• 22 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not a point of information. Is the hon. Member in order to purport to be moving an amendment that does not exist? Could he clarify? view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: That was the law that established that Commission then. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Deputy Speaker, let me, first of all, congratulate hon. Ochieng for bringing a Motion that touches on a significant population of his constituency. While supporting the Motion, I want to share with you an experience I had in 2007. You remember the chaos that followed party nominations and the subsequent confusion regarding presentation of papers to the electoral body. In 2007, I was supposed to present my nomination papers before the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK), as the electoral body was known then. At around midday, I got wind that although I had a ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: subsector. Hon. David Ochieng felt that the Government needed to show commitment by making sure that those who are involved in this industry are properly trained; that is where the problem lies. We have lost a lot of people and so many have been injured; some have even died. Actually, I have a friend whose name I will not mention here. He lost his mother because she boarded a boda boda and before it moved 100 meters, it got involved in an accident and she lost her life. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we need to train these boda boda riders because ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, we need training and licensing of boda boda riders; more importantly public awareness is needed. When I took a boda boda to the Airport – it is not that I am not aware - I did not put on any helmet and there was no jacket. If it was cold, I would easily have been affected by pneumonia. If I had been involved in an accident, I would not have survived because I did not have a helmet. We need to educate the public to understand that before you ride on a boda boda, you need, first of all, ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think that this Motion should be converted into a Bill. Even then, this House takes the initiative to allocate specific funds for training boda boda riders. I do not think it is too much for this country to allocate funds to this industry which employs our youth. That is something we need to think about because getting money from CDF is overstretching the CDF kitty; mostly, you will take it from the bursary fund meant for secondary schools and university and college students. If you squeeze in the boda boda industry, you will again be overstretching ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first of all, I want to say that to the extent that the President decided to respect the Constitution of this country especially with regard to Articles 2, 5, and 6 of the Constitution by appearing before the ICC, that is commendable. We live in a continent where leaders are rogue. We live in a continent where you do not expect leaders to respect the rule of law. I thank our President for accepting to listen to wise council from some of his advisors. I would want him to retain those advisors who told him to go to ... view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I did not discuss his conduct, but I just said that in terms of governance--- I think it is there for us in the public domain. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, let me proceed. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to handing of power to the Deputy President, I asked myself what alternative the President had. Once the President decided to appear before the ICC, he had to surrender his powers. This is because the Constitution is clear that any time the President is absent from this country, the Deputy President acts. Once he appeared in the ICC he was going to be an ordinary person, whether he liked it or not. The President was just being careful and a politician by trying to pretend that he was removing himself from being the President and appearing there as ... view
