• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Now that I have social distancing, I think I can remove my mask. I support and congratulate the Committee for bringing this Bill and for their good Report. I have listened to the Member for Nyali and I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that sometimes you do not recognise the two, but again that can be said about many of us and especially the Member before he came to Parliament. At least, I am glad that when he comes to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: the House, he has not lost the cause for which the public elected him. I urge him to continue with that pace. Sometimes we politic too much outside that we forget the primary reason for which we were elected. So, let us not lose ourselves too much outside there. I want to thank you for the good remarks you have made. It is not just in Mombasa where this is a problem. It is a national problem. It is a very big problem even in my constituency. There are certain drugs that are planted especially around Hon. Mbadi’s constituency. I ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: seen where there is a loophole and I am coming to the Floor of this House to bring an amendment to Section 118. There must be a probable cause when you are accusing people of stealing. You cannot accuse my National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Manager of stealing money which has not been released. It is in the national office, but you are saying that money has been stolen. You should at the very least get your facts right. We are part of the constituencies that have not received the money for the Financial Year 2019/2020 and for once, ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I want to say I am very happy. Not because of narcotics but I have found a very good provision in this law. I will be transporting it to section 118 of the Criminal Procedure Code. There must be probable cause. Do not wake up in your house and because somebody has given you some little money you come here and start flexing irrelevant muscles. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: I was hoping the Committee would look at one thing and also declare my ignorance on issues of drugs. This is because I can see they are talking about 1.01 grams. I do not know whether this or 50 grams are large enough for consumption or sale. If they are large enough for consumption then you need to separate the definition of a person in possession and a person who traffics. This is under Clause 4. This is because you will find yourselves in a similar situation if you define a person in possession and a person who traffics together. ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Bill. In supporting the Bill, I want to say that it is timely because the counties have been operating without regulatory framework in many issues which has created confusion. At the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: national level, we have such a law, thanks to Hon. Amina Abdalla. It has guided the way the national Government works, especially in issues of delegated legislation. In my constituency, the lack of such frameworks has affected fishing, especially on fish caging because sometimes you have the officers operating without a regulatory framework and sometimes discretion gets to be abused when there is no regulatory framework. So, when you have this, it will at least ensure that there is a way the counties will be able to deal with the fishing sector. The other issue that I have noticed that ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I support. view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the mediated version of this Bill. The ECD is the basic foundation for children. If we get the foundation right, just like the other Members are saying, children will develop well. Unfortunately, we have, as a country, not put a lot of emphasis on ECD. It reminds me of a time when I was in high school and there was this girl who used to do very well in Maths, but would not do well in any other subject. She had transferred to our school. You would discover that even ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: because I think with the change, we should only need two classes. It was three classes before. If you only need to do two when MPs have to do eight and you have billions when we are operating with millions, honestly, there must be a very visible change. I know that counties also have other things they are catering for, but one of the things that we have to do, especially because a lot of money will be going to the ground, is enhancing monitoring funds that go down. A proper and effective monitoring, not the kind that I am ... view
