• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this chance to make my submissions on the Gaming Bill, 2019. First, let me thank the Departmental Committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: on Sports, Culture and Tourism for having come out very strongly at the right time to bring this Bill, which I must say is timely. Times have really changed. We are living in a situation where gambling is now part and parcel of not only the Kenyan society, but the global society. So, a law needs to be in place that can control and manage this, because it may also be very difficult to say that you are banning it. Banning it would mean that the entire activity will proceed in the underworld and that will not be good for ... view
• 26 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: gaming games are in the sporting area. Our former veterans in football, athletics and other sports are languishing in poverty. Later on, we shall be speaking to the Chairman so that our sports people also benefit from the proceeds of betting and gaming activities. This Bill also establishes a National Gaming Authority. This authority has been given the task of controlling the licensing of who will be involved in betting. This is very important because currently, everybody is in the field and we do not know them. There is no total control over who is in this particular field. I ... view
• 21 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Departmental Committee on Education and Research under Hon. Melly and Hon. Kimunya have had a long day meeting that is looking at the Supplementary Budget of which I believe they are still going on with. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: The fact that the Hon. Member got a written document from the TSC is also good enough. The Chair must have communicated with the TSC. However, in the event that he needs to appear before the Committee and also face the TSC, it could just be because of the examinations and mostly the CEO of the TSC has been in the field. I, however, will be reporting the matter to the Chair so that we can expedite with that. I thank you Hon. Speaker.

• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. On that particular amendment, I was also here and I thought we wanted a minimum that was not too low below the threshold that would make somebody not do that work with a little bit of experience. That is why we were sticking on seven. However, from what the honourable Member is saying, he has opened the field too wide. Is that the case? May he can clarify. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. When discussing this Bill, we thought it fine to have the county attorney at that level to work for six years. The idea was that in the last year, the governor would leave earlier than the county attorney. Whatever happens, during the sixth year, a transition can occur. We need to give the new governor a chance to make his own undertakings within the county. Could you clarify which timeline you have for this renewal period? That is also what the previous honourable Member talked about. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I want to support the Chair and Hon. Chris Wamalwa that, when making laws, there are categories under which you can make laws. At the level where we are making this law, there will be no need of going into the fine details of how the Chair will be operating because that can be taken over by the Standing Orders of those assemblies. I would really plead with Hon. Oundo and the Chair, who is also a lawyer, that doing that will be engaging in nitty-gritties and we should not go to that level. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, whereas the fears of the Members – including Hon. Oundo’s – seem to be sentimental in terms of the burden that is given to the head teacher, in the education system, the head teacher, especially of an ECD center, is an instrumental person. He should have direct connection with the community around. These are young kids. So, the head teacher will initiate the process of finding out where a student is and then collaborate with the leadership – the way Hon. Tindi has put it – to bring back these learners to school. view
