• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I just wish to support this amendment. This is a good amendment and I support my sister, the Hon. Member for Turkana County for bringing this amendment. I request all Hon. Members to support it. This is because without that it becomes a bit unclear where else the privileges will apply. So, I support. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I actually had a very different view on Clause 27, which I was pleading you give me a chance because everybody was supporting the deletion. I was not. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I wish you could have allowed an alternative view because I did not agree with the wholesale deletion. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion of adjournment. As I contribute, let me join my colleague Hon. Olago Aluoch, the families of the students who have lost their lives--- On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Rarieda, I send my heartfelt condolences. These lives that have been lost were young lives which are promising. I am a parent, I have children in universities and I honestly do sympathize from the bottom of my heart with the families that have lost their loved ones. This is because in most ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: were intended to be, namely institutions of higher learning, bastions of knowledge where we can produce the next generation of Kenyans, people in whom we can have hope to carry this country forward. I do not want to take too much time on this, but as a House we have to condemn the tendencies happening in our universities today, where our universities, instead of being academic fountains, are instead becoming tribal enclaves. At times the quality, or lack thereof, of degrees that are awarded depends on considerations other than academic excellence. We have even been told these days there is ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also stand to strongly oppose this deletion. I think the fact that you are a Member of Parliament does not mean that anybody can just write anything about you. The clause is very clear. We are allowing this House to be a subject of unnecessary mob justice. The clause says a person commits an offence if they publish any false and scandalous information. Are we just going to allow false and scandalous information to be written about us merely because we are Members of Parliament? This is a good clause and I totally oppose its ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, would I be in order to request the proposer of this amendment--- Just like you have said, if this proposed amendment is defeated, we will go back to Clause 37 which, in my view, appears more draconian. Would I be in order to request that you allow the proposer of the amendment to explain the consequences of defeating this amendment? This is because we will go back to the original Clause 37 which is just as draconian. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I second. I would also like to thank my good friend, Hon. Keynan, who has brought very progressive Bills in this House. I must confess that on Clause 27, you were pummelled into submission. But that is life, as you sometimes move three steps forward and two steps back. I think this is a progressive Bill and it will improve not only the workings of Parliament, but also public life as a whole is in our country. I second. view
