• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: army. I do not normally agree with the President of Uganda, but he has penned a piece about this as a war, which I agree with. I also wanted to agree with the Member for Nyeri that we are making this look like it is a sexually transmitted disease and, therefore, creating stigma. Even if it was sexually transmitted, sex is not a crime unless it is committed forcefully or with an underage person. So, really, even if it is sexually transmitted, what is the problem? However, it is not. I want to say for myself that in my own ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: that every Member of Parliament is positive. Who am I to come here to be infected? I went back to my house. So, let us stop doing things which create fear even amongst us. We are Members of Parliament, but we are human beings. I am not coming here to be a hero. When you will be eulogising me saying that I was a good person and others will be cheering when I am dead, I will be dead and nobody will resurrect me. I will take care of myself so that I stay alive. Finally, as a Christian and ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think technology is very unfriendly to me because I wanted to read Article 187 of the Constitution. Article 187(2) that the Members are referring to says: “If a function or power is transferred from a government at one level to a government at the other level- (a) arrangements shall be put in place to ensure that resources necessary for the performance of the function or exercise of the power are transferred.” My understanding is, if we do not transfer, we are not actually following (a). If we follow the Senate route we are not obliging ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: Depending on whether I am a lawyer for Sonko or for President Uhuru... Let me presume that I am the lawyer for President Uhuru for now. I would interpret this to mean that the constitutional responsibility that they are referring to here in the schedule basically means that you are not taking away, for instance, the right for counties to do ECD. We are not amending the Constitution. That right remains a constitutional right. Nonetheless, the powers have been transferred temporarily. Because they are transferred temporarily, it means the resources ought to follow the functions according to (a). However, I ... view
• 22 Apr 2020 in National Assembly: carefully. What they are basically saying is that, let us be smart and outsmart Senate. That is what they are telling you here. They are telling you that, if we actually reject it, then this will go back to mediation and we are actually supporting Sonko. That is what you are telling me. If I was following legally as the lawyer for President Uhuru Kenyatta, I would rather go by rejecting what the Senate has sent, but going as the lawyer and the politician, I would rather support the Senate and support what everybody has done, which I do not ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Put the Question. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As you can see, the Chairlady of the Committee on Health is raising a very serious issue on coronavirus, but Hon. Kaluma, Hon. Sossion and Hon. Mbadi, who are legislators who should be leading by example, are shaking hands on the Floor of the House. We have just chased Hon. Keynan to go and self-quarantine and then we are seeing them shaking hands. They must be leading by example. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, are the Hon. Members in order to mislead the public by telling it to do one thing while they are doing ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health for that comprehensive Statement. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: One of the guidelines someone has sent on my Facebook Page, which I think is good is to avoid “MEN”, which is coded for “Mouth, Eyes and Nose”. Somebody jokingly has also said that we should avoid overcrowded places like your boyfriend’s heart. view
