• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: My request to the House is that we have a Report before us. I plead that we should not look at the question of leakage. The Committee has not confirmed or made us aware of what happened. On the contrary, we see a manner in which the Speaker seems to influence. For this reason, as we look at the Report with serious consideration, we cannot avoid the fact that Hon. Gedi is female and there is a sense in which sometimes this is used in ways which are unfavourable. This can be seen as an abuse of sort. I would ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: He said he will punch the lady. There is no lady. In this House we cannot be violent or threaten each other. view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to the Gaming Bill, 2019. From the outset, I am a Member of this Committee. I thank my Chair who has very ably captured the soul of the country at this particular point in time. As has also been echoed by our Vice-Chair, as a Committee, we were concerned that as much as we might not want to address the culture and practice of gaming, we needed to ensure that we responded to the cry of people of all ages but most particularly, the family. As the saying goes, ... view

• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Apart from ensuring that we broadly and very specifically look at the regulations that address the problems that we have, we are concerned about protecting the youth and the poor. For people who live below the poverty line or those who do not have a proper means of income, it appeared as if the only thing that was left for them was gambling. It is extremely important that we have a proper framework that will protect the interests of our children and the poor. We are also ensuring that we task betting companies. We specifically recognise that there are betting ... view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this extremely important Bill. From the outset, I would like to thank the Leader of the Minority Party, Hon. Mbadi, for bringing this Bill because it speaks to a very significant aspect. I support it. I would like to start by recognising that leadership is what Members of Parliament do. This includes those who served from the period the Bill is mentioning, namely, 1st July 1984 to 1st January 2001, those who continue to serve from that time and those who will serve later. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Leadership is influence and is truly a mark that makes a difference for all members of our society. This is when we would like to ensure that our young citizens, namely, our children, view

• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: aspire and recognise the need to take positions, be of influence and make a difference. It is for this reason that I support the Bill. We see there is a clear need to ensure the dignity of the leaders who serve as Members of Parliament. By their positions and engagements, they influence a lot for the interest of the citizens who need support. So, we have to ensure that they maintain that image. view
• 12 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: As has been indicated, Kshs6,000 truly cannot be sufficient. Also, I have noted that as we talk about ensuring this pension is commensurate to the work the Members of Parliament did, we are doing so by benchmarking in many other countries. So, as we seek to provide pension to former Members of Parliament, we would like to have a guideline or basis that will ensure it is done well. It is clear that we are looking at parliamentarians and their length of service. I heard the Leader of the Majority Party indicate that we need to remember that it is ... view
