• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: primary and secondary schools. We will be traversing the constituencies looking for votes and that will be disruptive to many things. This will be my second election and I know what happened last time. If we have the ‘election’ mode in August--- My colleague is trying to interrupt me! I do not think I am going the route he was going when he was contributing. view
• 5 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me use the term “voting date”. I also have a problem with that word. There are a lot of activities during the campaign period. We need to change the voting date to December. We also have the seventh wonder of the world, the migration of wildebeest from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Park in Kenya. That is during their breeding. Most of the people do not know why the migration takes place. The migration takes place because the animals go to breed in Serengeti. That is the right time for tourists ... view
• 30 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to echo the sentiments of my colleagues. Many Kenyans are out there in foreign jails. This is a good opportunity for them to come back home. In some of the countries, Kenyans are suffering in detention, especially in South Sudan. I remember just the other day many Kenyans were detained in undisclosed areas in our neighbouring country, South Sudan. So, as we support Kenyans who are serving jail terms to come back, we should also consider intervening in areas where Kenyans are detained in un disclosed areas for investigations for months ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My good friend, Hon. Tonui, is misleading this House. I am a senior member of Njuri Ncheke . I am a patron in Imenti South, sub-county of view
• 8 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: . There was no news that Njuri Ncheke said Prof. Kaimenyi must be impeached. For the information of this House, all Njuri Ncheke elders have said that they support the Cabinet Secretary. He is our child and we have no problem with him whatsoever. So, I wish that Hon. Tonui can apologize to Njuri Ncheke elders and then withdraw before he proceeds. Otherwise, we will curse him as Njuri Ncheke elders. view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute. From the outset, I want to appreciate the efforts made by Hon. Sakaja by introducing this Bill to this House. I do not want to overemphasise that one of the problems that we are undergoing, as a country, is youth unemployment. That is the reason why Hon. Kanini Kega has brought the Bill touching on radicalisation of the youth.We have very learned youth but then there are no opportunities for employment. So, this authority will sort out all these problems that are happening. We have come up with ... view
• 24 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: is the way we should go. Because we are the people who are giving budgets to the ministries, let us have Kshs100 billion allocated to NYS and then this programme be rolled out throughout the country. I know that only 63 constituencies will benefit from Phase 1of this programme, but then if this programme is rolled out throughout the country, we can approve a budget of even Kshs100billion to the NYS as long as the youth get direct employment across the country. I am happy because Jubilee is not selective in NYS programmes. I can see that the Government started ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion as moved by our colleague Hon. Injendi. I want to support this Motion. I would like to indicate that according to Marriage Act, 2014, all marriages must be registered. They include customary marriages, civil marriages, Christian marriages, Islamic marriages and Hindu marriages. The Act does not favour customary marriage. Before that marriage is given a certificate, the people who go through the route of customary marriage must take six months to complete the rituals and to convince the marriage officer or the registrar that ... view
• 17 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: hon. member for Makueni has indicated, those regulations should now be done by the Attorney- General (AG), so that we can have a good law in place. We also need to note that the Act also recognizes foreign marriages. Such marriages can be conducted at our embassies and consulates abroad. The Registrar of Marriages can appoint officers even in those embassies who can issue marriage certificates without any hindrances. Many Members have also talked about the fees charged for marriage certificates. For sure, getting a wife should not be just a walk in the park. The fee, which is almost ... view
