• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank all the hon. Members who have had the opportunity to support this Report. I want to also thank the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security for the Bill that was brought here and passed by this House. view
• 10 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: It has come out very clearly from hon. Members that guns are not the solution. This is a problem of the youth that we need to look into. We need to, clearly, differentiate criminal elements in our society from young people who are looking for something to do. It is important that we look at some of the economic activities in some of the areas that are heavily affected by these unlawful groupings. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is good that security agencies fill in the gaps, so that we do not find people getting opportunities to provide for ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill and thank the Minister for finding it timely to bring it to the House. I am certain that if this Bill was introduced in this House a little earlier, many of the crimes and executions that we have witnessed in the past may not have happened. It is a Bill that is going to help the Police Force to track and deal with organised gangs in the country. I am particularly impressed with the way the penalty has been drafted. It is important that we take cognizance of the ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: positive step towards getting these young people, who may have found themselves in places they never desired, out of them. So, it is important that we shield leaders who may have taken the initiative of trying to get some people out of such groups. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, it is important to appreciate the fact that when we go out looking for votes, we actually go to each and every person, including those in prisons, just in case they are released during the voting period. So, it is important that we do not provide for something that will ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to second this amendment for two reasons. One, there is a likelihood that this will affect the security measures in our country in this era of terrorism. Secondly, it may complicate commercial transactions and, perhaps, affect economic growth. I know there is a way of dealing with these limitations by introducing an amendment or a legislative agenda in Parliament. The threshold to attain it is fairly high. There may be need to qualify this right for purposes of doing business and making sure that we are still within secure borders. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion with the following reasons. One, this right exists in the current Constitution. Two, churches and Christian organizations and religious groupings should be allowed to compete in the market place so that they can push for their faith. Three, if institutions have been set up solely for purposes of religious faith, it is only fair that they also be allowed to recruit those who share in that faith. I would not want to imagine a situation where you find a Christian in the mosque and vice versa or somebody trying to give ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support this amendment for the reasons that, during our deliberations, we had recommended that this should be left to legislative agenda because there are many issues that need to be dealt with. We need to isolate many of the issues that are being brought forward by hon. Members. For that reason, I support. view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also want to support the amendment for the reasons mentioned. First, the use of the word “ethnicity” should be deleted. I view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT pursuant to provisions of Section 33(4) of the Constitution of Kenya Review Act, 2008, this House approves the Draft Constitution submitted by the Committee of Experts and laid on the table of the House on Tuesday, 2nd March, 2010 subject to the deletion of the First Schedule and the replacement therefor with the following:- view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support the proposed amendment for one or two reasons. One, the doctors have clearly told us that abortion is not a method of treatment. Two, we have statistics from the US that when they tampered with this kind of an amendment, the number of abortions in that country went up by about 1,500 percent. It is true we have had people who argue that you cannot carry a pregnancy out of a rape. I think in the event of a rape, we do not need to murder the child. We should punish the ... view
