• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: they have to return money because there is no time. At the same time, I encourage our governors to utilize resources well so that it is the public that would defend them where they think the National Assembly is not defending them. I also want to challenge a notion that women governors are corrupt. I do not know of any case relating to the work of governors that touch on women governors. Even though there may be cases that touched on them before that, I am sure they are being dealt with. But, as governors, so far, they are doing ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You have given Hon. Jude Njomo a good piece of advice. However, I am reminded that part of his worry has been caused by a concern we have raised – the President has become a super legislature. We might not support that amendment in the Finance Bill then it goes to him and it is negated. That is the worry of Hon. Jude Njomo. I want to encourage him – even though his does not fall within the same ambit as the one we had talked about earlier in relation to the Advocates Act; that, at ... view

• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Bill with amendments. I will not speak on the positives that are contained in this Bill, but I will speak to some aspects that I hope the Chairperson of the Committee will pick and consider bringing amendments. On the issue of digital market place that is provided in Clause 3, a lot of our young people, because of lack of jobs, have become innovative and creative. We are the ones that encouraged them. They are doing a lot of business online. I bought a ... view
• 18 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: but I think this is something that we need to look at by amending the Advocates Act. Let us interrogate and see whether there are other ways of dealing with it other than bringing it through this process. I do not think this is a revenue-raising measure. For me, it is much more an issue, as one Member had indicated, touching on Article 35 of the Constitution on the right to privacy. When we want to limit the right to privacy, the Constitution is very clear about how we do that. We cannot limit the right to privacy or any ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to thank the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation for this Report on the consideration for ratification of the Beijing Treaty on Audio-Visual Performances. I am happy that for once, we have a Treaty on Beijing that is not about women. Everybody assumes that whenever you talk about Beijing… view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Wamuchomba is very eager to talk about audio-visual because she was in the media industry. I am sure she is very excited to talk about it and that is why she is in a hurry. view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: The pull is strong on this side. I was just saying that I am very happy that at least for once we have an international instrument on Beijing that is not just about women. Beijing is not just about women’s rights. We can also have other international instruments that do not have to do with women. I have looked at this. Under Article 256 of the Constitution, any treaty that is ratified by the country becomes automatically the laws of Kenya. What we are basically doing now is making law. I wish sometimes Members would understand that. Sometimes people think ... view
• 17 Sep 2019 in National Assembly: to say that it is also important for this country, especially in this digital era. There are so many issues coming up. I cannot broadly see them in the treaty. Even after this Treaty is ratified by us, as a country, it challenges us to look at providing a comprehensive law or amend some existing laws to look at issues of digitalisation. Access to the general public has become so easy because of the digital era. We have so many experts. It has its benefits. It also pains. I think all of us recently saw this young boy who was ... view
