• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You know this one is a simba who is a rat. I would want to request and urge that you make a ruling on this matter. This is a very weighty issue. We are a new House and this is going to guide how this House is going to operate for the next years. The Leader of Majority Party has spoken very well and I want to agree with him, which is very rare, that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill only pertains to minor amendments. I want to agree with my young brother ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am requesting for a substantive ruling from the Chair on whether this Bill should actually be debated at all because it actually goes against the rules of the House.

• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to agree with the hon. Member that this Statement has not been adequately responded to especially when I heard from the hon. Member that he was not invited before the Committee. Since we have changed the format of our governance structure, we do not have a Cabinet Secretary who can be here to respond directly. Therefore, when a matter goes before a committee, the committee must invite all Members that are interested in this issue to interrogate the committee. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is not an issue that only affects Turkana. ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would request for your indulgence. I really wanted to contribute on the previous Motion, but I do understand that we are many hon. Members. However, the reason why I want to contribute is because today happens to be the Universal Day for children and we have children in the galleries. You also notice we have two Motions touching on children and we have put them last. So, I wanted the Chair’s indulgence going by your discretion under Standing Order No.1, read together with Standing Order No. 40. With due respect, I want ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I wish to oppose the Report and in so doing I will try to be very brief. In this country we have very few people who are extremely passionate about anything. It is good coincidence that we are doing this today when it is the Universal Day for Children and tomorrow will be the World Fisheries Day. Mr. Mututho is very passionate about these two things. We have seen what Mututho laws have done. Every person in this House is affected directly by the issue of alcoholism. When this law ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I am asking if you could exercise your discretion that you are granted under Standing Orders, to prioritize Motions under Order Nos. 13 and 14 that talk about children given that today is the Universal Day for children. It is unfortunate that we are dealing with the Universal Day for Children and we are not prioritizing issues of children that are already in the Order Paper. I am asking if we can put it up on the Order Paper. Thank you. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is okay, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. It is only that you got me off guard. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to support but in doing so, I would want to say that I know that one of the biggest problems that we have had with the old Act is especially on issues of compensation. Compensation for human-wildlife conflict, if you look at Clause 9 against Clause 79, is very imbalanced. We are giving more value to animals than we are attaching to human beings and I think that is why the ... view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to say that as a matter of urgency, instead of the Senate and us fighting over our mandate and roles, we need to sit and very quickly harmonize our roles. If the Senate is not very clear about their roles, they have very brilliant lawyers and so do we. We can put out heads together and help the country move forward. view
• 20 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I am very happy that this talks about in-situ and ex-situ conservation because it will ensure that we do not just focus on the natural habitat but also have regard to the fact that the natural habitat is over-exploited and, therefore, we must find new ways of ensuring that there is conservation. I am also happy with the provision on sustainable conservation because it takes care of our children and the future.
