• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Sometimes when we ask for a point of order, we may have seen something that you have skipped. If you look at the amendments in Clause 13, we amended only Clause 13(a), but (b), which is suggesting deletion of sub clause 4, was skipped. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Yes, but the Chair never moved the deletion of sub clause 4. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With all due respect, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, when she tried to move Clause 13(b), you did not listen. You continued putting the Question. She can clarify that because there was contribution on it. It is a critical sub clause that is suggesting about a fee, which was not discussed. It provides that a fee to be known as the retention fee may be prescribed for payment annually or at such longer interval as the Board may deem appropriate. It was not debated. view
• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity to comment on this Petition.

It is not even the number of students whose exams were cancelled but the number of students who cheated in their exams and yet they have results. They must be more than 5,000.

• 8 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am persuaded to change my earlier position. I agree with Hon. Amina Abdalla. When you are in Parliament having been nominated, you have a lot of time to read than those of us who run around. I am sure she is well read. What she has proposed does not in any way affect any other Bill that has been brought into this House. There is nothing wrong with over-legislating if it helps the situation. It may even capture something that may not be captured in the next Bill. Therefore, it is of no ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I stand to oppose this amendment. I would have supported what my friend, Hon. Ken, had suggested. We have only 47 counties in this country and we are talking about the availability of legal aid services to the people who cannot afford it.

If we leave the clause as amended, it means we leave the establishment of branches at the prerogative of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to decide where to put them. What criteria are ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me the opportunity and also mistaking me for Hon. Mbiuki. He was my former Member for Parliament. But, we are not very far. I have a problem with this clause. I support my former Member of Parliament that this clause should actually be deleted because you cannot measure the physiological and environmental characteristics of a load out there, when farmers are supposed to carry it. The clause is ambiguous. Clause 2 is a bit more specific in the 50 kilogrammes, but we also have to put into consideration that maize is mostly ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support it. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for clarity, I support the deletion of this clause.
