• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: boat found with undersize Nile Perch will face dire consequences.” There is a shoot-to-kill decree on Kenyan fishermen by Ugandan authorities. I also want to read for you Resolution Number 12. Because of time, I cannot read all of them. It says that: “Respect the law. All arrested boats will be crushed and burnt while the outboard engines will be forfeited to the State of Uganda”. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: The crushing of boats, the arresting and jailing of fishermen on a weekly basis is ongoing. Resolution Number 13 says: “All lake patrols in Lake Victoria Ugandan waters are conducted by Ugandan People’s Defence Forces and have “UPDF” clearly marked on their uniforms. If arrested by any other organisation and your items are confiscated, note clearly the name of the boat, commander of the team discretely to avoid harm and immediately after they leave you, report to the regional captain of UPDF for investigation and follow up. Caution: Do not demand identification as it may be detrimental to you as ... view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I agree with the Leader of the Majority Party that there are constituencies that have “ wazito ” and that when they leave their seats, whoever takes them must live that level. Is he in order to imply that there are no women of that calibre? You must also say the constituencies where Hon. Martha Karua and Hon. Charity Ngilu come from. There are women who are powerful. When I finally exit, the Member who takes my seat must be of the same weight as view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to interrupt our good child protectionist. However, I want to say from a victim protection perspective that it is not right to cast any doubt on a person who comes forward and alleges that she was raped. It is one of the worst mistakes which we can do. I would rather be shocked when I find out that the kids lied than cast aspersions on a child who says that she was raped because you will stop her from seeking any further help. It is important that he knows that ... view

• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to support this Bill. The Members have spoken a lot to the architectural, structural and transitional issues and I will not speak to that. I support it because it provides social security for employees of county governments especially upon retirement. Members have spoken at length and I will just speak to some issues which I think need amendments. As we think about the structural issues, we need to get our mind frame off county councils to county governments. We are not talking about councils because we now ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: sychronise with the definition in the Marriage Act, so that we do not create a crash between laws. I notice the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning is not here, but I would have benefited from a better understanding of the word ‘sponsor’ beyond employer. I am not talking about the social sponsor, but the sponsor as defined in the Bill. They have phrased the word sponsor as ‘amongst others’. I am just curious about which sponsor they are talking about, now that we have other sponsors. view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Yes, because if they leave it open, nowadays we have so many slay queens and kings speaking about sponsors. Therefore, we need to tighten the definition of sponsor. Clause 6(1) is about the board of trustees and many people have spoken to it on the issue of gender balance. I will not complain much on this because it tries to abide by the constitutional provisions of one-third. I want to talk to it in relation to the county architecture and the framework which most of us think is about county councils. The county government has a legislative and executive framework. ... view
• 3 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: I think there should be a proviso. When I used to represent women in court, I discovered that when men knew they were about to retire and they had obligations to their children in terms of school fees, they would very quickly go and get the benefits without the family knowing. Once they get a lumpsum benefit and they have kids going to school, they have no other recourse. We should think about that provision. There is a clause that says that this pension should not be subject to attachment for purposes of any award in court. It should be ... view
