• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to make my contribution to the Public Order (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.14 of 2019). As you consider the weighty issues that the Member for Rarieda has raised, which I think have a lot of merit because looking at this Bill, I was also asking myself fundamental questions about Article 24 of the Constitution, which allows for limitation of our human rights. Kenya is considered a country that has a robust Human Rights Chapter in our Constitution comparable to very few countries in the world. So, when we set to limit the ... view
• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: harm, there are already enough laws in place to deal with you. When you destroy property, we already have enough laws in place to deal with you. So, I do not see any additional benefit that this proposed amendment is bringing. Further, when you talk of imprisonment of six years and when it comes to fine it is a Kshs100,000 - the lawyers here would correct me - I think there is a mismatch. An imprisonment of six years cannot be equated to a fine of Kshs100,000. You should have thought of a different amount or a different sentence level. ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. David ole Sankok is my friend. Yes, he was SONU chairman when I had left the university as a student, but I was working in the university. I remember we actually handpicked him to be the SONU chair. He actually did not win. Anyway, let me proceed. I just want to urge that… view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: No. Actually, Hon. Deputy Speaker, that is a story for another day. Hon. Babu Owino can help me in clarifying or explaining how elections of SONU used to be conducted. So, I do not want to dwell on that. There was a way we used to conduct SONU elections.

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The last comment I wanted to make, my advice to my very good friend, is that when you are addressing Parliament, you are not addressing a political rally. Let us try to distinguish. There is a difference. Talking about Hon. Raila Odinga should not be the fashion. It should not be fashionable to talk about him in order to earn nomination in the next Parliament. I see a tendency of people who want to get nominated again through political parties that are forming. They are trying to use Hon. Raila Odinga’s name to endear themselves to the possible decision makers ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Motion basically reappoints the same Members who served in this Committee in the previous Session. That is a vote of confidence from the HBC, the leadership of both Houses and Committee on Selection.
