• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. My concern is basically on the way the Leader of the Majority Party is moving the amendments. Given that we have a lot of business to deal with before the House, I was just wondering if he could move them the way we normally do, which is: “That, I move that the Clause is amended as per the Order Paper” and then he can give an explanatory note. That way, we will end up saving a lot of time. view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for this Bill. Now that we are on the path of extending time for constitutional deadlines, I urge the Leader of the Majority Party together with the Liaison Committee and the House Business Committee (HBC) to ensure that we have the Bills brought in good time. On the Business Registration Service Bill, I had wanted to bring amendments but because of the speed within which we are moving, it is close to impossible to do comprehensive or meaningful legislative work because we have to ... view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I can see Hon. Chepkong’a purporting to be Hon. Millie Odhiambo. I do not know why. Maybe, it is because he is positive towards the womenfolk. Even though he has said one or two things, he is a good guy who supports us. view
• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: I would like to thank the Committee and the Leader of the Majority Party for this Bill, which seeks to enhance the economic potential of this country. As I congratulate them, I would like to inform my sister, Hon. Sunjeev; that right now, the Opposition side has eight Members seated in the House, while the Government side has only five Members. We will be encouraging them to take the business of the House more seriously, like the Opposition is doing. view

• 25 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is Hon. Duale in order to discriminate against women? The Constitution says that you shall not discriminate directly or indirectly. What he has done is to discriminate indirectly by only pointing out and praising men when I, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, is equal to 30 Duales. We can take a judicial notice of that in this country. Everybody knows I can deal with Hon. Duale perpendicularly. You need 30 Duales to deal with me. So, let him be warned. view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I have listened to the Members and especially the Hon. Colleague from Mvita. I think he has some sense though I do not support him. I can see what he was belabouring to say. If we had institutions that were true to their positions and their calling, then this amendment would not be necessary. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the Constitution, it is very clear under Article 117(1). It says:- “There shall be freedom of speech and debate in Parliament”. Article 117(2) states:- “Parliament may, for ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: outside Parliament, and be covered by privilege. So, to that extent, I would agree with Hon. Nassir, except that I think it is not necessarily a reason that I would oppose this. But it is something that we can cure by the legislation that is being brought by Hon. Adan Keynan. For me, I will not oppose but I would want to say that we provide very clearly, under which part we should exclude so that, as Hon. Nassir says, we do not create potential tyrants. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as Members of Parliament, some of the things that we ... view
• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Actually, a sober judgement would go the way you are saying but, I think I understand Hon. Kaluma. The frustration of Hon. Kaluma would be the sort of judgements that are coming out the courts that do not seem to adhere to the law. In all honesty, we do not need this amendment if the courts stayed true to what the Constitution says in Article 117. It is sufficient but, what he is doing is to make sure that there is no doubt whatsoever as to what Parliament intends. What we have seen in ... view
