• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. We must deal with the urgent and critical matters of our country and I believe that all my colleagues will support this Motion so that we can deal with those matters before we go on recess. With those few remarks, I support. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Bill. First of all, I want to thank the Mover of the Bill for having thought about this law that will govern our wildlife conservation. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Upfront, I want to differ with my colleague who contributed from that side that we should not attach a lot of importance to our wildlife, being a tourist attraction. That is a God given asset, the same way people in Arabia have been given oil or South Africans have been given gold. This is our gold! We should protect, promote and exploit it for the benefit of our people. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we actually promoted tourism in this country on the grounds of wildlife. We will probably have more visitors like the visitors who visit Malaysia in a year. ... view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: these wildlife all this time, should be given some incentives or rewards for having done that. view
• 21 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in a case where a matatu driver or even the Chair is driving from Loitoktok to Nairobi and on the way he carries a friend who has in his possession a trophy, the law says that you will be arrested and fined or imprisoned for five years. That is inordinate. That is a travesty again. Therefore, that should be amended. Unless the driver was involved in the illegal trade of trophies, he should not be fined. We should follow the person who owns that trophy. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we want our Government to work, ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this important debate. It has taken a long time for this Parliament to accede to the needs of Kenyans who travel using motor vehicles. Like my colleague, hon. Midiwo, said we should include motorbikes in this Bill. Therefore, I believe that the most able Chairman will include an amendment on motorbikes in this Bill. Kenyans have suffered; I know a lot of people have suffered. Every time there is a problem in the constituency, the first person to be informed is the hon. Member. It is ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: received. Like what my colleague, hon. Midiwo said, let us attend to the issues affecting Kenyans. Let us lower our propensity to discussing sideshows and address issues such as this one. I hope hon. Members will bring up amendments to improve on this Bill. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support with some small amendment; THAT, one person with disability per constituency who shall be appointed by the County Women Representative. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so I remove the gender issue. view
• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the amendment was to remove anything to do with religion. Delete everything to do with “religious”. view
• 14 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill. We want the Media Council to be independent but independence does not mean that another arm of the Government cannot contribute towards that unit or institution. For example, in this Bill, the Government will be providing funds to run this Council. Why are we saying that they should not get any public resources to run this Council? view
