• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I had already commenced moving and I just want to say that this Bill, from what is provided in the long title, is an Act of Parliament to give effect to Article 59 of the Constitution to provide for protection of victims of crime and abuse of power and to provide them--- Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. To provide for reparation and compensation to victims, to provide special protection for vulnerable victims and for connected purposes. If you look at Article 50(9) of the Constitution that it seeks to give effect to, it provides that:- “(9) Parliament ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is presumed that the State will treat the victims with dignity and protect their rights. But that is not the case. If you look at Articles 49 and 50 of the Constitution on what the Constitution provides on the offender, you will find that you have very lengthy provisions in relation to offenders of crimes. But when you look at the victims of crime, there is very little. It is only a paragraph that some of us pushed through when we were doing the constitutional review process. If I go to the Bill, it defines the ... view

• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. Just for clarity, I just want to know because the last time; just before we went on recess hon. Gladys Nyasuna Wanga had moved a similar Motion. I do not know why we are moving this because I am presuming that, that Motion that hon. (Ms.) Nyasuna moved still stays. That is the reason why I have moved my Bill for ten minutes. I had a balance of eight minutes. Having said that, I would also want to ask the House Business Committee, because from what I am hearing from the Mover, ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I was just saying that last time, before we went on recess, hon. (Ms.) Nyasuna had moved a similar Motion which I presume still stands. I do not know the essence of moving a similar Motion. Secondly, just before this Motion was moved, I was about to move a similar Motion but the opposite, seeking to allocate more time. I am raising the point of order in respect to what the Seconder did. While speaking, he said that we will be targeting specific Bills. But while moving, I did not hear the Mover talk about targeting specific The electronic version ... view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support. I want to congratulate hon. Ichung’wah for this Bill which is an amendment Bill. What I like about it is that it is declaring alcoholism a disease. I think in the last Parliament I was very involved in this issue and when we spoke to several hon. Members, each and every one I spoke to was affected very directly either their brother, sister, husband or wife was directly affected by alcoholism. By treating this issue, I hope for most of us when we are talking, we are thinking of the poor, miserable ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity. I want to, at the outset, say that I support, but with proposed amendments. I am very happy that the hon. Member who has just spoken ahead of me--- We share a lot in terms of thoughts. I will speak very briefly on the issue of miscellaneous amendments. I hope your office will be guiding us even as we move forward. I am glad that this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) is even smaller. Last year, we had two Bills; this one and another one! They were very heavy. ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Having said that, I agree with what the hon. Member who has spoken before me has said with regard to urban areas and cities. This is one of the areas that we need to think through very carefully. We need to understand the import of the amendments. Again, because of the voluminous nature of this - and I am yet to look at it - I think the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
