• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: What I am asking is how comfortable we are with the Commissioner of Police dealing with this matter if, indeed, the police force itself is suspect. How can the Assistant Minister assure us that they are going to stop this tide of police brutality? Just the other day, we watched how Mr. Waititu was being treated. It does not matter what he did but there are laws to follow. You cannot treat people that way. There are many deaths of young Kenyans occurring in the hands of police. What we saw 20 years ago is coming back to this country. ... view
• 17 Apr 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
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that I have not looked at the rules, could I, please, be given more time to Thursday, so that we can interrogate? view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the hon. Member for Ol Kalou for bringing this petition. I just want to indicate that the hon. Attorney-General is here and he should advise the Government that it is unconstitutional and untenable; it should be redressed before it reaches the Equal Opportunity Committee of which I am a member. There is no reason why you should have different standards for persons with disabilities. I support. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. If we let the Assistant Minister get off the hook with such an answer, then our proceedings would basically be cosmetic, because if you ask a Minister a Question and he says that he is not aware, then everybody here would say he is not aware. Then why can we in the Back Bench not go and take over their jobs so that we are aware? If he is not aware, we can do his work! view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not that it is not generating a lot of interest. Many of us are waiting for you to rule whether the Assistant Minister should bring a comprehensive answer. That is why we are not giving any comments because we do not think he has given any comprehensive answer. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also wish to seek your ruling and in your ruling you know that we are implementing a new Constitution and we are going to be setting precedence by what we do in this House and by what rulings that are made in court. What I would want to draw your attention to is what the provisions of the Constitution are, in terms of time lines. The President forwarded a memorandum within given time lines. If that memorandum is not in order and the President either amends or brings a ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, indeed, today, I am actually shocked that we have been taken by the nature of debate back to 1992 when I started the agitation for reforms in this country. Some of the utterances that have been made here are tantamount to telling us as members of the Back Bench to sit in pantomime as things are brought in and passed. Personally, I do not know about the others but I refuse. I will never do that. view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, we have fought for reforms in this country for a long time and we respect our President and the Government, but when there is an error, we will correct it. When we think they are violating the law, we will show it. I think it is actually in error that--- Some of us think that when we are raising these issues, it is in disrespect to the Office of the President; that is very far from the truth. view
