• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Although it would be time-saving to go the direction the Chair of the Committee of the whole House has proposed, I am worried. After reading the Report of the Committee, I realize that they do not seem to be coming forth, other than the fact that they are talking about a legislation which is still not before the House. They do not seem to be discussing the issue which you see in several clauses on the punitive aspect or the offences that are provided there. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Each of them is different in nature. There is a school of thought which would agree with the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party as the sponsor of the Bill that, to create a punitive regime on the offences will dissuade people who are in the gaming business. There are others who seem to suggest that such will discourage business in those sectors. So, he needs to tell us the philosophy that is informing why he is proposing these deletions. Is it just because there is some legislation which is coming, and which has not become our property? It has ... view

• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. You see, we should not intimidate the Chair. I think he is getting fearful for nothing. Why is he withdrawing what is on the Floor? We are the National Assembly and we know what to do. Let him move what the Committee has allowed him to bring here. view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: He should be allowed to move the amendment and we will deal with the issues as they come. This is because we have read the amendments and we know what is good or bad. But I have a problem with him withdrawing because he is the Chair and he is representing the Committee. So, for him to withdraw without instructions from his Committee Members, I find this unpalatable. view

• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: I am just begging to help you. Not help! I know I cannot help you because you are the Chair. But when you see the Member for Suba North in spectacles – and this is first time I am seeing her in spectacles - you know that she is ranking and has read this a lot. There is a point that the Member for Suba North is making. Once we have expressed ourselves as we have on that amendment in which the Chair dropped, if we do not make it part of the Bill right away and then we go ... view
• 2 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, let us have reason in this House. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party and other Members who seem to say that we need to watch this gaming properly because of the social menace. However, there is something that the Chair is saying which you are not listening to. When you look at the proposed legislation, he is talking about licences. He is saying that licences are not generic. There could be a lady in Ruaraka who wants to open a small Sportpesa shop. Unless we say that this is an illegal business and ... view
