• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Section 2(b) says that the father and the mother may by agreement – a parental responsibility agreement- provide for the father to have parental responsibility for the child. What we are discussing here is the child and not the parents. When you again subject the father to enter into an agreement with the mother so that he can take care of the child, what about a situation where the father and the mother do not want to talk to each other? This is where the father hates the mother so much and only wants to take care of the child. ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: You know some of the parents especially the ones who are not married when they get a child, he disappears and he does not want to look for the mother. Now you are telling him to go, look for the mother and make an agreement with her. There are fathers who want to take care of their child. They want to take the child to a school, pay for him but he does not want to talk to the mother. So, that also contravenes and deprives the father the right to take care of the child. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I can see my time is up. However, hon. Kaluma’s Bill is also trying to repeal Section 26 of the Act which says that a parental responsibility agreement shall have effect for the purpose of this Act, if it is made substantially in the form prescribed by the Chief Justice. This is where one of the parents just goes to court so that he or she can extort money. A child is being used to exhort. This is what this Act is trying to address. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: No, hon. Temporary Deputy Chair. You know I had the privilege of sitting next to a former Minister for Sports, Culture and Social Services and he is really agonizing how he lost that title of “Minister”. So, I was laughing next to him. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank hon. Keynan for bringing this Bill. This Bill is very important and it creates law and order in our country, especially on how people should relate and behave in functions. Having said that, I think it is timely because when you look at the disorderly manner in the ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: to be called chairman, Jakom and what not. That is an African way of doing things. Where we borrowed this system, you will hear governors being called “governor so-and- so. You will never hear “His Excellency the Governor of Texas or His Excellency the Governor of Florida”. So, this African mentality of being obsessed with titles is very bad. It is a very bad culture. We need to disregard that and be comfortable with our names. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am worried about this Bill. If you use a title that you are not entitled to, you will be ... view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: No. It was a long time ago. At that time, Otuoma was still in school. It was in the 1970s. I am told he went to Los Angeles and said in a sports event that: “I am the Minister for Sports from Kenya.” They asked him: “From which church because Ministers are from churches? We are not dealing here with church matters. This is a sports forum.” view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, so, we need to be serious. Let us not be obsessed with titles. Let us be comfortable with our names “Mr.” and also your profession, if you are a doctor or professor. The obsession of being called so-and-so is really very bad. It is an African situation. view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is African but we must discard the bad African culture. We need to remain with the good ones only. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, the other thing is about sirens. When you walk around this city or highways, you will hear noises from every corner when a cabinet secretary is passing. It sounds chwi chwi chwi . Then another one there view
• 13 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: . You will think that people are dead in this country or there is a disaster in this country. You may think that there are hundreds of ambulances taking people to hospitals. So, we do not need to have those kinds of sirens. You need to have one car and you will move. You will reach where you are going. Why do you despise the other Kenyans who are in the jam with you and you want to---? view
