• 21 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support the Motion. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister is saying that we will use passports. If we will use passports, then there will be no free movement. It will be restricted. Secondly, the tax rate in Kenya is 16 per cent, 20 per cent in Tanzania and 18 per cent in Uganda. We have no integration because the tax regimes are different. view
• 30 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Is the Minister in order to say that we are actually integrating when he has already said in the House that we will be using passports? I thought he was going to say that we will be using identity cards. Is the Value Added Tax going to be zero-rated at the border or are we going to continue paying it? view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In respect of the last aspect of the Minister’s answer, there is, of course, the policy of occupier’s viability, which does not even require a policy as such. If you are on the premises lawfully, it does not matter whether you have a policy or not. You have a duty of care to persons who are lawfully on all those premises. So, I do not think it is a question of whether there was a policy or not. He is admitting that this took place, and that the New KCC Limited is ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Member of Parliament for South Mugirango Constituency. First and foremost, I want to thank the people of South Mugirango for giving me overwhelming support. The voter turnout in that by-election was 81 per cent. That shows the determination of the people of South Mugirango to make their own independent decision against the big parties which came to campaign for their candidates. The first thing I want to say is that the candidates who vied did not have a problem. The problem we ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a Member of the Committee but I am in a bit of a dilemma because I will be opposing this particular Motion. So, I do not see how I can move debate on it. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think what we are dealing with here is a bit more important than the apparent way it has been moved. If we are going to do vetting as Parliament whether we have a new constitution or not, it is necessary that we set the ground rules very clearly from the beginning. There is, currently, some difficulties from the executive that they have difficulties with Committees. I want to agree with my colleagues that perhaps, the process should be the other way; that the executive should be doing the sourcing and proposing for ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: We are in the middle of another process which requires really strict compliance with the law. Part of the problem we may have now is because, perhaps, we are not complying even with the law. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Perhaps, just for the comfort of everyone, I can, in fact, summarize. I was a member of the Executive Committee in Bomas and in the deliberations of that Committee, there were very heated discussions; there were difficulties in exchanging views amicably and fairly. We were advised by the proposed director that we were at liberty to file and hold minority views, which were going to be recorded and which were going to be presented to the plenary itself for deliberation and discussion. We acted along those lines. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there has been a bit of concern about other things. I also wish to put it on record that the recent annulment of the re-appointment of the previous Director, Justice Ringera by the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs--- I was one of the hon. Members who went out publicly, boldly and very early on to say that the process which was followed by His Excellency in appointing Justice Ringera was wrong. It was, indeed, wrong and the House confirmed that. So, when I stand here, I would like to make it very clear ... view
