• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: access to the internet. It is my considered opinion that the Committee takes into consideration that firewalls be set up to stop the access of pornography not simply on issues related to child pornography but pornography at large. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. It is an important aspect for the development of this nation. I have also noted that over Kshs4.7 billion has been allocated to the Equalisation Fund. It is with deep concern - I heard it being said in this House - that the Constitution is a negotiated document and Equalisation Fund was negotiated for certain communities. Nothing can be further from the truth. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: This Constitution was negotiated for all Kenyans. As I stand up, I express my concern that counties like Kakamega where 56 per cent of the population that live below the poverty line have never benefited from the Equalisation Fund. It is my humble submission that the Commission on Revenue Allocation needs to begin to check and study the kind of parameters that it is using in order to understand deeply how we are going to divide the monies in this Equalisation Fund. Clearly, in a county like Kakamega, which does not suffer from drought, there must be issues like infrastructure ... view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Division of Revenue Bill and approved the same without amendment. view
• 15 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. Indeed, I want to applaud the Bill for having identified targeted categories. When it comes to rapid transport, bus lanes and buses have identified people with disabilities, the elderly, pregnant women and parents travelling with children under five years old. This goes a long way in enhancing the quality of life of our citizens, which is such an inherent aspect of Article 28 of the Constitution on the dignity of life. Indeed, we know that the average Kenyan spends over 16 hours outside their homes. They wake up at 4.00 ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second the Motion for extension of the period for consideration of statutory instruments. The regulations came before the Committee. In some of the regulations, critical elements of public participation as anchored in Article 10 of the Constitution of Kenya had not been complied with. Indeed, in the High Court judgement of 19th December 2016, a declaration was issued with regard to the land regulations on registration of forms, titles, leases and other documents. It was determined that the same had been made without the necessary public participation. Other regulations referred only to wives but not ... view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: In view of the above, it is important that the regulation-making authority appears before the Committee on Delegation Legislation for further consultations in order for these anomalies to be relayed to these particular bodies, and for compliance with the parent legislation, and more importantly with the supreme law of the land which is the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 14 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I second the Motion. view
• 5 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill especially in view of the fact that we recognise that copyright intellectual property rights are indeed the works of the human spirit. Intellectual property is also the driving force of the economies for countries such as the USA. You will see that the copyright industry drives the film industry, from which they earn billions of US dollars. The industrial designs in patterns and trademarks and other aspects of intellectual property, earns them billions of dollars, especially in the areas of pharmaceuticals and defence industry. I wish to reiterate that when ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg your pardon. I do not have an intervention. view
