• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I hope the hon. Wetangula is not suffocating her listening skills. The person with experience in financial management should not be just too generic. It should be enhanced to a person with financial management but also with qualifications because this country is learning. It should not be just anybody from a small kiosk with very basic skills in financial management being appointed to this Board of Trustees. Also, a person conversant with issues relating to trafficking in persons. We have not had very many cases that are registered in court on trafficking in persons. This is an international crime that ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to agree with my colleagues who have said that the punishment needs to be a little more serious. Traffickers, be they in persons or drugs are actually devils who require maximum punishment. The best that can be done is to deter that person from the ability to do that business again. This is because sometimes we punish these individuals who are doing businesses in illicit liquor, children and drug trafficking and the fines are so meagre that it makes no difference. Given our culture of impunity, these are matters that we need to ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by saying that this Bill sort of contemplates what we are also talking of in the proposed Constitution. While that is not the matter, we need to broaden. There is a clause in the proposed Constitution that talks about ensuring that children found in Kenya who are below eight years of age shall be identified to be Kenyans and, therefore, given the national identity card. In pursuit of ensuring that our thinking is broad, hon. Odhiambo has brought this Bill to deal with specifically a crime and not fears. That is, ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, looking towards the Federation of East Africa, one can move freely to Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda and Burundi. We also know the people of South Sudan are looking forward to joining us. This Bill is lifting specific issues or instances that constitute a crime which should be punished and needs to give us a better scenario. As we support this Bill, it is also important to assert that there is need for us to have an attitude that is positive in dealing with this matter. In our country, a lot of the children are employed ... view
• 8 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill because it is timely. I would like to congratulate the hon. Member who has moved it. It has been said by my colleague, Ambassador Affey that, commissions of inquiry have been constituted for various reasons. They are not formed for positive reasons but largely for political expediency. I recall in 1990 when Kenyans were gathering steam to shift ground to accommodate multi-party politics, a committee was constituted and was chaired by the then Vice-President hon. Saitoti. That Commission went round the country seeking views from Kenyans to ... view

• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is important information that will help the country. It is not information to him; rather, it is to the country. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. I rise to support this Motion because it is necessary. We really need to engage with our constituents. We need to be available to them so that we can give and share information with them. Those of us who are from constituencies that are seriously at risk, because of the rising consumption of illicit brew want to participate in the next 100 days when the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security will be implementing the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI)--- This is a comprehensive programme meant to ensure that ... view
