• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also have an amendment to Clause 16. view

• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: This is in regard to cyberbullying and cyberstalking. I went through the same legislation in the United Kingdom and they include the words “of indecent or grossly offensive nature”. I remember parliamentarians stating in this House how they would get pictures on WhatsApp of grossly offensive and indecent nature, which has an effect on the person receiving them. view
• 26 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following definition in proper alphabetical sequence — “pornography” includes the representation in books, magazines, photographs, films, and other media, telecommunication apparatus of scenes of sexual behaviour that are erotic or lewd and are designed to arouse sexual interest”; It is with regard to the definition of the word “pornography”. In all the legislations that I have perused, there is no definition of the actual word “pornography”. Definitions are important as they enable us to have a common understanding of what they ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Water is life. The International Convention on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights require that state parties recognise this right. The Water Act as it is today does not explicitly provide for the right to water and sanitation. Indeed, Water and Sewerage Company is the poorest in this country and yet, the urban areas like Nairobi pay the most for water about 10 to 25 times more. view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Needless to say, it is the women and young girls who suffer the most because it is them who line up early in the morning to carry jerrycans of at least 20 litres. It has been established that those affects the health of young girls when they are forced to carry those huge jerrycans of water. I support this Motion and, indeed, I think it is crucial. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion tabled in the House today, in that, the three regulations be annulled in their entirety. The Hon. Boss Shollei has extensively touched on these three regulations. I wish to concentrate more on the very emotive one which is on the investigation of historical injustices. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The National Land Commission was established under Article 67 of the Constitution of Kenya. Its functions amongst others are to initiate investigations into present and historical land injustices. The Regulations were to have given power to the NLC to initiate these investigations. Indeed the Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2009 on the National Land Policy recognizes the need for a comprehensive National Land Policy. The Sessional Paper was formulated to provide an exclusive framework to address critical issues of which historical injustices was amongst them. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The Regulations which we are recommending to be annulled today, would have given life to the policy framework on the existing legislation. However, the Committee on Delegated Legislation is anchored in law and guided at all times by the rule of law but most importantly by the Constitution of Kenya, hence no exemptions can be granted to the NLC in spite of the very important nature of these land injustices. It was noted that the NLC failed to comply with the public scrutiny in not complying with its parent Act which demands that it must ensure that the regulations are ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill with certain amendments. I wish to address the issue of a scourge that is spreading in this country; a vice that has become very dangerous. As Kenyans, we have acknowledged in the preamble of our Constitution, in the first paragraph, the supremacy of the almighty Yahweh El-Ohim . We also recognise the inherent dignity of every person. It is an inalienable right. It is a national value that we espouse in Article 10 of the Constitution. Dignity about the human body is self-respect and self-worth. I have noted ... view
