• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of division of properties where each and every spouse in the marriage will have an equal share of the properties which are acquired during the course of the marriage. We come from areas where in most of the cases people just wake up in the morning and chase away their wives and they assume that, that is the end of it. I think this particular Bill will tie families together so that people can know that you cannot just wake up in the morning and chase away your wife or beat her and then assume ... view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill because I know it is going to take care of homes which sometimes get into problems because of the man realising that probably he has stayed with the wife for a long time. He realizes the wife is now old and maybe he wants to take “ mpango wa kando” . This Bill will address those situations.

• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another aspect which this Bill has addressed is in cases where some women are more educated than men and men fear marrying them. In other cases, some women are so rich and men fear marrying them. They think by marrying them they become mere tools. This Bill addressees such situations. Spouses need to understand what marriages entail so that no one should be taken for granted. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, some areas in this particular Bill address the question of second wives who enter into already existing marriages after taking advantage of a bad situation. This Bill addresses that situation so that people who come into marriage at later stages do not disadvantage the person who has worked hard to stabilise the family; people who even acquire property in the course of the marriage. So, this Bill actually will address those disparities. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, another issue is the question of liabilities. A spouse may engage in activities which later on become a liability. In most of the cases, men will take loans to buy parcels of land somewhere and then marry a second wife. In the event of default, banks chase after all matrimonial properties thereby leaving the first wife in trouble. I think this particular Bill addresses that issue correctly. It says that any liability incurred by a spouse individually should not affect the marriage. I think that particular area has been addressed. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, is the question of customary law. Most of us are worried that we are making marriages look Western. We are forgetting about our customary law. This particular Bill also looks at the customary marriage, especially when it comes to divorce. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we know our backgrounds. We know how people undertake divorce in our traditions. This Bill addresses the worry that maybe we are westernising our marriages and making them look different from the ones we had. So, I would want to support this Bill because it looks at the customary law when it comes to the question of divorce. Otherwise, I support this Bill and I believe it is going to lay a serious foundation and especially to my future as I am preparing to enter into this institution. Thank you very much. view
• 9 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. You know sometimes we normally have Government policies. Is the Member in order to rubbish one of the Government policies, that is to enter into trade agreements with other countries or even any other agreement? I just wanted to know that. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana, mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Mimi pia ningependa kumuunga mkono mwenyekiti wa kamati hii kwa sababu ni lazima tuyatilie maanani masuala ya elimu. view
• 3 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda, ningependa kusema kwamba ninaiunga mkono Hoja hii kwa sababu sisi Wakenya wakati mwingine tunachukulia elimu kuwa si kitu cha maana. view
