• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. I also rise to support this Bill, which is going to become an Act of Parliament that will give effect to Article 29(f) and 51 of the Constitution. I must say that this is a good day for Kenya because ever since we attained Independence, we have not done much in making sure that the people who are arrested are given a fair trial and hearing. I think if our former Vice-President, hon. Moody Awori, is watching debate in this House today, when the NARC Government took ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: have those facilities to make sure that we can separate? I have visited most of those prisons and the facilities there are wanting. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, let me explain that to you because, probably, you do not know that I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and so, I have visited them. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will also let you know that before I came to this House, I was a Provincial Administrator and so, I have visited many of those prisons. I am just saying that this is a very important law to make sure that an institution holding an arrested person shall maintain a register which shall be used by law enforcement officers to record personal details, physical condition of the person and the reason for arrest. Sometimes, a person is arrested and when you ask the police in the registry why the person has been arrested, they cannot ... view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a student of history. If you go to our history, our fourth President was actually conceived when the first President was in jail and that is in record. It is important that we also look at the fine that an officer can be charged. Clause 5(1) of the Bill says that:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 13 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: “A person deprived of liberty shall, at all times, be treated in a humane manner and with respect for their inherent human dignity.” I totally agree with that. However, the fine of Kshs200,000 that is put there should be amended to be between Kshs500,000 and Kshs1,000,000 during the Third Reading. This will ensure that people are serious on those particular issues. Subject to Articles 50 and 51 of the Constitution, any person who has been arrested and held in lawful custody in relation to any criminal proceedings is entitled to the due process of the law. We should also follow ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for also giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First and foremost, I support this Bill and I think it has come at the right time. Water is life as my colleagues have said. I always find it very strange that we have a mismatch in this country. When it rains, there is a lot of flooding around and nobody cares about what is happening with the water that we get from rain. When there is drought, there is a shortage of water. When I look at this Water Bill ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: up with, so that we can bring amendments to enrich it. I am also interested in the formation of an authority that will be formulating and enforcing standards and procedures on how we use our water. I think we have just been speaking a lot about the wage bill in our country. I do not know whether we will be coming up with ways of merging these authorities, because there are so many of them. I do not know whether we will have money to pay those authorities that we are forming. We can look at that very keenly and ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I am also very happy when I look at what this Bill is coming up with in terms of how we manage harvesting of water. In fact, I have done a lot of work in my constituency on dams. When it rains I can conserve water, so that the people whom I represent in Narok West can use it. This is because they are very important to me and I always feel bad when I see them moving all the way to Tanzania, where they find people with water. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill but I will definitely come up with many amendments to enrich it; I think it is very important. I am sure the Committee has done a good job, but I will also come up with some amendments. With those remarks I will allow my colleagues to contribute, thank you. view
