• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we are actually looking at this matter the second time is because the Executive failed to follow the Constitution. So, we would want to encourage the Executive to stop embarrassing us and follow the Constitution. That is because if it will not be dropped here, it will be stopped outside by the Judiciary. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to indicate that even though hon. Duale has been forced to withdraw, but we have heard of allegations of human rights violation even in the cases as the police are trying ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, based on the argument that the Minister has given, I am not persuaded. Fines are not meant to be a shopping spree where you go to a supermarket and say that you can afford or you cannot afford. It is meant to be punitive. If you want to discourage the culture of impunity in this country, we cannot impose fines which you can borrow from neighbours and tell them to conduct a harambee to help you. I oppose. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also want to go on record. If you look at the offence that is being caused--- view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, even if I had been part of that negotiating team, I would still have opposed that. I do not mind being a lone voice. If you look at the offence, you will find that it is causing death by “dangerous driving” and not just “driving.” “Dangerous driving” means that you find a person driving like a mad person on our roads. You cause death by dangerous driving and we become sympathetic? Really, if we had allowed the death sentence, that is what you should get although I do not support it. The life sentence would ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. Is the hon. Minister in order to mislead this House? In law, every word has value. The moment you say “dangerous driving”--- If you just say “accidental driving” that is a different thing. But is he in order to mislead the House by misquoting the law and trying to teach me the law when I am the lawyer? Is he in order? view

• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just wondering whether the Government side is going to tell us something about the teachers’ strike, because teachers have always been demonstrating outside Parliament Buildings. Really, with the situation that we have in the country now, unless the Minister can give us an indication as to what they are doing to address the crisis by the striking teachers, the country will think that we are not doing our work. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. My concern is that Dr. Nuh raised a very fundamental issue which has not been dealt with. There are several issues in Clause 2 and it would be good to know what the Minister is against in the amendment; we need to know whether what Dr. Eseli is saying relates to the entire clause, and whether the Minister is opposing only certain sections of the clause. view
• 20 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I wish to oppose the amendment by the Committee because it negates the whole spirit of the Bill. The Bill is seeking to protect our children by ensuring that they are provided with breast milk. Therefore, for us to discourage activities and actions, we would actually be going in the opposite direction. With those few remarks, I oppose. I would like to tell hon. C. Kilonzo that when we are trained by SUNY we have not brought legislation here. So, he is actually giving a very interesting angle on this matter. view
