• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue is also because we have the Lambwe Valley that also has a park. We also have a lot of land-based human-wildlife conflict. We must also change the law so that even the attacks by monkeys should also be catered for. I know the Government says that because they are very common, they should not be catered for. However, it is transferred to you as the Member of Parliament because you are the one who must assist those people. view
• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The other issue is about human activities which include Government action. From where I sit, I have just got pictures of a very big ship that appears to be harvesting sand in Takawiri Island. I am told that it is part of dredging that is supposed to allow for the passage of a ship from Kisumu Port to Tanzania. However, even when they are removing the sand, we do not know whether there is an environmental impact assessment or public participation that has been done, and also how it will affect the aquatic life and the wildlife. That has not ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: There are many multiple issues that need to be looked at including what has been mentioned on the disease in Lambwe Valley. We have people struggling with the issue of tsetse flies. Enough money has not been put in that regard. There is also the issue of new areas that need to be protected. We have islands that are not protected such as Mbasa and Muholo that have over 500 bird species that the Government has not protected. These islands can draw in many tourists and infrastructure in areas like my constituency. I had a lot to say, but because ... view

• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me also join Members in congratulating Hon. Dennitah Ghati. I served and campaigned for her when she was very able-bodied and it was a shock when she moved from being able-bodied to a person living with disability. I went through some of the phases with her - she understands - and it is very challenging. I would say that sometimes God puts you in a place for a reason. All of us have agreed that she has done excellent in supporting issues of PWDs. We also sit with Hon. Dennitah in the Parliamentarians for Global ... view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As a Member with very special interest, with three pending Bills, I support this Procedural Motion. I have the Child Justice Bill, the Reproductive Healthcare Bill and Assisted Reproduction Technologies Bill. I want to request that we take into account Private Members’ Bills because we put in a lot of effort and energy, and shame idlers. Recently, I saw some misinformed people 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
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: demonstrating outside Parliament saying that I should withdraw a Bill they are purporting to call baby manufacturing Bill. Human beings are the only ones that manufacture babies and a Bill does not do that. We should shame such misinformed persons who are religious fundamentalists. People should understand that religious fundamentalists cut across all religions including Christianity. Hon. Speaker, on that basis, I wish to fully support this Procedural Motion. view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning for this. I will not focus a lot on the contents of the agreement. I think the Chair of the Committee has talked at length about them and I have them here in terms of the scope and issues that are covered. The former Leader of the Majority Party also spoke at length about the benefits. So, I am not going to go to that. I just want to speak to the legal regime that ought to have been used. When ... view
• 3 Dec 2020 in National Assembly: this matter be brought to Parliament. When I actually look at the documentation, what we have that has been brought to us, that is why it is actually under statutory instruments, is Legal Notice No. 114. What it then does is basically to get Parliament to approve the subsidiary legislation pertaining to the agreement. My worry is that the court did not make a direction on subsidiary legislation. The court made a direction in relation to the treaty. Section 3 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act talks about the application. It says: (1) “This Act applies to treaties which ... view
