• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard a lot of opinions, both out and in this House. I have tried to read the Bill very carefully, with the eye and mind of a lawyer. I have also looked at the Constitution and not found any provision that contravenes it. They could be weak provisions, but I have not found any provision that contravenes the Constitution. Like the Attorney General said, it is a start and we can always progressively improve as we go along. There is not a ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that one should be looked at. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Clause 20 is about the issue of serving foreigners and collecting money for foreigners. This is something that cuts across this country. NGOs that are making the loudest noise in this country are funded by foreigners. They should also style up and come and work with everybody else. There should be no law for Members of Parliament and another law for others. I support political neutrality. Finally, let me urge those who want to bring amendments not to exaggerate that this Bill is against or ... view

• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Member for Dujis, hon. Duale, requested for a Ministerial Statement on the following issues; the number of Chinese citizens and companies issued with work permits and business permits since 2008 to date, whether the Chinese citizens are involved in hawking business in all major cities in our country, to confirm or deny whether there are regulations or policies that allow foreigners to engage in small trading activities such as hawking and to give the measures the Government is undertaking to safeguard local businesses, especially small scale traders and hawkers. I am not aware that ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, obviously, my good friend was not listening! I said, Chinese, Somalis and Indian sub-continent nationals. Those are not Kenyan Somalis! Mr. Speaker Sir, in addition, such designation does not discriminate on the basis of the nationalities of operators. Following the repeal of the Trade Licensing Act Cap.497 in 2007, there is no specific law restricting foreigners from engaging in the activities of view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on hon. Shabir’s clarification, I would like to clarify that there is nobody who is above the law, be it Kenyan or non-Kenyan. That is very clear. It needs no elaboration. Regarding the clarification sought by the Member for Central Imenti, I would like to agree with him that my Ministry does not issue Entry Permits, or Egress Permits, and that here has been little collaboration between my Ministry and the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons as to how work permits and other permits should be issued. It would be a good idea ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I suspect that my good friend has just walked in. I said that the Trade Licensing Act was repealed. So, my Ministry does not license any trader or business person in this country. Even if the Act had not been repealed, the licensing of traditional medicines, or any other medicines for that matter, would be the purview of another Ministry, and not the Ministry of Trade. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was dealing with the issue raised by the Member for Mathira. I was urging caution. We need to be careful and guarded in the language we use ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Dujis was not here when I started responding. I am responding to issues raised by hon. Members--- view
