• 5 May 2016 in National Assembly: I do not want the information. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I also rise to support this, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. It is important to get the county governments to have ownership of these processes. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to seek clarification because paragraph (a) of Clause 15 that is being deleted is not related to the new paragraph (a). It appears to me that we can add the amendments without having to delete anything. If I get an explanation on the amendment, I can support and make my decision. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am requesting for some explanation on the proposed amendment. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, indulge me a bit. Paragraph (a) of the clause being deleted is not the same as what the new paragraph (a) provides. We can have both together. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment is protecting culprits. If you say “not exceeding”, the fine can be as low as Kshs5, but if you say “not less than Kshs10 million” then you are sure that at worst it will be Kshs10 million. I think the original provision is better. I oppose this amendment vehemently. I have been listening to this and since my opinion about economic crimes is known, I would have gone for something bigger. So, I oppose. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: I stand to oppose this amendment. These amendments of “not exceeding” are protecting culprits. If you say “not exceeding,” it can be as low as one shilling. But if you say “not less than,” at least you are sure that there will be some sentencing. I oppose. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman--- view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want a re-committal of Clause 43 which I do not think will be a problem because the same principle had been earlier applied on all the other clauses. view
• 3 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to comment on this Bill. It is an important Bill considering that we have discovered oil in our country. In many countries, when oil is discovered, people suffer instead of benefiting. It is a technical Bill. I hope some areas will be looked into when the Bill goes to the Senate. We are one community and benefits that accrue in one of the country should benefit other members. Those in that area will benefit a little more. We did not agree to everything, but it is an important Bill. view
