• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 84 be amended by deleting Sub-clause (3). Hon Members, Clause 84(3) reads:- “Where either the husband or wife has, without reasonable [good] grounds withdrawn from the society of the other, the aggrieved party may make an application to the court for restitution of conjugal rights and the court, on being satisfied of the truth of the statements made in such application and there being no legal ground why the application should not be granted, may order restitution of conjugal rights accordingly”.

• 12 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Member for Mbita, who happens to be my learned senior, has spoken very well. But after listening and looking at her, I am wondering. She is not only the Member for Mbita, but also a Member of the Pan-African Parliament.

The electronic version ... view
• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: It is clear that Members felt that this was a necessary Bill because there was need for a forum in which governors would consult with elected Members of various constituencies. It has been noted that there is suspicion between the Members of this House and the Members of the Senate. Of course, we have seen various contradictions like Sections 91(a)(1) and 91(a)(5), which can be cured by amendments. The Members have also expressed genuine fears on the CDF and the taxation by the county governors on their citizenry or their constituents. Therefore, I urge hon. Members of this House to ... view
