• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also support the Mediation Committee on the position they have taken to locate offices for NDMA in drought-prone counties. A precedent has been set. Those who come from drought-prone areas such as Kitui, Mandera, Garissa and elsewhere have never bothered to ask the Coffee Board of Kenya to establish offices in drought-prone counties because they will serve no purpose. In the same vein, it would be very serious for people from Kericho, for example, to request the NDMA to establish offices in the county which will serve no purpose as the area receives rainfall. ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. We cannot take administrative duties of a board to the National Assembly. We have our own roles which are oversight, legislation and representation. Therefore, I do not support the amendment which is being proposed by Hon. Kang’ata, my friend. view
• 17 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. These amendments have really exposed the fact that some areas of this country have been marginalised over time. As much as we sympathise with my sister, at the moment, the Judiciary is committed to serious reforms. Let us go their way and maybe, in the interest of time, we will go to the wards later. view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I want to be on record as saying that the business of legislation under the Constitution is vested in this House. We cannot pass things that go to State House, like the Chairman said, and get reversed. If they want to be members of the legislative arm of the Government, tell them to come here through a normal election. We are representatives of the people and this is the position. If they want to be Members here, let them come to the House. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I sit in the same Committee. Laws are not static. We better have one universal law so that when we are talking of that land law, we will have a shift. Even on the Energy Bill, as he has said, there will be a shift. Therefore, that is what informed us to say that we reject the Senate amendment in totality. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, clause 41 be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “which recognise the uniqueness of procurement and tendering process of minerals” appearing at the end of the sub-clause. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: No. I want to clarify one thing a member of our Committee has said. When we talk of the community, we talk about the people who are domiciled within the mining area. There will be a big rush if we say community involves everybody who is around. Even Tanzanians and other people from other regions will come over and that is not the local community. For example, if mining is taking place in Kitui, the local community includes the people within the locality where the mines are located. That is the clarification I wanted to make, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 49 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting the word “four” appearing immediately after the words “exchange within” and substituting therefor the word “three”. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Minerals, according to the Constitution, belong to the central Government. When we make it operational and say that the counties must give a go ahead for any investor to start business on the ground, it is not good. As you know, the Senate anchors its business around the counties. Either way, like Hon. Makali Mulu has said it does not matter whether it is in the National Assembly. Because we did not want to contest them, we agreed with their amendments. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, clause 149 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (3) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clauses:– (3) All immovable assets of the holder under the mining licence shall vest in the County Government from the effective date of the surrender or termination of the licence upon payment of the book value of the assets by the County Government. (3A) Where the County Government is unable to pay for the assets under subsection (3), the assets shall vest in the National Government from the effective date of the surrender or termination of the licence upon payment of the ... view
