• 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
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I oppose this amendment especially on the upper limit of 12 times. If you go to Clause 6(4) which is in the same amendment, there is this other provision which says: “The chairperson may at any time convene a special meeting---” Therefore, if we have the “at least four times” and they meet six or seven times, that can be catered for because the Chairman will convene any other meeting. I am opposing the upper limit of 12 times because those meetings may not be necessary. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support this amendment, especially on the inclusion of the KEFRI Director to the Board of Management of KFS. He has professional expertise that he will be taking to the board. Forest management is a very serious issue because we are struggling to get the 10 per cent forest cover. This person will be giving a lot of professional expertise to the board. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the Chairperson and the Committee on 10 years’ experience for the chairmanship because a chairman of a parastatal should be somebody who can guide it, but not an employee. If we are looking for a Managing Director, we can get a graduate with five years’ experience. The chairman of this corporation should be somebody who has more years of experience. If the requirement for the Managing Director is 10 years’ experience, we should reduce it to five years and retain the experience of the chairman of the parastatal at 10 years, so that they can guide the parastatal ... view
