  • 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move an amendment to the Motion to delete the word “Saturday” appearing between the words “this House resolves that the Government declares one” and “each month be dedicated by every Kenyan” and replace therewith the word “Friday”. view
  • 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I am fully agreeable to the substantive Motion for obvious reasons. We know that most of our children, women and older persons are the ones who are severely affected by environmental concerns. That is why we have an increase in cancer and respiratory diseases. It is a very good gesture that we put a specific day when Kenyans focus specifically on environmental conservation and cleanliness. However, Saturday that we are picking is a day that many of my constituents, I included, worship. As members of Seventh Day Adventist Church, we do not touch even a broom or lift a finger ... view

  • 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to know the next Order because some of us have been seated here the whole afternoon with very specific interests. The way we are moving might be a bit unfair to Members because we come here when we know what is in the Order Paper. view
  • 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I wish to support the proposed amendment by Hon. Oner. The Constitution is very clear that when you are dealing with issues of the Bill of Rights, there is a specific way of limiting and that is between Articles 24 and 27 of the Constitution.

If we go the Chairlady’s way, we will be going unconstitutionally and we cannot make for future provisions for emergency care. We have just passed the Division of ... view

  • 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My point of order is that whereas I have no issue with the word “spouse,” I want the Committee Chair to indicate whether that word is defined. I know Hon. (Dr.) Christine says it is a matter of semantics. However, law is about semantics. If that word is not defined, then it will be about semantics. That is where we earn our salaries from. Can we know whether it is defined because if it is not, I would want to ask the Committee Chair to move a further amendment and define the word “spouse.” ... view

  • 15 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I feel like a Johnny-come-lately, in relation to this Bill. I had hoped to contribute when we were doing the Second Reading. I think we are doing a lot of disservice to this Bill. We do not even understand its contents. I am saying that very respectfully. I oppose the deletion of the word “conservation”. If you look at the Bill, the issue of conservation is at the heart of it. The issue of culture is a very minor aspect. view
