• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: No. It is in Clause 35. Sorry. view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you look at the amendment proposed by the Chair in clause 35(1), the Directorate shall not provide information to a person below the age of 21 years, unless the information is necessary for a medical procedure relating to the minor. That is not a minor. Secondly, we have already said it is not a minor who will seek information, but a person who is 21. A minor may, through a legal guardian, give notice to seek information. So, why are we referring to a minor seeking information? That is why I was saying we use ... view

• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: uncommon solutions. We cannot, therefore, go by the way of Commonwealth when we know that Kenya is absolutely corrupt. If we are corrupt, we must provide standards which are uncommon and deterrent. If you provide discretion like in this case--- Clause 39 is seeking to provide that nobody should carry out assisted reproduction unless the person has a license. You will find someone producing babies using pigs’ gametes in River Road, then we fine them Kshs100,000 because that is a minimum? I may not push too much for that now, but at a later date, we need to provide a ... view
• 17 Nov 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I can actually read for him, because I have opened the two papers. Hon.
