• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to send my message of condolence to the family of the late Hon. Member, and with your permission, I will go ahead and do that. I am glad for getting this opportunity to send my message of condolence to the family of the late Hon. Samuel Motari. It is interesting that our records are not as clear as they should be. It does not matter that the late Hon. Samuel only served for two years from 1977 to 1979. The passing of that Hon. Member reminds us, as Shakespeare said, that this ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I will take just one minute to also condole with the family of an amazing thespian in this country who only passed on yesterday. She was an amazing intelligent lady who dedicated her life to serve Kenyans through the creative industry – the late Ms. Lorna Irungu Macharia. We pass our message of condolence from my family, the people of Dagoretti South to the late Member, Hon. Samuel Motari, and also to the family of the amazing lady, Ms. Lorna Irungu Macharia. To her husband, I say to him, as the Bible says, mourning may endure through the night, however, ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to congratulate the former Leader of the Majority Party because this is a matter that needed to find its way to the Floor of this House. view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The issue of double registration and the problem of registration of people who are actually Kenyans is not limited to northern Kenya only. In Dagoretti South Constituency, we host people who are formerly from Congo, Rwanda and some who were born here but cannot access Government services because they are not registered. In terms of registration of persons, this matter is so compounded. Even as we debate about the referendum, we know there are some young people who are not registered as voters who shall be disenfranchised when they have to make a decision either way on this matter that ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The opportunity to stand up and support this Business Laws (Amendment) Bill is not taken for granted. I first want to congratulate the Leader of the Majority for preparing an amazing Bill that we will support even without any need for amendment and secondly for his patience, knowing that he sits here the whole day unlike some of us who are able to take health breaks. For that, I congratulate him. As we talk about ease of doing business, we also need to understand our history of business. To my mind, I believe that ... view
• 23 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: people who should be facilitators of business in this country are actually the biggest frustrators of the same. Everyone is talking about young people being innovative and creative. However, those who are ahead of these young people are actually intellectual property bandits. A young Kenyan will invent something, will discover something, but before they know it, someone who has more economic power might grab that idea, run away with it and not even pay for it. Other hoops that we are making our people jump are actually corruption in a way that you can never imagine. A recent study is ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I agree that the House is very limited in what it can do in ratifying a treaty. However, I am not seeking to amend the treaty. In fact, what has been approved by the Speaker is my effort to amend the Motion that has been laid here by the Chairman. I also understand that the Treaty Making and Ratification Act was passed by this House and was sponsored by a very good legislator, Hon. Odhiambo-Mabona. So, if the former Leader of the Majority Party, now a ranking backbencher, would reread the Standing Orders, he ... view
• 9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I propose: THAT, the Motion that has just been moved by the Chairman be amended by inserting the words “subject to insertion of the following new recommendations (c) and (d)” after the word “EPA” on paragraph (b) on the Motion. So, the new (c) shall now read as such that: “Any further review and/or revision of the Agreement should be subjected to the approval of the National Assembly as provided for by Section 10(2) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012.” The import of this amendment is that, while canvassing this business, this Committee had ... view
