• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, they would be unconstitutional because they do not conform to the Bill of Rights. Even though you would cite the case that Hon. Alice mentioned, I know she and I have litigated a lot under Family Law. She actually picked words from my mouth that under Kikuyu Customary Law, a family has a right to get compensated where an unmarried girl gets pregnant. If I were to speak in terms of rights, the person who benefits normally is the father. It is not the father who gets pregnant; it is the girl, and so it is ... view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, yes, even when there is consensus, under the customary law, it is not the woman who is compensated. It is the father. So even when I have consented and I am pregnant, I should be compensated and not my father, under customary law. I think when magistrates are dealing with matters like these, they must be alive to issues of human rights. Another issue that I am very concerned about is the reference to sub-clause (3)(e)(ii) that talks about adoption and legitimacy. Unless I am corrected, legitimacy probably has reference to wedlock, because it is a ... view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with you indulgence, because I can see that my time is up, I will take a little time to respond to the issue you have raised. view
• 6 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Okay, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Within those two minutes, which is the time I needed--- view

Perhaps, when the House leadership sits, it is one issue that I have raised--- In terms of parliamentary practice, what has always obtained is that Members raise issues at Second Reading and the Committee adopts them, so that we do not have every Member bringing amendments. Now we have so many amendments by individual Members because the Committee Report has gone ahead of us. Maybe, that is something you need to look at. Finally, if this Bill had come earlier, perhaps Hon. Moses Kuria would have been arrested under Clause 9(h). Unfortunately, ... view

• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have listened to the brief by the Leader of the Majority Party. I was just wondering because I have seen a practice where we bring Bills and apparently the HBC does not give priority to Bills that have gone through the Second Reading, and should be coming for the Third Reading. Would it not be prudent if we gave priority to Bills that should be coming to the Committee of the whole House like the In- Vitro Fertilisation Bill for purposes of continuity? This is so that we do not have Bills that are done ... view
