• 3 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, she is adding an insult to an injury. She is saying I am wasting time as a legislator. I am seated here pensively. Can she withdraw that again and apologise? view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the amendment and the position taken by the Committee of the National Assembly. These natural resources agreements involve a lot of investments. The New Clause 9A proposes to give the Senate no specific timeline when it should consider the agreement. This means the investors under these agreements will not move forward. I support the position taken by the Committee and concur with the Senate on the amendments on genetic materials. Genetic resources are broad and, therefore, scientists, universities and colleges, which need to go further into research, can explore them perfectly. I support the ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to comment on Clause 9(c) because we had dispensed off Clause 9(a) and (b). I want to concur with the Committee that we should reject the amendment on Clause 9(c) by the Senate because of some of the issues which they are raising, especially in (b), where a person is disqualified from becoming a member of the Board if he is a member of a governing body of a political party. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, my name is Hon. Kathuri Murungi and not Hon. Karithi. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, yes, I want to support the amendment. I also want to commend the Senate because they are thorough on the Bills we are giving them. Initially, the Committee has been rejecting so many amendments from the Senate. We have really trained them on how to look at our Bills. Therefore, they are on the right track and I support the amendment. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 36 of the Bill be amended at sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “national” appearing immediately after the words “declared a” and substituting therefor the word “public”. view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I concur with the Chair of the Committee because on this one, the Senate got it wrong. As she has put it clearly, the Environmental Management and Coordination Act 1999, is what brought about the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). Therefore, we made changes to it with the new Constitution in mind. That is why we came up with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act, 2015. I am an active Member of the Committee and we reject this as a Committee. When we go to mediation, we will inform them why it should remain as Environmental ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I also want to support the rejection of this amendment. There is a clear-cut direction in this Bill on how you can degazette a forest. You cannot just sit down and start degazetting forests and making them, for instance, public land. Even when we were discussing this Bill during the Second Reading, I remember there were such amendments. We rejected them on this Floor. Therefore, I support this rejection to this amendment. Thank you. view

• 20 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to comment on this Petition as presented by colleague and friend Hon. Gatobu and also commend him in regard to this Petition. Some of the problems we get in the secondary schools at the moment are that students are under a lot of pressure because of these regulations which are being implemented right, left and centre. Some of the regulations, especially on fees guidelines are one of the causes that make the students strike. Most of the time the school management wants them to clear the fees so that they can ... view
