• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: I also wish to support this particular Motion by the Member, particularly concerning the court ruling which purported to nullify, invalidate and make CDF an illegal fund, yet it is actually in the village. I wish that we appeal this particular ruling. We will use any other means necessary in this House to ensure that we enact laws and amend the Constitution, if it is necessary to ensure that CDF is fully anchored in the Constitution. The CDF does not belong to Members of Parliament; it belongs to Kenyans. Under Article 94 of the Constitution, Members of Parliament are meant ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: constitutional making period, this House went through a lot of debate, especially during the creation of constituencies. The reason why people argued severally was because of the creation of constituencies. The reason more constituencies were created was because this was equated to development. If we are to say we are removing CDF, what will be the purpose of even having the 80 extra constituencies? The reason why people wanted constituencies was because they knew services would be closer to them. We can remove Members of Parliament from the CDF but we cannot remove the CDF from constituencies. Therefore, whichever way ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would have wished to support the removal of (h) and (e) but just as my colleague has said, former presidents are special people in our country. These are former heads of State whom we need to respect a lot. We cannot keep them in the traffic jams. I will not support the removal of (h). On (e), I would have wished we remove all Cabinet Secretaries from having sirens. There are some Cabinet Secretaries who used to have sirens, especially the Cabinet Secretaries for the National Treasury and Interior and Coordination of National Government. We ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Right from the beginning of this year until today when we are actually adjourning for recess, this country has never had peace or happiness. We have been saddened by deaths, killings, stripping in the streets and so many other issues that we have had in this country, and which have not made us happy. I am a very happy person today. Although we have not passed these amendments, I believe the stage that this amendment Bill is in at the moment is a stage where we can only amend and pass it. We do not need ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support this Traffic (Amendment) Bill. I think this amendment is very important especially on our roads which, as we speak today, even as we approach the festive season, we know most of the traffic offences are committed during this season. During this festive season, we normally have rampant accidents on our roads. Those rules are very important because they will help to reduce accidents which normally involve our minors. view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, road signs have been disrespected in most of the cases by road users. In most cases, people do not even look at the speed limits. They even do not look at the signs that show the Zebra Crossings. People do not respect the fact that children may be crossing the roads on particular areas. This particular Bill is meant to guide every other motorist to know when they are supposed to be speeding and at what particular limit. view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: The most important issue that I wish to support seriously is the road signs, which are meant to show that a school is nearby. In many countries, we have road crossing assistants who hold signs to the motorists. The motorists respect that. In our country, many motorists do not respect road signs. In this Bill, we need to provide for such people to assist our children to cross the roads. The speed limit must be regulated. Signs are supposed to guide our motorists on what speeds to drive at on which areas. Sometimes, our counties and also the Ministry of ... view
• 10 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: speeding, have moved out of the road or there is a school nearby. We need to put in place those measures, which will assist in reminding motorists that there are schools around that place. I support the fact that we are providing for serious penalties on people who do not respect Zebra Crossings. When you took a driving course, the most important thing that you were taught is that you do not hoot near Zebra Crossings and you do not rush when people are crossing there. You were also taught that you need to respect the traffic lights. Most of ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Yes, I want to contribute to this amendment. I also wish to support this amendment. This clause had not included the health and safety of the person arrested or the person deprived of his or her liberty. That is why the inclusion of health and safety of that person is very important in that particular clause. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think I also want to seek your guidance. view
