• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: import, prima facie, of these amendments even on our counties and the resources may be very grave. So, until I am very sure of the import, I will be very reluctant to support that. I know that we have spoken about some provisions of these Bills in the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Co-operatives and I want to speak specifically to the issue of fisheries. I know that in our Committee, we agreed that we could support some of these amendments on condition that we are bringing the Bill on fishing. I am glad that the same day they ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: seriously because you are our boss here - will churn a lot of legislation, which is a good thing, but we must be very careful about the quality of the legislation. There is a reason why the issue of participation was put. As much as it was taking a little longer, there are certain authorities and practices that had been put in place, including giving an opportunity to the Office of the Attorney-General and the Committee on Constitution to just give their views. Even for us who are private Members, we are willing to do that. My two Bills which ... view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On a Point of Order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you Temporary Deputy Speaker, seeing that the Leader of Majority is not available, and he has not left his deputy or anybody on his side, would I be in order to request that the Leader of Minority do act now as the Leader of Majority until the Leader of Minority and his team return to the House? view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank hon. Wamunyinyi for bringing this Bill. Even though I am a lawyer by profession, the work I have done in the past has brought me within its realm. This Bill is timely. When I worked as an Executive Director of the Cradle, I did a lot of work in relation to counseling of children on issues of psychotherapy. One of the issues that were very problematic was the standards setting. I must confess that when I waded in that environment, I did not know the ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The other thing I can see provided for is the role of trustees. I agree with my brother, hon. Oyugi, that the board will be completely overwhelmed as it is given so many roles. I want to suggest also that the Chief Executive of the board be given ten years. We should take into account the issue of youth representation and employment, we need to reduce the period to five years. view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I want to congratulate the Member for specifically providing for gender inclusion. Even though it is provided for very clearly in the Constitution, Kenyans keep forgetting. The Bible tells us that even if they know, remind them anyway. So, in law, we need to specifically provide that we remind them. Even though I have time, I am mindful of the other Members. The other suggestion that I want to make is that the Member needs to define some terminologies very clearly. From my experience - I have done a bit of training, especially in child psychology - I would want ... view
• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. If it were up to me, I would rather the original amendment was not passed, but this is definitely a much better option than the first one. I would want to agree with hon. Ng’ongo that we need to remove the issue of property. The reason why I am saying that this is much better is because if the police have to use force, it should be justified. I would have even preferred that they are not given any discretion because it tends to be abused in most cases. They will still use extra-judicial ... view

• 30 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to know about the minutes for the Motion that we have just passed. How many minutes do I have in total to move? view
