• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I had proposed to move an amendment to the Second Schedule as follows:- THAT, the duty of Kshs6 per litre or 10 per cent under Tariff No.2201.10.00 in relation to Mineral waters be deleted. But after consulting a number of people, I think that mineral water is a luxury and, therefore, I wish to withdraw my intended amendment. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, even as we vote, we should know what we are doing. Could we ask the Mover, Mr. Oparanya to move the rest. There are numbers (iii) to (v) which deal with plastic bags. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: As you know, I have very serious views on some of these issues. But, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is important because we are talking about the health of a woman who has given birth. I want to agree with Ms. Njoki that two months are not enough. I think the proposal to increase maternity leave from two to three months is welcome. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, although I am past the age where I would have taken advantage of the two-week paternity leave, I wish to support that amendment because I have young boys who ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to get some clarification. The first part is understandable that where a female employee has been matched with a child for official adoption then she is entitled to adoption leave. That is understandable but what about the other one which reads:- "The same rights duties and obligations to employee and employer pertaining to maternity leave will apply in the case of adoption leave"? Could Ms. Ndung'u explain to us, so that we do not just pass laws. It is a bit vague as it is. What are these duties and obligations pertaining ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. The Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs did not follow the procedure. We are in Committee of the whole House. The Committee cannot resolves to sit until we finish consideration of the foregoing Bill. It is only the House which has the mandate to do so. view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we could have very good laws with very good intentions, but we must place those intentions within their proper perspective. I am having some difficulties. First of all, the title of PART VIIIA reads: "The Gender Action Duty." We would expect naturally, because this is very new--- We were dealing with the Employment Bill and we have now introduced something we are calling the "Gender Action Duty". This idea was not captured in the Employment Bill. This particular part is now being read a Second Time and we are debating it. Therefore, we ought to ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs purported to give me some information. I think I should give her this correct information. Earlier on, in Clause 2, if you look at the Order Paper at page 730, we have the amendment proposed by the Minister, which was carried. That amendment read:- THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended- "(b) in the definition of the term "Board" by deleting the words "established by Section 5 of the Labour Institutions Act." If there was a Board to be established under that non-existent Act, that has already ... view
• 16 Oct 2007 in National Assembly: Yes! I am contributing! This part that has been proposed by the Chairman is to be read a second time! view
