• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. To enable us undertake our legislative, oversight and representation roles effectively, I would wish to request to be guided on whether when we go to the next Order, which is the Committee of the whole House, we are going to deal with the Kenya Library Services Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with your kind indulgence, this is because there was a communication earlier in the morning by the Speaker. I would like to know whether the position has since changed and we are dealing with it and the one ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not talking of the substance of the debate. We legislate, represent and oversee. I have amendments to that Bill. It would not be kind especially for somebody like me who is always in the House, and if I have something else to do, to sit here when one of those things is not coming. Just out of courtesy, it would be kind. I did not want to make it that obvious but it would be kind if the House would let us know whether, indeed, the Bill I have amendments to is coming. It ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: I would like to speak briefly to this matter. I support the Motion. I hope we can take note of what Hon. Members are saying. The issue of KQ has come before this House several times. As patriotic Kenyans who are proud of our lines, we are worried by the way KQ is being managed. view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: I am sorry! Sticking with this mask for too long is a problem. I have made Hon. Passaris run away. Having said so, I thank you. I do not like crying over spilt milk since I was not here. However, it would actually be a fallacy then to give tax reliefs to Japanese companies and then fail to rescue our own company that is suffering in Kenya. I know this is a wrong time to have done so. However, nonetheless, I do support. However, we must actually look at the elephant in the room which is the issue of the ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposal by the Committee because I was worried that we are criminalising the users when the people we should be targeting are the dealers. I also thank the Committee for going further and looking into treatment and rehabilitation because this is a very big problem affecting our communities. That is my only concern with this one. Otherwise, there are other serious sentences and if they are left that way, I will be very happy. Let them go for life and be given fines of Kshs1 billion because they are killing our ... view
• 19 May 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the nomination of Lady Justice Martha Koome, especially given that she is the first woman to be given that position. It is a tragedy that, at this age and time, we are still talking of a “first woman this and that”. That is something that we should have left almost 30 years ago. I hope that this development will not hound the Deputy Chief Justice out of office because she is a woman. In this country, there are very many men holding multiple positions. Nobody has hounded them ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am Hon. Odhiambo Akoth Millie Grace. Thank you for giving me this opportunity and I want to thank Hon. Chepkut for bringing this Petition. I know what Hon. Chachu Ganya has said that has been done by Parliament is commendable, but there is no action we are seeing. We can actually see the very serious impact of climate change. Hon. Deputy Speaker, even though we are seeing the rains now we should have been seeing these heavy rains much more in April than in May. That in itself is evidence, and The electronic version of the ... view
• 13 May 2021 in National Assembly: sometimes the rains move to June. Therefore, even the predictability of the weather is changing because of the impact of climate change. Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I would like the Committee to look into is whether we can find a way of inculcating this right from school, the way we used to have clubs in schools so that people start dealing, mitigating right at the school level because young people are good at that. Secondly, we would like to know what the Government is doing in areas being affected anew because of the climate change. In my own constituency, flooding ... view
