• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I know that this amendment is very well intentioned, unfortunately the reality would dissuade me from supporting it. Just last month, I was assisting a woman candidate who was in a by- election for councillorship. I spent the greater part of my time outside Parliament helping her to chase after these certificates of clearance. She was almost locked out; fortunately, she went ahead and won. At one point, I had to send her things on e-mail and so on. It is really ridiculous that what is intended to be very good is then abused. Hon. Linturi ... view

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the Motion. In doing so, I want to encourage hon. Members that, as we go home, we remember to preach peace. As we all know, there are premature campaigns going on. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make one comment about the persons we appointed to senior positions in Parliament. I want to congratulate those who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes and who are retiring. I want to also congratulate the ones who are coming in. I want to just thank the Committee for choosing exceptional people. I have known Mr. Nyegenye ... view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what you have said is what we did yesterday in respect of some of the amendments by hon. Gumbo. The Assistant Minister raised something very fundamental. I do not know whether we have specific timelines. If we do not, I would personally encourage that we do this tomorrow. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have, indeed, heard the Minister. I was actually going to raise this at the beginning, but we had another Parliamentary Committee meeting. The Speaker had actually ruled before that we should not be having them when the House is sitting. I am one of the few hon. Members that hon. Martha Karua said are always in the House. I want to tell you that today I am here as an “ornament” because I have not read those Rules. Can we, please, have copies and read them as we go on? Otherwise, we will not be ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I want to congratulate the Minister for bringing this Bill, save that I do not know if there is a problem because I can see the title outside it is being referred to as the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service Bill and inside it is the Seed and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill. I do not know whether the Minister could just clarify because then it means we are looking at two Bills in one. Other than seeking that, I just want to say that when we ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate hon. Laboso for bringing this Bill to this House. Indeed, I want to indicate that when I came to Parliament, we shared with hon. Laboso that I had an interest in a similar Bill. Hon. Namwamba coincidentally had a similar interest. I did intimate to hon. Laboso that I will let my interest cease so long as she promises that she will pursue it to the logical conclusion. So, I want to thank hon. Laboso for living up to her promise and for doing ... view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Minister for a very well-crafted Bill. I want to thank the Minister that within the short time that he has been at the Ministry, he has done an excellent job albeit sometimes with a little drama. But I think it is because he epitomizes the rights of the child as enshrined in the Constitution which is the right to dress and the right to play. So, Minister, please continue protecting the rights of our children in the Ministry. I also want to laud the ... view
