• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I just want to end there by saying I condole with the family. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am just wondering why this is important because usually when people execute their responsibilities, they would not generally be held liable because they have just performed their functions. There must have been some mischief that is being cured here. That mischief is what we want to know. I am not so comfortable when we legislate that someone would not be held liable unless I know why. Our justice system is such that if you execute your functions properly within the law, you do not fear any litigation. Could someone be running away from accountability with ... view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: First of all, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let us see what the impact of this amendment is. If you ask me, the amendment is seeking to illegalize monopoly in distribution of electricity. So, we should look at it in that context. Is there any other provision to realise that in the Bill? I do not see it. Clause 145 that is talked about says: “A person who wishes to carry out the generation, exportation, importation, transmission, distribution and retail supply of electricity must apply for a license as the case maybe to the Commission in accordance to the provisions of ... view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, could you protect me because I also understand this provision clearly. It is just telling us that the Commission will communicate within 15 days after receipt of the application. They will then inform the applicant in writing whether the application is complete. What happens in the event that you have met all the conditions and they have decided not to license you? view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think the Leader of the Majority Party is not listening to others, he is listening to himself. I am saying if the person applying for the licence has met all the conditions and the Authority decides not to give you licence, what guarantee is there. Why do we have to take the route of going…. view
• 24 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: What I am saying as I conclude is that you go to the Tribunal if someone has violated the law. But if you have legislated in a way that you have not protected the person seeking the licence, you cannot go to the Tribunal and succeed. What Hon. Nassir is saying is making conditions difficult for the Authority to misuse their powers. So long as someone has met all the conditions of licensing, they should be licensed. I support. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The House has a rare privilege. The Members of Parliament who sit in this House have a rare privilege of being the only organ in this country that is given the responsibility to deliberate on and resolve issues of concern to the people. This gentleman from Wajir feels that he has a concern. His concern is that any Kenyan who is above the age of 70 years should not be President of this country. That is his right. We need to respect that right. That is why many Kenyans fought so hard. Yesterday, we were eulogising ... view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: age. Wisdom comes with age. If his father is still alive, just remind him that there is certain wisdom that his father possesses which he does not. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. In seconding, I just want to say one thing. The HBC made a resolution which we communicated to this House and which is in line with provisions of the Standing Orders, that we will strictly take to Second Reading only those Bills where a committee report is ready. Given that we are going for a long recess of one month, we felt it is important that we commit some of those Bills to various committees so that when we come back after the recess, the reports shall be ready and we will be able to take ... view
