• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I was disappointed when only one person showed up when we were passing the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, which was addressing some of the concerns that the church had. We passed it in this House and at the point when we were passing it, I was very sad that they did not appear. This time round, I tell the church and religious leaders, including those that are not Christians, that I am able and willing to sit down with them and discuss their concerns in this Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to give a brief overview of the Bill. Because I know we have a heavy legislative agenda, let me not get drunk with my own brew. I want to just give an overview of what the Bill has. Part I is preliminary, which in most Bills is basically about definitions. Part II provides for the establishment, powers and functions of the In-Vitro Fertilisation Authority. This is the authority that will be setting standards that will deal with regulations. Basically, it will be the main body that will deal with issues of in-vitro fertilisation. ... view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Part VI is on licensing; Part VII is on financial provisions and Part VIII is on miscellaneous provisions. I do not want to go into details. This is not a very big Bill. I am sure that hon. Members have gone through it. With those few remarks, I beg to move. I ask my dear sister, who has within the short time distinguished herself as an excellent legislator, to second. Earlier this morning, we just dealt with her Motion on translating laws into Kiswahili. Thank you. view

• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support the Bill with amendments. This is a timely Bill because it is one of the Bills with a constitutional deadline. I still want to put a challenge to the Committee on Implementation of the Constitution that they need to be more alert and do their work. My worry with this Bill is that the area or discipline of judicial review is a very wide area. Giving six pages of a Bill to it is not doing sufficient justice to that discipline of the law. Having said that, hon. Kaluma, the ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We know that a lot of our officers in this country have been fairly mischievous. What a person can do is to put an administrative notice inside their office or on a very obscure public notice board and consider that as public notice. So, I would suggest that we adopt the practice we adopted in the last Parliament by saying that the public notice may be in the Kenya Gazette or in regular newspapers. I am very happy that a linkage is provided with the Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ). However, I would want to request the Departmental Committee on ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: have a situation where people will be hiding under the guise that no timeline is provided. Somebody might decide three or six years is not unduly long, if it is not specified. That is a very dangerous provision. Another concern I have is that we are saying this matter or complaint must be brought within a period of six months. I wish we could extend it to one year, especially for a lot of Kenyans in rural Kenya who will take quite a lot of time to know this. Even when they know, because of challenges of resources and time, ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I am a little sad because I wanted to speak to the Report, but I know once I get a point of order I may not have the opportunity. I did not want to speak to the issue raised under the Standing Orders. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I would like us to remain firm on issues of the rule of law. One of the reasons we are here, and I was listening very carefully to the Chairman, is that the House has gone to the lowest level that we have ever been. Part of the reason that we have gone to that lowest level is because we have failed to adhere to the fidelity of the law. I say this with utmost due respect even to the Chair that sometimes we raise very weighty issues and you give us rulings on the spot. The issues that have ... view
