• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have a bit of misgiving when I see the composition of the Board in Section 6. You will realise that from paragraphs A to H, apart from the chairperson and the director-general, all the others are principal secretaries. It is basically the Executive. I doubt whether this composition will have the intended effect if it is dominated by the Executive without putting people in academia and the corporate world, who are well versed with matters of libraries. We may need to change a bit about the composition of the board in the Third Reading, so ... view

• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. As much as I support the proposal by the Chairman, we need to be very careful because 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
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: from the time we pass this and the time it becomes law, there could be change of staff. We need to have guidance on that because, even currently, all the staff who used to be on the Tea Board, some of them were taken to other directorates within AFA. We know very well that currently, AFA is mostly maintained by the resource from tea. Therefore, we need to be careful such that between now and when the Bill becomes an Act, there is no monkey business. Some staff would want to go to the new Tea Board and maybe they ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I do agree with Hon. Millie Odhiambo and Hon. Gichimu. This is an amendment we must oppose and drop. If we allow it without much ado, it is very clear that the employees and agents of the board will misuse it. When they state “without lawful excuse”, what is that? It is very subjective and we will be criminalizing issues based on subjectivity. I think this is a poor way of trying to enforce the orders of the board. I think the Committee did a very good job, but this one must be dropped. ... view
• 1 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This proposed amendment is audacious. The Constitution allows everyone to challenge any Act of Parliament, not just what we are trying to make here. We do not need to put it because nothing stops someone from challenging any Act which is being infringed. It is in the Constitution. view
• 15 Oct 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute and put my voice on this Motion. At the outset, I want to support this Motion and associate myself especially with what Hon. Millie Odhiambo, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Mover said. The issue of gender has been misconstrued not only in Kenya, but the world over where people have taken gender to mean women or the girl child. However, this is far from it. Gender encompasses every one irrespective of the organ which you have. We should not lament very much ... view
• 5 Aug 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing, Urban Development and Public Works the following Question: (i) Could the Ministry explain why axle load limits are continuously being violated by Heavy Goods Vehicles in the country? (ii) What measures has the Ministry put in place to ensure that Heavy Goods Vehicles comply with axle load limits when using Low Volume Sealed Roads? (iii) What rules and regulations or proposals, if any, are underway to provide ways and measures to regulate the frequency and rates at which Heavy Goods Vehicles use Low Volume Sealed Roads ... view
