• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Now that everybody is asking for votes, let me also start by asking the people of Mbita to vote me as the Member for Mbita. Having said that, I think there must be something good about asking, maybe because we are within the 16 days of activism on gender-based violence. So, that is why my good friend Dr. Khalwale is remembering the women and Senator Anyang’-Nyong’o. I will be very brief on this. I want to thank the Budget Committee for presenting this Report. The only thing I would want to say is ... view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is not a Lower House! view
• 27 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Member in order to refer to this House as a Lower House, because he wants us to start engraining the Senate as an Upper House when it is not? They are equal Houses. I sat in the Committee that came up with the Constitution. They are equal Houses. But in terms of powers, the Senate is actually a weaker House. So, is he in order to mislead the House? view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to agree with the Assistant Minister that our KDF have done an excellent job in the past and that is why we cannot allow them to do any shoddy work now. Therefore, I would want to ask the Assistant Minister to clarify the issue where it is indicated, that there was no deployment of the military. If I read from the Wikipedia, “deployment” means to position troupes in readiness for combat. The other definition is to bring forces into action. So, if you bring forces into action, that is deployment. ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion and because people have lauded Mrs. Yatani, I will not add but I want to say that she has very impressive credentials. I also want to say that indeed I am happy that we are fulfilling the constitutional provision of inclusion of marginalised communities. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the only thing I would want to urge is that the Government must act with speed to ensure that the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) is operational because currently, I really doubt whether there is even any commissioner that has a term ... view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. In supporting, I will try to be very brief. I want to just thank the Minister for consolidating the law. As a lawyer, I know a lot of times it is very difficult when you are seeking to refer to laws and you find that you have 20 pieces of legislation dealing with one subject matter. So, I really want to thank the Minister. It is, indeed, a good trend that this House has taken in this Tenth Parliament. view
• 22 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Minister for consolidating the different activities that relate to agriculture broadly defined. I only want to just raise some concerns in relation to the Bill. One, if you look at the Constitution, the national Government has a policy mandate in relation to agriculture. If you look at the county governments, the functions and powers of the county governments are agriculture including crop and animal husbandry, livestock and county abattoirs, plant and animal disease control and fisheries. Therefore, my concern is that if you actually look at the way the ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Whereas I do not know where Mr. ole Lankas is, this Question is very important because it affects very many people. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the comprehensive response. He has indicated that they are not targeting any ethnic community. Could he give the ethnicity of the persons who have been arrested if there is no ethnic profiling? view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to support the application by hon. Kapondi, but request that we add either the Committee on Equal Opportunities or the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because of the issues of discrimination and ethnic profiling that have been indicated. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this morning I was with hon. Ethuro and hon. Nanok in court when the charge was declared by the court as defective and I found it very curious. view
