• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: For the next one Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Committee Report on the Treaty and the Protocol. The Protocol speaks to issues that are of concern to us on the matters of peace and security. As the Mover and the Seconder have indicated, there are many issues that affect us in the region, some of which are very unique to Kenya, especially the issues of terrorism and our porous borders. It is one of those crimes that would require joint effort by different countries. Another issue that would require joint effort by different countries is the issue of trafficking ... view

• 27 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I am the one who moved this Act. Even as I was moving it, it was one of those things you do to ensure that you meet the constitutional obligations. Increasingly, this is one of the laws that I am very proud of having brought before this House. It gives us a chance, as Parliament, to deal with a lot of the protocols and treaties that Kenya is negotiating on our behalf. I am only saddened that when we are dealing with issues that are of this magnitude and that affect this country, very few of us are usually present ... view

• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I can see my good friend and neighbour, Hon. Mbadi, is wondering why I am given preference, but the Bible says:- “The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent ones take it by force”. So, when you have a Speaker who is very conscious about issues of gender, then we must be given priority. I support this Bill, of course, with amendments. I will personally be moving amendments in relation to what Hon. Jakoyo has said in relation to Clause 27. There may be one or two other amendments ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: One of the other issues that we must look at in tandem with this is the issue of public participation. Now that we have extended the one year period, I am hoping that within that one year period, we must bring to this Parliament a Bill, which is five years in the making, that guides public participation. I want to speak to this in relation to the unfortunate incident that happened in this House when there was a disagreement between women who wanted to present their views and my good friend Hon. T.J. Kajwang’, who was presiding. I know that ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I know Hon. Simba Arati is saying, “Hon. from Zimbabwe”. However, this is an honourable from Zimbabwe who has settled in Lambwe Valley, Mbita Constituency. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On this one, I agree with the Committee, save that I notice that there are certain amendments that were agreed between us and the Committee, but which are absent. They are in the background documents but they are not on the Order Paper. I had requested the Leader of the Majority Party that if we complete the Bill now, we will not have an opportunity for recommittal and we have requested for a recommittal on a few things. Otherwise, on this, I support the amendment. view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: On this one, I support the amendment. It is a technical amendment because we are changing the word “Minister” to “Cabinet Secretary”. view
