• 28 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you so much. My time is up. I oppose those pieces of legislation which have the effect of creating monumental monster corruption in this country instead of fixing the economic rights enshrined in Article 43 of the Constitution. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.97; THAT, notwithstanding the resolution of the House of Wednesday 14th February 2018, that the time be limited for every Member speaking to five minutes. You can see the House is full and the exuberance and the robustness with which Members want to contribute to this Report. It is not because of the mercury in their body, but it could be the lead or the copper. I, therefore, urge that the House do agree with me, that we have the resolution to limit time to five minutes per Member contributing. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This Report is designed to fail. You read this Report and you get an irresistible view that it was designed to fail by the people who wrote the Report, not by the evidence that they had. Hon. Lesuuda has explained what she expected. Kenyans are waiting for an answer to one question: Is the sugar safe or not safe? There is no other question. When my people from Mathare consume sugar, and they consume a lot of it by the way, are they going to die of cancer because of lead or mercury? This is the ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we should not waste a lot of time discussing these things. It looked to me that we are being used here. Parliament is being used! We are trying to get evidence which is extraneous and bring it to Parliament so that when people will be investigated as they should, they will say on the doctrine of estoppel that these matters had already been canvassed in the National Assembly; that these things are now mute and cannot be investigated. This is what clever Kenyans know. We will not allow Committee Members to put us in a position where we ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Secondly, I think we still have an opportunity to remedy this. We cannot fail because the question of madam has not been responded. The fact that we have a shoddy Report should not be the reason why we should end this debate here. In my view, we should take the Statement of madam to the Departmental Committee on Health to investigate these issues. They go to the 45 counties then they select one Uchumi, one Tuskys and a shop. These things are all over. One county has eight constituencies. How can you tell me by any data or mathematical precision ... view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: other confectionary which even children partake of. I do not want to take my five minutes, I just want to take the few minutes I have used and say that this Report was designed to fail. Let it fail, but we are not going to stop there. Let us create a relevant departmental committee such as the Departmental Committee on Health, which will look at these things professionally and design a matrix by which we are able to answer the question, whether the sugar is safe or not safe. view
• 9 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I oppose. view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I just want to request that because this is a lively debate and many of us would want to pitch in something, could we reduce our time to five minutes per Member so that each of us can get something? For obvious reasons, there are some people we need to say something about. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have just walked in and I would not profess a lot of knowledge where Members are going with this. But I kind of feel that we just need to wind back and bring a law which is good. The Chair was putting pressure over some clause earlier which was negatived. The amendment which came in Clause 14 seemed to have followed where he was coming from. We will then end up with yes and noes, then come up with a legislation which if put to the public, will look very interesting and people will wonder ... view
