• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Article 27 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination against any individual based on health status. As much as we want to adopt this Report--- view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When you look at this Report, there is no absolute evidence to indicate that Major (Rtd.) Muiu is physically incapacitated. It is just a process from the Head of Civil Service requesting the Director of Medical Services to constitute a board that would in turn give a report on the status of his incapacitation. With the absence of this, I think the Committee has put the cart before the horse. The process would have been given time so that the Director of Medical Services could constitute the board which would come up with a ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity and I think that time is adequate for the two of us to share. I will just take a few minutes, say three minutes and leave the rest to my colleague. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the best thing this country ever received since Independence is devolution. This Bill that I rise to support shows that this country is now moving towards the right direction to ensure that even justice is devolved to the very areas that we are talking of, which are our counties. Some of these areas have ... view
• 8 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I find this Bill appropriate and we need to support it. We really must consider the fate of the ordinary mwananchi who lives in regions that have been disadvantaged. We need to deliver justice to all persons in the country, especially those who have been unfortunate to access it for various reasons. Secondly, I must speak about the issue of administration of records, which is a very key thing. In this country so many matters are pending in court simply because the relevant files cannot be traced. Therefore, administration of justice and how it is managed within courts is also ... view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The essence of subjecting this Bill to public participation was to harmonise the interests of the various stakeholders. Changing the Title to conform to the context of the entire Bill is the right thing to do. If you do not change the Title, then the context will have a different meaning. We are trying to enhance an orderly way, create sanity and harmonise all these interests. We should not ignore the public participation interest that has already been brought on board. I support the amendment of the Title. view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I want to thank the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands. Having listened to the facts he has laid in this House today about Muri, Mathengeta and Drake farms, I support this Motion. Land is one of the things that have brought a lot of controversy, misunderstanding and insecurity and has been a source of fatal attacks. At a time when we have the NLC mandated to keenly look at historical injustices that occurred on land matters, we should not be talking about IDPs or squatters. The NLC has a ... view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: which are parts of Makueni County. The Governor should be stopped and given a stern warning that issues of land are very emotive and he can bring a lot of animosity between the different communities and the people who are living there. He must be warned that such an act is completely unlawful and it cannot be given any chance in this era where the Constitution reigns supreme and the rights of individuals are properly recognised in law. The Committee has really given us a very good recommendation on what ought to be done in terms of the relocation in ... view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, thank you very much. We are not making this law for the purpose of the Senate or the National Assembly, but it is to the benefit of all Kenyans. We must be alive to the fact that if something seems to be wrong somewhere, we have a responsibility as the National Assembly to interrogate the matter very well, put our feet down and make a sound decision as far as this is concerned. view
• 29 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: I totally support the Leader of the Majority Party that we should reject it, but I am also alive to the fact that the Member for North Horr has also mentioned something, if we could place this to a mediation committee, but in principle, we should reject this kind of amendment. view
