• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I was part of the Members who discussed a matter in Marakwet East Constituency in the presence of hon. Ichung’wah and hon. Shebesh. Hon. Shebesh was also one of the Members who discussed this particular matter. view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: However, we based our findings not on the fact that the matter of Shollei had been seized by any Committee. They were only proposals by the Committees including the PAC, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs which I belong to--- view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. At times, we are obligated by the situation and the happenings in the country that we cannot avoid to discuss such matters. I believe that even though the Standing Orders of this House bar us from discussing those matters, reading the Standing Orders clearly, what I think we should avoid is the substance part of it. Otherwise, we cannot stop the Members from discussing matters which are of national interest. There are some issues which when we look at them, although some people are talking about procedures and the due process of the law, ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: When we talk about matters which are in public domain, these are matters which we must and are obligated to look at in tandem with that particular principle. Otherwise, we will discuss some of these issues which people are talking about when the time comes. We will have time to discuss them but let us look at the issues which are of national importance and avoid gagging the media and this Parliament. If we want to gag this House based on the fact that matters are before Committees, then it is like we are saying that we should not look ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, let us also look at the public perspective, which we also represent and we need to discuss those particular issues. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thought you were going to reprimand me since I have some serious interest in this particular Bill as you know me. Anyway, thank you. I wish to support this Bill especially so because I am a Member of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. Other than that, I also want to make some serious contributions based on the pertinent issues which this Bill has raised.

• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I must say that the institution of marriage had not been taken seriously for a long time. This Bill will come in handy to look at several issues which our marriages have been going through. This Bill is coming at a time when I am also preparing to enter into this particular institution and I felt that maybe it will be very prudent to have a concrete law that governs the institution of marriage. I support the Bill because I know--- view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this could have been one of the reasons which scared me. Our marriage institutions had not been laid on a serious foundation and maybe some of us were still waiting for the time, not only for this Matrimonial Property Bill, but we were also anticipating the Marriage Bill which will institutionalize marriage and put it into the right perspective and govern it. I will be very grateful and happy if this Bill is passed and supported by the Members, so that when I will also be entering into that particular institution, I will be entering ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to be guided. I would want to say that when we talk about matrimonial properties, sometimes we inherit most of the properties from our parents. How will we identify between the acquired and the inherited property? This Bill has addressed that particular issue so that people who enter into marriages do not just claim property. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that I like the part that defines the properties that are held in trust. You know many people hold properties in trust. They hold them on behalf of the young ones or other people. It is unfortunate that when some marriages come to an end, some people would want to claim ownership of even those properties which are held in trust. I believe this particular Bill will address that issue. view
