• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have not asked about the law but I have asked about legal representation which can be given in the absence of the law. So, what I am asking about is, if the Attorney- General is here, he will advise him that even for the interim, the Government can give them legal representation. What I want to know is whether the Government, using the Office of the Attorney-General, gives them state counsels to give them legal advice and representation? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, before I seek my supplementary question, I just wish to bring to your attention that the Assistant Minister was actually threatening us. I take it very seriously because the Commissioner has threatened me. Mr. Mbuvi was recently threatened that if he goes and reports issues he will be arrested and now the Assistant Minister is brave enough to come and threaten us before the Floor of the House. My supplementary question is; could the Assistant Minister tell us which police station is responsible for extra-judicial killings so that when they happen, we go and report there? view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) when he will make regulations under Section 53 of the Employment Act on activities that are deemed harmful to the health, safety and morals of a child between 13 years to 16 years of age; and, (b) what is considered “light work” that a child can undertake under the law. view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason I had requested for time was because the Minister had presented draft regulations which I needed time to look at. I have looked at the answer that he has given where he says that they are still polishing them. However, at the back, he says they now have the regulations and very soon they will table a Bill here to amend the Employment Act. Therefore, they cannot now work on the regulations. This Question is about employment of children under the age of 16 years. Work is harmful to children under 16 years. On ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in light of the questions that have been asked by Mr. Ethuro and other Members, there are many areas where young children are forced to work. In a place like Mbita, children are forced into fishing, especially children from child-headed households where parents have died. What Ms. Karua has raised is that, in the answer, the Minister says it is no longer prudent to pursue the draft rules at the moment and yet, on the other hand, he says that he will prioritize it. Since the Attorney-General is sitting next to him, could he tell us ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I would want to say that just like Dr. Khalwale, I am concerned about the loss of funds or presumed loss of funds belonging to Kenyans. As a person nominated by a party that stands for reforms and accountability, I want to agree that a serious inquiry must be done. It must be done absent politicization. Therefore, I want to urge my brother, Dr. Khalwale, to get politics out of this process and let the Government do its work. I know that there is usually an attempt to demonize the Efficiency Monitoring Unit ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Labour:- (a) when he will make regulations under Section 53 of the Employment Act on activities that are deemed harmful to the health, safety and morals of a child between 13- 16 years of age; and, (b) what is considered “light work” that a child can undertake under the law. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I am sorry that I was not in when my Question was called out. I was held up. view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: From the answer that he is giving, it actually depicts that the Government is not aware of how serious this issue is. Last year, I was involved in such issues because I have a person who is close to me who has a similar challenge. I was speaking to Members of Parliament. Each and everyone I spoke to has somebody very close to them in the family who is having a serious problem with drug and alcohol abuse. I have heard him say that they are training teachers to do counselling. The level of addiction is that you do not ... view
• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just concerned that the Assistant Minister is not taking this issue seriously. Regarding my question, all he did was to say that it was not in his mandate and he sat down. If it is a serious issue then why has he been putting a hands-off approach? So, would we be in order to request him to come back with a better answer? view
