• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: (b) how the Ministry protects children from harmful content of videos, especially in rural areas, where there is apparently no control/regulations. view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for a very comprehensive answer. What I would like him to inform the House is that in his answer he has indicated that there were several youth who were arrested for watching pornographic material. The emphasis seems to be on the consumer who is the category that we are trying to protect instead of targeting the suppliers. The youth and the young persons are the ones whose morals are being corrupted. What are they doing to focus more on the supplier than on the consumer? view
• 10 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, contrary to what the Assistant Minister is saying, it is not really a question of a weak legal framework but it is really a question of lack of effective implementation by the Government. The Sexual Offences Act has very comprehensive provisions; that is protecting children from harmful content or pornographic material. What will the Government do to ensure that all the laws that protect children including the Children Act, the Sexual Offences Act and the regulations and laws he has quoted are implemented? He does not need any further laws; it is an issue of implementation. view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: By inference! view
• 9 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Going by the mood of the House, would I be in order to ask that the Mover be called upon to respond? This is a standing tradition of the House; the new rules that we are being told about today are pretty strange! view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the sandblasting uses compressors to spray sand against the jeans. The sand contains crystal in silica or silicon oxygen particles which, when inhaled get impeded in lungs and cause respiratory diseases. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister says it only affects workers. However, given what gets impeded is the particles, could he confirm what technology is used to clear those particles from faded jeans? If he does not have a way of knowing that it is cleared from faded jeans, then it does not just affect the workers, but the wearers of the faded jeans. They are worn by young people. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to take up the challenge that the Assistant Minister has given us; that if you have any scientific proof, that we can provide it. I would be very willing, save that I am a lawyer, and the country has a whole Ministry in charge of that. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: This is the relevant Ministry. Have they done any research on this? If you paint a house, for instance, the persons, who have the direct impact get very affected. But a person who comes one month later, who is prone, or who may have an allergic reaction to that paint would still be affected one month later. Has the Government of Kenya - not the UK, who have done their own research and stopped - done any research to show that the residues do not remain in these “faded jeans” and thereby cause health risks to our young people, including ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I had raised the issue of flooding in Lambwe in a place called Ogando where people are not getting any assistance. Every day they are told to go to Obongo to get assistance, but they do not get any form of assistance. So, I think that wherever the Minister is, she must be concentrating in one place and yet this problem is widespread. So, is he order to mislead the House that the Minister is on the ground assisting and she is not in those places? view
