• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. Honestly, some of us spent a lot of time in school. I have never, in my life, heard of something called “a proper person”. When does somebody become a proper person? When we continue going this way--- view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: No, no, no! I beg the Committee Chair to listen to me. Let us use the correct language. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: When does a person become proper or improper? If somebody is proper, there has to be an improper person. I really plead with the Committee Chair. We have spoken about this issue so many times. The kind of grammar that finds its way into Bills makes us appear like people who do not take their work seriously. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wish to support the first part of this amendment.

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have no problem with this amendment. It is a good one. I wish the Chair could just clarify. He says that a person who contravenes this section commits an offence and shall, in addition to cancellation of the license, be liable, on conviction, to a penalty prescribed in this Act. I want to stop there. Why is he not using the word “fine”? A fine is not a penalty and a penalty is not a fine. I am not a lawyer, but traditionally, we have used the word “fine” so that we are consistent in ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: much less. In all our Bills, it has always been a fine on conviction. I just want clarification on why he is using the word “penalty” and not the word “fine”. view
