• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the Assistant Minister asked you for more time, it was really in good faith. He told me that he had hoped that, perhaps, the other Questions would take a little more time. The information he has is according to districts and divisions. He has not got the information according to 860 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 3, 2006 constituencies. He had requested that his officers now start telephoning. He has been looking at the Door to the Chambers all the time in the hope that the officers will bring the information according to the constituencies. May I ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution to this very important Bill. From the outset, I want to state that I fully support this Bill. Sexual offences seem to have gone totally out of hand and it looks as if there is nobody who is safe. When I say "nobody", I really mean nobody: No woman, whether it is a mother, sister, daughter or an aunt is safe. It is not just women. Even young boys, including men, tend to be in danger of sexual offences. The worst people are the perpetrators. One ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you cannot or never wish your worst enemy to find himself in prison. May 2, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 819 However, looking at the various clauses, unless we amend or remove them, we run the danger of getting very innocent people in prison. At this stage, our Judicial system is short of judges and so cases take a long time to be heard. Those which have been determined and people make an appeal, they take an equally longer time for the appeals to be heard. Many times I have made visits to prisons. You will find that the ... view
• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just making a point; that we must not have any clause that may be responsible for an innocent person to be put in jail. We would not want an innocent person to spend ten years, five years, one year or even a day in jail. We have to make sure that these laws are consistent with what we are doing. Perhaps, we should not put too much emphasis on punishment alone. We have to try and see why this is happening. If you look at the punishment alone, you would think that murders would be ... view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I answered parts "a" and "c" of the Question. What was required from me was for me to give the breakdown of the distribution of funding to various constituencies. Given that the constituencies are very many, I wish to table the breakdown before the House. view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I answered that question but I will repeat my answer. The licensing and control of lotteries is governed by the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act, Cap 131, of the Laws of Kenya. The Act empowers the Betting Control and Licensing Board to impose such conditions as it may deem necessary to ensure that lotteries are promoted and conducted efficiently. view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the equivalent of the Kenya Charity Sweepstake is only one and it is called Lotto. The others are promotional lotteries, which are undertaken by industrial and commercial organisations as and when they want to promote their business. view
• 27 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General said that the Police Department is the one dealing with that matter. The department is under the Minister of State for Administration and National Security. He is the one who can advise on the legality of the matter. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sorry, I expected either the Minister or his Assistant to be here. May I plead that we put this Question in tomorrow's Order Paper and I will make sure that he is here. view
• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will do the best I can. Of course, you do appreciate that I cannot drag Ministers here. But I will emphasise to them that they have not only signed the code of ethics but they have also signed the performance contracts. view
