• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Criminal Procedure Code be amended by inserting the following new amendment: s.7(1)(b) Insert at the end thereof the words "or under Sexual Offences Act". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, you know that the Sexual Offences Act is a new criminal law. For a long time, the Criminal Procedure Code has only referred to the Penal Code. This particular amendment has come at the request of judges, magistrates and police officers so as to assist them in terms of prosecution, et cetera . It is not ... view
• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Minister is an hon. Member of the committee and she is aware that this bi-partisan committee discussed the issue of affirmative action including creating 24 seats for women in the Constitution. Because of what happened to the 50 seats proposal that she brought to the House, could she, please, embrace the spirit of the bi-partisan Committee to ensure that, at least, the proposal for the women seats is brought to the Floor of the House? view
• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to state that I was opposed to the 50 seats when, indeed, I was not? I was actually helping her lobby! We, as women MPs, actually pleaded with her to withdraw the Bill, so that we could negotiate for those seats with the male Members. Could she, please, withdraw and apologise to me? view

• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, during the stage of making amendments to this Bill, I stood to oppose the amendment that had been proposed by Eng. Karue. What I had stood to oppose was not the spirit of what he was talking about, or what hon. Kajwang was talking about. I was opposing the exact wording in which the proposal had been framed. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, wording is everything. As a law student, I was taught by my law professor that the mischief is always in the words, and we have seen it many times. We know that ... view

• 30 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just want to add on to what Mr. Cheboi has said. I want to point out that some amendments from the Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs with regard to the Advocates Act and Penal Code, particularly the section which was proposing to delete the part which includes anyone who insults another as being disorderly, is missing from the Order Paper. What does that mean? Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, there is also an omission on the Industrial Property Act. It is also missing from the Order Paper. We have no consultations ... view

• 28 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me thank the Minister for his information as he was moving his Vote. This Parliament has not debated the budget of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for over 20 years. Yet, this Ministry consumes a large amount of taxpayers' money. It is normally the sixth or seventh biggest Ministry in terms of budget. This has led to questions and accusations about patronage and corruption, within this particular Ministry. I congratulate the Minister for making sure it has come before this House. This is a sign of transparency on behalf of the Ministry. Mr. ... view
• 23 Aug 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Attorney-General is saying that he is unable to issue certificates for customary marriages unless there is an Act of Parliament. At the same time, we recognise that customary marriages are legal and yet, there is no Act of Parliament that currently recognises them. So, would I be in order to ask the Attorney-General to recognise those legal unions by instructing the Registrar of Marriages to issue those certificates? view
