• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. In terms of order, I was just wondering because they probably relate to two different things. I do not know what the Chairman is talking about in terms of the amendment. However, I wanted to contribute to the first amendment to Clause 6. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to oppose the amendment for the same reason that I withdrew my initially proposed opposition to his earlier amendment to Clause 5. If the Chair were to be consistent, or if he is saying that this is superfluous, we are coming with prenuptial agreements which are not new to Kenya. For avoidance of doubt, the same reason that he used for emphasis, we need to be sure that if somebody was coerced--- If I get into a union and I am coerced, I must be sure that I have recourse in the ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support the amendment for the following reason: Contrary to what hon. Prof. Nyikal has said, this principle is already a constitutional principle. So, what we are basically doing is to give guidance and direction on how it is done by law. Otherwise, we will be leaving it to the discretion of the courts and we will be leaving our responsibilities to the courts. The Constitution is very clear about equal rights before, during and after the dissolution of a marriage. So, really, it is not anything worth a choice; it is constitutional and ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all I want to thank the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for this report. From the outset, I support with amendments. Last week I was in a meeting that was going side by side with the Pan African Parliament. One of the things that was very clear is that as a country we excel in laws. We do a lot of laws and we are way ahead of most of the countries in the region in drafting laws. We are, however, way behind every country in the implementation of the ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, this is an excellent law, but, again, like every other law I am sure that we will shove it away somewhere and not deal with it. I, therefore, would like to suggest to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that we need to substantively amend this law to align it with the realities of this country. I will start with the political parties. You are giving so much faith and credence to the political parties. I do not have that much faith in political parties. These are vehicles that we use to come to this House. All ... view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: most women candidates to achieve and so it had to be revised in this House. We should not put that much faith in IEBC. view
• 24 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I can see that one of the things we are providing for is regulation on the amount of media time that would be given to candidates and political parties. Again, this is very unrealistic. For instance, I know of a media house that purported to support my party during the last election but if you read their sub-line messages and looked at the colours that the anchors kept on wearing during that period, you would realise that they had absolutely no indication of supporting our party. So, those are matters we need to leave to media houses to decide, so ... view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I wish to congratulate hon. Jamleck Kamau for bringing this Motion. While I support, I wish to bring an amendment to the Motion and my amendment would include the words “the two Deputy Speakers of the National Parliament” to be inserted after the words “National Parliament” appearing on the eighth line and to also include “the Deputy Chief Justice” after the words “Chief Justice”. view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not know whether I could read the Motion as I am proposing to amend or I just give the essence of the Motion? view
• 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: on. Speaker, now I can read the Motion as it appears after the proposed amendment. It reads: “THAT, aware that the Government has limited financial resources; given the new governance structures that have occasioned devolution of funds; noting that public and State officers constitute a significant part of the Government; cognizant of the fact that the Government has to cater for their official duties, including transport and other facilitation within and outside the country; conscious of the need to reduce the burden on the taxpayer, this House resolves that all State and public officers, including officers of constitutional commissions, county ... view
