• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will provide the Member for Dujis with a list given to my Ministry by the Chinese Embassy of 11 companies that are licensed as business people in this country. These exclude the mega construction companies, because those are Chinese state corporations. These are licensed business people. Ten of them possess valid licences from the City Council of Nairobi, and one from the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), to carry out business in the country. Hawkers who have got no legal standing, and who are breaking the law, be they Chinese or Somali or people from the ... view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, Kenyans do not work in other countries because there are no other nationals to work in those countries. They work out there because of existence of reciprocal arrangements between countries. We have Kenyans working in other jurisdictions, and we have people from other jurisdictions working in Kenya. Of course, what we need to do is to balance our national interests with the interests of a country living amongst civilised countries. We cannot close ourselves to other countries and other nationals. It is, simply, not possible. view
• 21 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. One, I think the Parliamentary Committee on oversight should audit how we are appointing commissions. That is because we bring here a shortlist and they look like they represent the country. But in certain parts of the country, certain communities are completely left out and marginalised. So, I want to see an audit by the Constitutional view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In case it is lost to hon. C. Kilonzo, who is totally out of order, I am the party leader of FORD-(K) and I am not a member of ODM. There is Esther Murugi Mathenge, the Minister for Special Programmes. She is sitting there. There is hon. Peter Kenneth and hon. Cecily Mbarire. So, is he in order to impute improper motives on us? view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to second this Bill. The Bill is important to the extent that KEPHIS as currently constituted needs to be strengthened, empowered and supported to discharge its mandate. Seed quality and varieties of all plants and crops is very critical for any economy. If we do not get it right, we will not do it right. That is why I support this amendment so that we bring ourselves within the net of international conventions and international treaties governing and protecting research outcomes, production, distribution and dissemination of seeds for crops and plants. In ... view

• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to inform my junior learned friend that she is making a very important point. The Minister should pay attention to these issues because, as hon. Members are aware, view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: of the USA pretended to patent basmati rice, which the Indians have been growing for the last 5,000 years. The Americans pretended to patent it as their innovation. So, we must be very careful in order to protect our innovations. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate my learned senior and teacher for chaperoning through this very important Bill. In doing so, I want to say two things. One, my learned friend, the Minister for Finance sitting on my left here must, as a matter of urgency, provide enough money to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) through the Ministry of Education to hire enough teachers for this country. It is not good enough for children to go to school if they just go to school as if they are at holiday camps. Every school must be adequately staffed ... view
