• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. I commend both the National Assembly and the Senate. More importantly, the National Assembly appreciates the role the Senate has played in improving the Bill. This reduces our differences and clearly shows that the two Houses are working together for this nation. If they have brought something which is good, we embrace it. If we carry this spirit in other Bills, we will have better Bills to be debated in the House and we will serve this country better. When the Senate came up with the ... view
• 2 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, another point which this Bill brings out clearly is to remove the word “Director General” and call this person “Chief Conservator of Forests”. This means that he is the CEO who has been given the mandate to run the forest. Every year, he should tell us what he has done to improve forest coverage. There should be returns every year to show that trees have been planted in certain areas. Normally, when people see a forest, what comes in mind is how to get timber out of it. Nobody thinks how we can improve it. We have had ... view

• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are discussing a very serious matter. We talk about Safaricom making money, but the gambling in this country is bigger than the revenues that it earns per day. Poor people including workers in my house spend their time gambling. It is the biggest economic activity that has taken centre stage. It is not a small matter The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: and I am glad that the Leader of the Majority Party has proposed that it be postponed. Gambling is like drug addiction. People are addicted to it and they are doing all manner of things to get money for gambling. People gamble with school fees, salaries, land and cars. Parents are going through a lot of pain with their children who are addicted to gambling. People surrender their salaries for gambling and they cannot even go to work. They are given a consolation that when one loses, they get a better bet the next day. People should know that you ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute on this Bill. First and foremost, I want to thank the Committee for doing a good job. I have a concern on Clause 31. I wish the Chair could listen to this. When reading this, I thought it was referring to when young people are recruited and join the service. Clause 31 states that Section 243 of the Principal Act in sub-section (1) be amended by deleting the word “62” and substituting therefor the word “64”. I thought that we were increasing the age limit for young ... view
• 28 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We are not passing this Bill for an individual when we participate in the National Assembly. He is referring to soldiers in Somalia. Let me be specific on this clause. I am referring to Clause 11. The Kenya Defence Forces (Amendment) Bill proposes to amend Section 24 of the Kenya Defence Forces Act so as to give the President authority to extend terms of office of the Chief of Defence Forces, the Vice Chief of the Defence Forces and the Service Commanders. What I am saying is that this Bill is not in the ... view
