• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really do appreciate what the hon. Ruto is saying. But again, I want to just invite the House to think about, for example, when you are building a house and you are painting it, the fundi will sand the walls and wear masks because that action creates dust. That is what is happening. When the person who is working on these jeans - not washing - when they are using a compressor to spray sand on clothing, as that sand is being so applied, you create dust, and that is what the problem is. Thereafter, ... view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: However, as I have repeated, if really anybody has some scientific proof, whatsoever, that the clothing that was so produced affects health, we will be very happy to take it happy, so that we can take action. Where the case was proven, we took action to ensure that lives of Kenyans and other people in the world are protected. view
• 8 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sitting next to the hon. Minister and he appears to me to be in quite good health. Therefore, I am quite certain that he is not affected. I can confirm that he is not affected. This technology has been discontinued and nobody is making faded jeans using sandblasting. There are other technologies, and we can go into them that people are using. We have also said that nobody, in the future, who may wish to use this technology will be licensed. So, there is no danger of affecting people’s health. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Judging by the way debate is going, would I be in order to say that we call upon the Mover to reply? view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support. As I do so, let me start by saying that we in the Executive never ever cut and paste. We endevour to write good laws. I in particular support this Bill because of Clause 22. This is because it sets out the criteria that the Committee would apply to determine on a petition for mercy. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, time has come to recognize correctional services or correctional work as a key reason so that it is not just about locking away people forever but it is about correcting behaviour of human beings or citizens of this country. I am quite pleased because at the beginning of this Bill that is at the definitions, we talked at some length about correctional facilities. I believe that, that service is about correcting behaviour and rehabilitating members of the citizenry back into civil and proper conduct of the society. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to support for three reasons. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The first reason is a sorry tale that starts in the year 2000 into 2001 of wanton destruction, perhaps, bordering on criminal destruction of Marmanet Forest. If we had this law, it would not have been possible for people to destroy 16,000 hectares of pristine forest and hence destroy the livelihood of hundreds and thousands of poor people who depended on the water from this forest. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for allowing us to continue despite some intimidation from some quotas here. I rise to support this Bill for four reasons. The Constitution of this great Republic regarding the fundamental rights and freedoms, perhaps the most fundamental right is the right to life. The Member of the National Assembly is elected to represent people. You can imagine one fateful morning in 2009 when several dozen Kenyans died in a gunfight in my constituency. Since then, not a single arrest has been made and yet it is three years down the line. So, I ... view
