• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I will now go directly to the Bill. On the side of information and reporting, Part V of this Bill, before we give information on discovery to other entities or other persons, we must break the news to the local community. They must be told what has been discovered in their county. A good example is that I am from Turkana County. When oil was discovered in Turkana County, we did not even know that we had such a resource in Turkana. We only heard about through the social media and announcement from the President. Let us go down to ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On the issue of local content and training under Part Part VI, we are talking about goods and services. On local content, we must make sure that the services we are giving are first found within the locality where that resource is. We will then extend them to other counties. We also have goods from that local area. We need to encourage the contractor to get local goods locally before we go to Nairobi or outside the country, so that we promote the economy of that particular local community. For instance, we have chicken; why come Nairobi to buy eggs ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of local content also involves jobs. I have no problem with Kenyans in general. I am not a tribalist; I am a Kenyan. We have to divide into percentages the jobs available to the locals, other Kenyans and expatriates. There are some communities whose people have not gone to school. So, we need to divide into percentages the jobs available. What percentage will go to the locals and what percentage will go to other Kenyans? What percentage will go to expatriates? If you do not get it right now, the locals will fight and ... view

• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Yes. Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I prefer if the clause would remain the way it was. This is a House of respect and we need to be in this House in harmony with the officers remaining within. If we give more powers to these officers, some of them may misuse the powers because some of them are not trained as policemen.

• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: may not have discipline in their background. If we allow these people to have such powers, they can summon you any time anywhere within the building. So, I oppose the amendment. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I support this Bill. Having the court is another avenue to explore other means to solve problems and dispense justice within a short time. Other courts take long to administer justice to people who have small claims. Because of that, our magistrate and high courts are full of small claims cases. Because of that burden, judges are not performing to the expectations of the citizens. Our courts are, indeed, full of small claims cases. We want to relieve the high court and magistrates’ ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, our prisons and jails are full of people who have been jailed because of small claims cases. The normal capacity of our prisons and jails has been over-stretched. That is because of the presence of people who are jailed for small claims cases. They could have solved those problems in a short time and then go back home after understanding each other. However, because of lack of small claims court, everybody takes their case to the high court or the magistrates’ court. Therefore, people are filling our prisons just because of small claims. Hon. Speaker, I want to ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with regard to partnerships in businesses, I know that some people have lost their properties and money because of lack of arbitration. An adjudicator would arbitrate the case and make the parties in dispute understand each other and continue with their businesses. However, because there are no arbitrators, many businesses are being broken into and many partners lose their money or capital. Having the small claims court in a local area can help people who are doing businesses to understand each other whenever there is a problem between them. With those few remarks, I stand to support. view
