• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: If you tell some of us that you want to take money for health back to the national Government, we will not agree with you. I think we should look for other solutions. To me, the question is, where is the problem? Are we convinced, as a country, that we have allocated enough funds to health facilities? view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Take the example of Homa Bay County. I was told that last year’s budget was actually done by the TA and the national Government. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, before I proceed, I just wanted to correct some impression that may have been created when hon. Nyenze spoke about hon. Gumbo and told some story about a colleague Member of Parliament who sought help from him. All eyes were looking at me given my relationship with hon. Gumbo and the fact that I am married to his sister. They thought probably I am the one. I want to declare that I am not the one. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: As a matter of fact, I live in a very harmonious way with my wife. First of all, I wanted to share with my colleagues this story. I was just correcting an impression. If hon. Gumbo could allow me to proceed--- view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I will let the matter rest there and proceed. I just wanted to share with my colleagues that last week, I had a very bad experience of a lady who is less than 30 years old and who lives less than a kilometre from my home. She has been going to the area chief many times to report that she is being abused. Last week, unfortunately, the husband murdered her and the body lay there for more than one day because the man’s mother was away and the man had to travel all the way to ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: informed, than the previous ones. I see people acting out of emotions, making comments which are not in this Bill. The Bill talks about sexual offences as defined in Sexual Offences Act of 2006. So, there is really nothing new. I heard hon. Midiwo ask what would be termed as economic abuse. The Bill defines “economic abuse” as follows:- “The unreasonable deprivation of economic or financial resources to which an applicant is entitled or which the applicant requires, including household necessities, medical expenses, school fees, rent and mortgage expenses or other similar expenses; and the denial to the applicant of ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I have looked at some of the amendments that are proposed by the Committee and I am a bit disappointed that the Vice-Chairperson of that Committee is someone I respect so much but she could allow the Committee to come up with recommendations that are watering down this Bill to a level that I feel we are going to mutilate this Bill for no reason. The proposal to remove the entire Clause 8, which states:- “The Cabinet Secretary shall, in consultation with county executives, develop the necessary policy to facilitate the establishment by county executives of appropriate mechanisms to provide ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: be alive. A lot of problems that we see with domestic violence are as a result of lack of information. Therefore, if you are saying that we should not do public education, that someone should not take responsibility for that, I do not think that is right. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Clause 9 is on information on offences involving domestic violence. There are many cases and in the interest of time, I want to be fast on this one. You find your neighbour is constantly abusing his wife or husband; abusing children but because you think it is not your responsibility, you keep quiet about it. In the event you realise that one of your neighbours or somebody you have access to is abusing a spouse or someone he or she lives with, you have the legal mandate and responsibility to report that case to the relevant authority and ... view
