• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am not allowed to do that in terms of procedure but in the spirit of taking us forward, either the Chair can move them or I will bring them at a later date under that Subclause 43. However, if we had had this discussion - that is why we are always encouraged to harmonise - I could have brought them under that. I am also not opposed to doing things which are reasonable.

Sossion, that we have not taken into account some of the proposed amendments that ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Rights. But once an ordinary citizen of Kenya or any other person in Kenya decides to bring an issue that is of concern to them, it is not up to us as a Parliament to then reframe it for them because our understanding is very different. I remember when we were passing the Constitution, when we talked about the freedom of expression, one of us was very explicit and she said, dress is part of freedom of expression and we stopped for two days discussing whether a dress is freedom of expression or not. So if a Kenyan decides to ... view
• 18 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue that Hon. Sossion has alluded to is in terms of the obligations to the public and the promoters. We must balance in terms of principle, so that we do not have people bringing frivolous amendments yet at the same time when somebody has brought something that is weighty, it should not fall by the roadside merely because they cannot support it. So there must be a balance between what the promoter can do and what the Government can do just to ensure that as I have said, we are not bringing frivolous amendments. My other concern is ... view
