• 24 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think it is a question of how you view all these things but at the end of the day this House is washing its dirty linen in public and that must stop. I want to thank hon. Memusi here. Although it is his first time I forgive him because he was reading that speech. This guy belongs to Jubilee if you do not know. He just decamped the last minute. view
• 12 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Speaker, I beg to second. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank you for your ruling on points of order in this House; it is important. I rise under Standing Order No. 227(2), which you have just gone through. It is on the issue of committal of petitions with respect to the 60 days within which a response to a petition must come before the House. My Committee is in receipt of a petition from hon. Oner, which we wanted to table before the House by the end of this week. However, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: in our meeting today, hon. Oner, the Petitioner, came and asked for more time in order to get more evidence. He requested two more weeks. The Committee, in its wisdom, allowed him the two weeks. Therefore, we are also asking for an extension of time so that we can comply with the Standing Orders. view
• 26 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the committee is seized of the matter. Even this morning, we had a marathon meeting with the Media Owners Association. We expect that by the end of next week, we should be able to have a report. Hon. Speaker, even as the report comes, it is important for us, as Members, to respect the view that, indeed, when a committee is seized of a matter, you cannot do it in one day and report to the House. We want to make sure that we go to the bottom of everything and report. With respect to ownership of media ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. By and large, I support this Bill. It is a good Bill, save for some few clauses that I am sure we can rectify during the Committee Stage. Basically, the Bill is good. If you look at Clause 173, it talks about the dismissal of frivolous appeals. In most cases, tenderers normally go to the Appeal Tribunal with very frivolous requests. Indeed, those are very time consuming. For us to do those things in the right way, it is important for us to make sure ... view
• 24 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: If we look at it critically, if somebody wants to frustrate the process and goes to court to appeal a decision by the Appeals Tribunal, it is possible that the courts may take even up to one year before they conclude that matter. In the process, things would have been overtaken by events. That would be a clear frustration of the process. I will be coming with some amendments during the Committee stage to cap some time limit for the courts to make a decision, one way or another, after an appeal has been made at the High Court. If, ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. What has been happening in this country over the last couple of years is clearly unprecedented. As we sit in this House today, it is the right of every Member of this House to express their views independently and if Members can agree that the views of their colleagues are as important as theirs, that can be the starting point. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Without any question, something is not right with our security system. We have a Government in place but it does not have the teeth to bite, which can only be provided by this House. We know very well that there are people who are claiming that it is not a question of lack of laws but I want to differ on that because sometimes the laws that we have are a big hindrance to the Government being able to fight properly this menace of terrorism. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to give an example. Just the other day in Mombasa, we have laws in the country and a terrorist was arrested, taken to court and within 24 hours, he was released. He went out and caused havoc out there. If we had laws in this country that prevented that terrorist from being released from the cells at that particular time, the people he killed in Mombasa would not have died. view
