• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: If you heard what the magistrate said, you will find that it attests to the things that we are saying here. If you look at what was actually said in court and what the charge sheet reads--- Indeed, it is unfortunate that we had our police officers killed and really, I want to send my condolences to the families, but the law must be followed. We care for our policemen but we also care for other Kenyans. The fact that the police were killed is not an excuse to disobey the law and not follow the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am worried that they might charge the Members of the Committee when they are doing their work. I am actually asking for a third Committee that will advise the police on issues of discrimination. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am raising quorum; we need to go and do soul searching. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I know the hon. Minister has the right to seek consultation, I am just wondering whether it is in order in a matter of this magnitude for him to be getting consistent directions and guidance from hon. Kimunya. When his own colleague asked to give information, hon. Kimunya told him to say “no” and he said “no”. We are watching from here. He is view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had indicated concerns before we rose about education standards at the university. I had also given general comments. I just want to look at specific clauses in the Bill. I will refer the Minister to Clause 13. I will bring an amendment for one of the standards that need to be included. The standards provided under Clause 13 should relate to infrastructure. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is also provision for degrees, including honorary degrees. Again, I will indicate that we need to provide for standards, especially for degrees. This is because nowadays, we have provided for ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister clarify whether he is aware of the existence of a law called Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act that gives him a framework to do what he is seeking to do outside the legal framework? I have raised this issue in the past and whenever people hear the word “trafficking” they become jittery but it actually gives a proper and very good legal framework for he Minister to do what he is trying to do and which is actually not his mandate. It lies in another Ministry. So, is the Minister aware of such a ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to seek a supplementary request in relation to the same Statement. Could the Minister, please, clarify what they will do in relation to places that are far like Remba Island, Ringiti Island, Tawawiri/Mfangano Island where our people are not able to get their IDs because there are no facilities? There are no boats and the officials there like chiefs do view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is one of the commissions that have not generated the greatest confidence in itself. From what the hon. Members have said, you can see that this Commission needs more time than what is indicated. If you look at the injustices that it will be dealing with, including issues of gender, issues of insecurity in Marigat, Baringo and other areas like we are seeing now, they are from historical injustices. My suggestion is that I will push an amendment that they be given an extension but only to give a report because they cannot do ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Bill and thank the Minister for bringing it at this point. Indeed, I am glad that the Minister promised that she will bring the Bill before Parliament is dissolved because we had raised certain issues and concerns regarding it. Therefore, I want to congratulate the Minister. Nonetheless, I want to say that some of the issues that the Minister promised; indeed, for me the major concerns are not addressed here. I want to indicate that in the past, whenever you travelled all over the world one of the ... view
• 20 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, the hon. Member is lucky that I can actually single out Keroka because it actually has one, even if a bad one. Where I come from, I cannot single out because there is none even a bad one. In Mbita Constituency, there is absolutely none. So, I cannot even give it as an example. So, I am saying Keroka has at least something, even though a bad one. So, I want Keroka to have a very good one and I want Mbita to have equally good one. Not a bad one. I do not ... view
