• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, Hon. Speaker. I join you and my colleagues in immortalising our departed colleague. Just as you have said, Hon. Kamoti did not present himself as a politician, the bravado that is constantly expressed by Members of this House was far off in his radar. I remember in December 2019 that he and I joined you for a visit in Abu Dhabi. That is the time I got to know him at a personal level. He was such a humble person. To begin with, little would somebody ever imagine he was a lawyer. During the one week ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: himself as a gentleman. I can remember when we visited our ambassador in his majlis in Abu Dhabi. He was just a fine person. The people of Nyando Constituency where I represent, join you and the entire House to wish his family and the people of Rabai grace from the Almighty God. This is a person who had dedicated his life to serve humanity. At the party level, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) where he was an ardent support, we have lost a gem within us. Hon. Speaker, we join you in mourning the death of our departed colleague. I ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am in agreement with the Committee’s proposal. We have just opened it a little wider to incorporate the civil society or the NGOs at the same time denying them an opportunity to have an officer recognized in law through this Bill. So, I am in tandem with the proposal as advanced by the Committee that we need to put it as “any other officer as authorized by the Director” so that we have those from the civil society together with the NGOs. Thank you. view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am in agreement with Hon. Millie’s definition of what parent or parenthood is. The mere fact that those who are taking custody of a child have been left out of this definition, is very good. They are guardians so to speak. Whoever coined that definition of a guardian within the English term, knew that there would be children who would be under the care of certain people who do not necessarily have to be their parents. I am in full agreement with Hon. Millie’s definition and I hope that the Chair will not be in ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: I thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity, even as I second, to underscore a few points around this Motion that has been advanced by the Committee on Members’ Services and Facilities. If there is anything that we have learnt from the coronavirus pandemic, it is that the world is still not safe. The coronavirus has mutated and repositioned itself where it diminishes and recurs without notice. The world is still grappling with this pandemic. As a matter of fact, this Parliament lost Members courtesy of the coronavirus. Therefore, we must create better ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Therefore, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second the Motion. I thank you. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Besides what he has stated which is a code, there will also be a signature which will be superimposed onto that document. Together with other security features, it will pass as an authentic document. view
• 13 Apr 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. In areas where there is forgery, that is criminal. We have procedures of settling down criminal activities. The electronic signature is not a new phenomenon. It has been in existence since the advent of computer systems. It is recognised in law. Therefore, my brother, Hon. Sankok, needs to be enlightened that even the certificate that he may get in UDA tomorrow, it will also be having an electronic signature. That does not mean that that signature makes the document unauthentic. It is just recognised in law. It is as good as the actual signature which ... view
