• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, you made a clear ruling that petitions, according to the Standing Orders, should take only 60 days to be dispensed with. However, we are suffering because we present petitions and go to the committees to present our respective cases there, but the committees take more than five months to bring reports to this House. I presented a Petition on behalf of my constituents concerning a road called Nkubu- Mikumbune. I have been keenly following the Petition up to the Clerk’s Office. I have not seen the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for ... view
• 4 Apr 2017 in National Assembly: Yes, he has just sneaked in. He should respond to this issue once and for all. We are answerable to the constituents and we are entering a critical stage. It is through petitions that we are able to present the sentiments of our constituents. One of the ways through which we can represent our constituents is through Petitions. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I also want to oppose this clause. As my colleague has clearly put it, there is a way that a Gazette Notice can be framed without including all the names of these members. There is a statement which should be put into the Kenya Gazette to mention that these guys have been gazetted and they can be given a schedule. They could also check on the website, but a statement must be put in the KenyaGazette. Also, nobody has complained about the volumes. There is somebody who took to court pickups full of documents ... view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support this amendment. However, my problem is the limitation that we are giving county governments on the number of accounts they should operate. We are now micro-managing county governments, which are autonomous. view
• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: The proposal is seeking to have only petty cash accounts in the said banks. Another issue is that sometimes county governments encounter problems. For example, when the IFMIS is not working, they go an extra mile to take overdraft loans from commercial banks so that they can support their staff and make payments. This provision will be limiting them. The IFMIS in this country is not perfect. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I want to support his amendment because we need to safeguard all public institutions, otherwise rogue people can privatise them. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity to give my comments on this important Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: This Bill has good clauses, but some need further amendments when we come to the Committee stage. There is great need to protect our girls who are vulnerable to sex pests. Some men have become perverts. Some men cannot differentiate between children and women. So, we need to take care of such caliber of people. As Hon. Dawood was saying, sexual offenders should be tagged. They should compulsorily wear tags so that everybody seeing them takes caution so that they do not get preyed upon. It is very important to introduce sex education to our schools especially from Class Six ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, she should demonstrate properly how we should admire women. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is why it is important to give girls who have potential of getting married a chance to engage with men. Lastly, about indecent dressing, as Hon. Chidzuga said here, some of these sexual offences arise as a result of our ladies dressing indecently. When you go to the streets of Nairobi, you will see some women exposing their bodies and that provokes the opposite sex because it is natural. I encourage our women to dress properly. There are some churches which have now introduced a rule that while attending the masses, women should wear long ... view
