• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Yes. Is that not correct? You know one of the things about me is that I am also very honest. I do not pretend. I am not speaking negatively about Sonko but I am encouraging him as my brother. I am encouraging him as a person who is a performer and who is also visionary. I am speaking about Nairobi because of the timeframe. If I had time I would go to Homa Bay as well because even my home town of Homa Bay is not doing well. I would encourage the Governor of Homa Bay, in the same vein, ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I went to Kakamega, I saw the same focus. I guess I am focusing more on Nairobi because I stay here most of the time. Therefore, Nairobi is more evident. I was driving along the suburbs around Parliament, Riverside to be precise. I saw a small kiosk coming up. If nobody gets it down the next day they will be two and the next day they will be four. Before you know it there is a slum. I know we are facing challenges and we must deal with the people who are struggling to live and do their small businesses, ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: From the onset, I support and encourage our young Members who are here that even as you are given the opportunity, it is not because the Chair is biased, but because of a number of reasons which are very parliamentary. One of which is that I am in the House and you cannot give somebody an opportunity unless they are in the House. The other being that I am a ranking Member. When the other speaker was speaking, she said that you must have strict adherence to the law, but also practice of other parliaments. I hope you can actually ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: It is Parliamentary practice all over. Beyond that, let them also just attend especially these sessions where you do serious parliamentary business. The others are serious, but this is the serious legislative work when you are doing the Second Reading or when you are in the Committee of the whole House. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Having said that, I want to say that I am the Chairperson of the Parliamentarians for Global Action, a network of Parliamentarians globally that works on issues of rule of law, human rights, peace and security. We have been discussing these issues a lot. So, I am happy that this Bill has come. I know that when the Chairman of the Committee was seconding the Bill, he spoke to the fact that whenever we talk about nuclear, it has a negative connotation. That is because of the history of the wrong use of nuclear and nuclear weapons. For instance, we ... view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Several years later, you still see the effect on women and children. Many children are born deformed. That is why whenever you give people an opportunity, everybody thinks about the negative consequences. That is why the world came up with many international treaties. Many of the treaties came about around 1945 or post 1945, which was as a response to some of the things that the world had witnessed. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: One of those treaties included the Treaty of Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and Kenya is a signatory to that treaty. The objective of that Treaty includes: (a) To prevent spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology. (b) To promote cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. (c) To further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmourment. That Treaty has three pillars. (i) Non proliferation. (ii) Disarmourment. (iii) The right to peacefully use nuclear technology. view
• 20 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have said that Kenya has ratified that Treaty. If you look at the content of this Bill - and because of the short duration, I may not go to all of them - you will see that Kenya as a non-nuclear producer has paid a lot more attention on the third pillar, which is the right to peacefully use of nuclear technology. view
