• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Assistant Minister has not given us a clear answer. This matter is very urgent because the Constitution says that additional constituencies can only be added upon the resolution of this House. That means that, if we go home this year without adding those constituencies, we will wait until 2012. Could the Assistant Minister tell us whether he will bring that Bill and those changes before the end of the year? view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As a member of the FIDA myself, I take great exception to the remarks that we are corrupt. I am not a corrupt person! The matter in which Mr. Ojaamong was being prosecuted by FIDA is still in court today. He must declare his personal interest. He has a conflict of interest! view
• 4 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand here to support the adoption of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs with regard to the FIDA nominee to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Agency (KACA) Advisory Board. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, FIDA is a reputable organisation which represents the interests of women in Kenya in terms of law and policy. It is significant that nowadays the Government is taking on board civil society members and other stakeholders in terms of its appointment. It does reflect diversity and it also brings on board the experience ... view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- A BILL TO AMEND EMPLOYMENT ACT THAT, in view of the reproductive and the productive role of women in the growth of the Kenyan economy, and noting that the Government is a signatory of the resolution of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) 1994; noting further that the Government committed itself to attaining the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs); conscious that both women and children in this country suffer from serious postnatal health problems, this House grants leave to introduce a Bill for an Act of ... view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute in support of the President's Speech. First of all, I would like to focus on gender issues, which I normally speak about all the time. The President talked about the proposed Women Enterprise Development Fund. I think that is one of the most incredibly important thing that has happened for the women of Kenya since Independence. There are many challenges facing women who would like to access credit facilities. For example, they have no collateral. Even banks make it difficult for them to access credit March 29, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES ... view
• 29 Mar 2007 in National Assembly: For me, my first time to hear of tribalism was in this House. I think this is where tribalism is made and created by politicians. We then export it to wananchi . I would like to seek your guidance, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker! When people speak the way they have been doing in the last two weeks, producing lists from certain communities from where appointments have been made, would it not be in order for that hon. Member to bring a proper audit? If you say that there is favouritism in the Judiciary, then let us table the names of ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Attorney-General the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Why have the courts failed to implement the provisions of the Sexual Offences Act, 2006? (b) What urgent measures is the Attorney-General taking to ensure that all provisions of the Act are complied with by all actors? view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General said that he would be away December 7, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4261 yesterday and the day before. He did not talk about his absence today. This is a Question that touches on criminal law that affects all Kenyans. The Judiciary and the law enforcement agencies are not able to implement this Act, because the Minister in charge has not set up a policy framework. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Question is urgent, and this is the third time I am asking it. Mr. Speaker, Sir, can another Minister, or a Member of the Front Bench, not ... view
• 7 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think the Leader of Government Business needs to consider what he should do when the Attorney-General is not in the House. There are many Questions that are directed to the Attorney-General, and he has no assistant. What is the Leader of Government Business going to propose? The Attorney-General is an important person. He has so much to act on. He is not here to answer our Questions. What is the Government going to do about that? view
