• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Besides focusing only on voting, because we look very selfish as politicians when we want the youth to be given this document so that they can vote, we can amend the relevant Acts to enable waiting cards to be used for other transactions as well. It should not look like we are only protecting votes. People say Members of Parliament are always self-centred. An amendment can be made such that other transactions can be allowed using serialised waiting cards. That can be the best move. As I support, I know Kenya has many challenges now including security challenges. Opening registration ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: We are in a catch-22 situation because of our security concerns. Even if these people will use these documents to register as voters, there should be a timeframe within which they should be issued with real identity cards, which they can use to vote. I can see that Hon. Members are passionate about this law. It is like the Members of this House know exactly how many papers are out there. The passion that Hon. Members have on this issue is raising eye brows. Once we are done with the passage of this “Bill”, the person who is supposed to ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The other challenge we have is that the identity cards of the same people we are saying should be given serialized waiting cards to vote could be lying at their sub-county registration offices. I fail to understand. Whereas we are crying for identity cards, there are thousands of uncollected identity cards at the sub-county registration offices. I do not understand what is happening. The issue of voter registration has nothing to do with issuance of identity cards. There are other underlying factors which should be looked at keenly. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. During the last sitting we had here, you made a ruling when it was not clear whether the matter of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) should be followed up by either the Chairman of the Delegated Legislation or the Chairman of Committee on CDF. You made a ruling that the Chairman of Committee on CDF should give a report this afternoon so that we can know the status of CDF. It is like they had information because I can see the Chairman and the Vice-Chairperson are here. I think they are ready to give ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support the proposed amendment because it will bring coordination between the national Government and the counties. For the last two years, the national Government has been giving land and facilities to the counties but the coordination between the two levels has not been very clear and that is why the Governor of Bomet County has not signed up the grant from the national Government. Therefore, I think this clause will heal some of the problems and issues that are coming up. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: ( Clause 74 as amended agreed to) view
• 23 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also want to support this Petition by my friend, Hon. Bady Twalib. As I support, there are so many other Kenyans who are suffering under the same hands of people who are not following labour laws. As the Committee looks at this Petition, it should put the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services to task. The Ministry should be very vigilant and conduct inspections on most of the EPZs and other factories; especially those that are owned by foreigners in this country. Those are the people who are exploiting our people. This should be ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this amendment because it gives the correct definition of the term ‘forest and forest manager’. It is procedural to give the right definition. view
