• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this amendment is very important. You will recall that we are enjoined by the Constitution to make a freedom of information Act. Any justifiable exceptions will come under that Act after we properly analyze it. But a blanket condemnation and a very heavy penalty of Kshs5 million, this is is taking us to the dark era. I support the amendment. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. For the same reason that my colleague on the other side is asking for the clause to be deleted, I actually say that we need this clause. After the passing of the 2003 Public Officer Ethics Act, we omitted to put a clause for making public the declaration of wealth. It failed to put a mechanism for tracking an individual’s wealth.

The Kenya Anti-corruption Commission was unable to get anywhere ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to begin by saying that only the guilty are afraid. This clause is just saying: “Let us know what you have and we will trace whatever else you acquire to see whether you have been milking our cow or you bought your own cow.” All I am saying is that unless we pass this clause, those used to milking other people’s cows in the night and especially the cows of Kenyans, will continue drinking the milk to the detriment and health of the rest. So, I support this clause. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to support the amendment. My imagination shows me that many people are advancing with buckets to milk cows that do not belong to them. This clause is necessary and I support. view
