• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I support this Bill and state that I am happy to note we are talking about a key concern, which is curbing corruption. In the Bill, it has been indicated that it is important to look at the architecture. This is to ensure there are ways in which the monies fundraised are not only seen to be put to good use, but the process of raising the funds will need to adhere to the set premises. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: As a House, we recall recently it was pointed out that we need to recognise as we come up with Bills, how they address issues, the context or culture of engagement in the country or other existing frameworks. There could be Bills which are passed and then later we are told they cannot be implemented. Therefore, it is extremely important as the Bill seeks to indicate, we not only immediately align it. Since we are talking about a Public Collection Act of 1960 we clearly need to see how it is addressing the devolved government. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: As we look for incentives and seek to get good practice from the USA, I would like to urge that we look at the manner in which these particular incentives will work. There are quite a number of cases where the very people who sometimes come together to raise these funds; in terms of their engagement, may be those whom something like tax incentive or encouragement might not really apply. view
• 8 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: I support the Bill because it is truly discussing and addressing an area that is requiring a desirous action. I am not sure that legislation will handle this, especially given the architecture and culture of practice and the needs that so far arise, some of which encourage we engage in fundraising. As I support the Bill, I think we need to address the culture of practice and not just stop at legislation because there are a number of issues that require behavioural change, attitudinal change and also change in how to deal with corruption and loopholes that exist. It might ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairperson for the comprehensive response. As I agree with the response and the stipulated suggestions, allow me to say that a crisis is the best time to find and utilise what could be seen to be attractive solutions. The bigger the problem, the bigger the crisis, the bigger the opportunity to make a lasting difference. A crisis helps to discover problems. It is, indeed, clear in our country that as we celebrate or keep hoping that we are going to open schools, it would be useful, ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: across. It is not just for the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation and the Departmental Committee on Education and Research. I would like to address an area and a ministry that I notice was not in any way addressed, the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage. If we look at what is happening and the three critical areas, we will see that the tendency is to just let our young people get access to reproductive health information and in a number of cases, enable them to see that this is ... view
• 29 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I would like to thank the Committee on Implementation for tabling very clear and actionable issues. I note in particular that in the recommendations, the Committee is seeking a clear legislative framework. The nature of this Committee is to follow-up on the resolutions that are passed by the House and ensure that they are put into action. We should establish a monitoring and evaluation unit or office that is domiciled in Parliament and would serve the same purpose as the Parliamentary Budget Office. That is because it would allow the Committee ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for the opportunity to speak to this Bill. From the outset, I support this amendment Bill. It is very clear from the Constitution, 2010 that several public services and deliveries were instrumental in moving towards devolution. We expect that there should be a lot of services provided at the county level. As we look at what has been in play over the last eight years, we can clearly see that we do not have a clear system of revenue collection. There is also a sense that as we endeavor to collect resources, there are elements of ... view
• 15 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: corruption. Instead of engaging in politics, we should look at how we can come up with policies that would persuade all the citizens that we have their best interests at heart. We seem to have an approach where the loudest people or those who might be in a position to rabble rouse and get people to become emotionally charged are not really accountable. I support this amendment because I feel it captures the spirit of what the Constitution saw as very important. It is at the heart of what is ailing this country which is lack of transparency, efficiency, collaboration ... view
