• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I understand where you are coming from, but let me stick to the buildings. view
• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Therefore, let me thank the Hon. Member for coming up with this Motion. I was trying to improve my debate by going to other areas which also have been--- Thank you for the chance that you have given me. I thank the Hon. Member for what he has done. Personally, every infrastructure that will take place in my constituency will adhere to the building code to ensure that PWDs are able to access all the facilities that we will construct. This goes to other Government departments to do the same. I will make sure that the PWDs will benefit from ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to give my comments on this Petition. I thank the Petitioner because of one issue which has been affecting us in Meru region, especially the Igembe region. We have a big problem of cattle rustling in my area and also in Tigania. I consider cattle rustling as robbery with violence. Therefore, this Petition will help us, if the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs will look into it keenly. Those people violently come to get livestock from our side and go with it to the other side, As Hon. Maanzo ... view
• 9 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: As a region, we are suffering. Those laws can deter the cattle rustlers in the region. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as an expert in the field of names of trees, I would like to notify my friend that the scientific name of the omutere tree, which is popular in Kakamega Forest, is myosotis emini. He should use that name and avoid the Luhya one. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I could give good information on that profession. Unfortunately, the Bill is not dealing with names of trees. I will concentrate on the contents of the Bill. This Bill is here in fulfilment of Article 71 of the Constitution. We should have transactions subject to the Ratification Bill. Therefore, fortunately, this time round, this Parliament has been empowered to protect our natural resources. The natural resources need ratification by Parliament before the people who come here to extract them are given concessions. That is in order. Those concessions include tax rebates and other concessions which those ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: First, I want to go to Part II of this Bill which has the timelines on how this should be enacted in this House. Part III has time-frames on how that business should be transacted when those people get an agreement from the county government of from the national Government. It should not take more than 14 days before they submit their agreement to the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of that natural resource. I am happy because the time-frame given when the CS should submit the agreement to this House is historic. It is seven days. This means that ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: I am concerned that after this Parliament rejects any agreement or any concession, it is like the last resort. The transaction is declared null and void. The drafters of this Bill should also give a leeway where those guys can go, if Parliament disapproves their transaction or concession. Therefore, we may be unfair to those people coming here to do business. Any investor coming to invest US$500 million in a mineral business, for example, is a serious investor. When Parliament in one way or the other decides that this agreement cannot be approved, then it becomes a problem to those ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was rising on a point of order. It is through the consultation of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology with Prof. Kaimenyi, who sits in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, that Hon. Gumbo is able to discuss this Bill which is coming up at the right time to empower the education sector. That notwithstanding, I want to support this Bill. For the first time, I want to congratulate the Committee for the good job that they have done through the Chair, who is here with me. We have been grappling ... view
