• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Clause 29. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: I know, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. But consequential upon amending Clause 28, it will directly affect most of us. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I am very concerned about the issue of equity in this Bill. A Bill of such importance must have the principle of equity embedded into it in every clause. For that reason, I totally support this proposed amendment. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: If you look at the clauses themselves, and I have even had time to discuss this issue with the Mover of the Bill, rape can occur to girls, women, boys and even to men. It has happened before. Therefore, rape is gender insensitive and it should not be seen as if we are talking about women or girls alone. We are equally talking about men and women, boys and girls. view
• 31 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I, therefore, propose that the principle of equity be embedded in the Bill so that in course of time, this Act can protect Kenyans. view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. At the outset, let me join my colleagues in congratulating hon. Ndung'u for working so hard to bring this Bill to the House. I know that it takes a lot of hard work to bring a Private Member's Bill to the House. But it is even more courageous on her part to bring a Bill on a subject that has been taboo for many years in this country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are two or three major issues in this ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was saying that we have not been able to confront and resolve these major social issues that affect our society, one way or the other. So, I want to congratulate hon. Ndung'u for being courageous enough to bring this very important social issue to this House for discussion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill has very noble intentions and I support it very strongly. For one not to support this Bill is to give several negative messages to more than half of our society. As hon. Members know, for every one ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was trying to draw the attention of the Mover of this Bill. I know she is consulting, but I hope somebody is noting this down. If you look at all the clauses in this Bill, you will note that the tendency has been to talk about women as being victims of rape. For purposes of equity, it must apply equally to men and women. That is one aspect of the Bill I find faulty. I take this anomaly seriously. I feel, for instance, that my son is not as protected by this ... view
• 25 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion because I realise that when we do a budget it is not humanly possible to foresee what is likely to happen in the next 12 months. This is true in any budgeting process; whether it be Government or the private sector. We have to accept the fact that we do not know fully what will happen in the future. Nevertheless, I feel that, like hon. Members have said, there are certain concerns regarding these Supplementary Estimates. This is especially true if you look at how the money is being transferred from ... view
• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to strongly support this Motion. I have great respect for the Minister for Agriculture, who is also my good friend. I also have great respect for the Minister for Trade and Industry. I also recognise the efforts the Government has put in place in trying to turn around the agricultural sector in this country. Nevertheless, there is no belabouring the fact that what has happened in the sugar industry in this country is extremely shameful. These issues did not start yesterday, they started many years ago. I remember, just to put this issue ... view
