ya watu kufutwa kazi ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: msimamo wa kuwalinda watu wa Lamu na hali watu ambao waliokuwa wa kwanza kuwezwa na hao majambazi walikuwa ni polisi? view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I think the issue here is that this Bill is such an Omnibus Bill and hon. Members are finding it difficult to flesh out the issues to discuss. But anyway, while it is the prerogative of the Executive to propose amendments for various legislations whose enactment may be in contention, I am obliged, for example, to observe that the proposed amendments in the National Youth Council Act, some of the proposed amendments there are actually ambiguous. Maybe, this is superfluous, but then there is no organisation called the Kenya National Council of Persons with Disabilities. I ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing is about NACADA. I wonder whether you really require NACADA to be on this Board. Is it because it deals with young people and so there is an issue of drugs and substance abuse that will be apportioned to young people? This is presumptuous! In my opinion, it needs to be deleted so that we have another body that will represent effectively the advisory role that will be given to the National Youth Council. If you look at the current Act, you will realize that the National Youth Council has been given a lot of sweeping powers ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Public participation is very important when it comes to making of laws. In fact, the Mover of the Motion in a way is contradicting the very essence of passing of these laws according to the time line, because that is one of the values and principles; people should participate in matters that concern them. Right now we have so many expectations in Kenyans with regard to how the environment is supposed to be managed. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: This House has just put the question and passed the Climate Change Bill, and we also have the Mining Bill. All these are actually intertwined because they all talk about the environment. If the Chair of the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources feels that she does not have enough time to actually go through the amendments as proposed, we do not want a situation where some very crafty amendments are actually passed in the name of meeting a constitutional deadline. view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: The committee that is proposing actually has been aware that National Assembly needed to pass some laws by the 27th August of a certain year. Now we are supposed to rush Bills simply because we have all of a sudden realized that we need to do something. It is also true that this House is receiving a lot of legislative proposals and our numbers have gone up. Maybe it is time we also started debating whether we should have an extra sitting, possibly on a Thursday morning; this is also the result of such proposals. The House Business Committee may ... view
• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I think I am going to bring an amendment to the Order Paper to say that we also consider extending our sitting time, so that we can dispense with all matters. Committees should also see the value of bringing out some of the work that they are supposed to have executed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
