• 27 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to second the Seeds and Plant Varieties (Amendment) Bill, 2015. It is clear that we need to align all the statutes in this country to the Constitution. Article 11(3)(b) states that:- “(3) Parliament shall enact legislation to— (b) recognise and protect the ownership of indigenous seeds and plant varieties, their genetic and diverse characteristics and their use by the communities of Kenya.” To support that and to give more emphasis on the obligation in respect of the environment, Article 69 (1)(a) states: “(1) The State shall— (a) ensure sustainable exploitation, utilisation, management and ... view

As we go on to debate and enact this, issues which have been raised in this amendment are straightforward and do not require a lot of debate because we need to put it in conformity with our Constitution. I ask my colleagues to quickly go through this and pass it on to the Senate, so that it can meet the timelines and it is assented to, to become the amended law. I beg to second. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I send my condolences to the family of His Excellency Mwai Kibaki for losing our former First Lady, Mama Lucy Kibaki.

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I am just concerned because Clause 11 is very clear that the chairperson will be appointed by the President and the rest of the members by the Cabinet Secretary. Now, my colleague Hon. Ottichilo is moving on to suggest other ways. I find this a bit disturbing. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Mhe. Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda, nakubaliana na Mhe. (Dkt.) Ottichilo kuwa ni muhimu kuwe na sheria wazi wazi bila tashwishi yoyote. Wenye kufanya shughuli hizi ni lazima wawe wamesomea masuala haya na haswa wawe wamesomea muda ambao sio mrefu kutoka wakati wanapolipa ada yao. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, we make laws for posterity and they have to be very clear. They should not be shrouded in ambiguity. The words “proper” and “improper” are ambiguous. They are relative terms describing anybody who is going to do this work. So, I agree with Hon. Ottichilo. I support. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the Chairman’s amendments. He has already given the explanation. That is the way we should go. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: The amendment suggested by the Chairman is very clear. Having passed Section 45 and agreed on how it is, for clarity, it is important that we take the amendment from the Chairman. I beg to support. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Asante sana Mhe. Naibu Mwenyekiti wa Muda. Rekebisho hili litaondoa utukutu na utundu unaofanywa na wahalifu hapa nchini. Hivyo basi, sheria hii itakuwa muhimu sana kuonyesha wazi kuwa wenye kusimamia usalama ni akina nani na wenye kufanya kazi kwenye kampuni hizi ni akina nani. Naunga mkono rekebisho hili. view
