• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In this case, it is very clear that the regulation making body deliberately failed to comply with the Constitution, in that there was no public participation. The Committee made that conclusion because the regulations were submitted deliberately without an explanatory memorandum to show whether public participation was done or not and, in the event it was done, to what extent. view
• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Further, it is very clear that the regulations were made contrary to the parent Act or enabling Act. The parent Act - The Energy Act - does not grant the authority to make regulations which have provisions to fines and imprison people in case they do not comply and infringe the provisions of the Statutory Instruments Act which says that the maximum fine that can be levied is Kshs20,000. But they impose a fine of Kshs1 million. Time has come for these authorities to go through the parent Act and the Constitution before they submit the regulations to ensure that ... view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: As they do these regulations, it is good to look at the living conditions of Kenyans. When they prescribe that a three-bedroomed house should have a solar heater, it is very difficult for someone living in a three-bedroomed house to start factoring the cost of installing a solar heater without considering the cost of the house. We have some three-bedrommed houses whose cost of construction is less than Kshs1 million. view

• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my emotion to this Motion. At the outset, I congratulate Hon. 1Jessica Mbalu for bringing this timely Motion. It is true that we are living in interesting times – a time when gender-based violence has become the order of the day. As I speak, I have in mind what happened within Kirinyaga County just about a week and a half ago, where a woman was forcefully circumcised. We may say she was mutilated in the process by the husband, under the guise that she was too hot to ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Gender violence should extend to the boy-child or the men. As everybody is aware and it is a matter of public knowledge, especially in Nyeri and even in Kirinyaga, we have reached a situation whereby we have seen so many men being battered by their wives. Even as we establish those centres, we also need to take care of the aspect that men or the boy-child can go there when those scenarios occur. The way things are we will always have people who do not want to live straight lives. We will always be having crooks and criminals who think ... view
