• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to tell Members of this honourable House that other western countries are also using the equalization fund and it has helped a lot. The only problem that we have in this country is that we never think through the whole process. That is why today you hear the money is with the Ministry in charge of devolution. We are almost approaching the end of the financial year in June and that money is nowhere to be seen. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to really ask hon. Members to support this Bill. The money will help the marginalised areas in this country. With those very few remarks, I support. Thank you. view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Bill. However, while I do that, I would also like to congratulate my colleague from Migori as she prepares to tie the knot. I tell her, “Welcome to the club” I support this Bill because I think it has come at the right time. I also want to thank the Attorney-General for thinking that it is appropriate to bring all these pieces of legislation together. This is what we used to call in business school a one-stop shop. In this regard, this is where all ... view
• 20 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: this country. It is time for us to define who we are as a country. This is because the institution called marriage is the most important institution on earth. The smallest unit of a country is the family and then you go to the village, division, location, district, county and then country. If this institution is not strengthened and defined in law, we will end up having problems that we are having in our country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, middlemen in the corridors of justice took advantage of innocent Kenyans because they know of the complexities of these various laws. That ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I also want to wish this House a prosperous new year as we begin our new Session. I just want to say that I fully support this Bill. I am a Member of that Committee and it took us almost three months. That is because most of us thought that what we were doing was going to offend our Constitution. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: It is unfortunate that some of the Members who are opposing these amendments have left. I would have advised them and those who are here to take time to read the Report of the Committee. They should also read the principal Act and know what we are exactly amending. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: If you look at what has been happening since the Tenth Parliament passed the principal Act, there has been a lot of confusion as to who is in charge of our National Police Service in this country. No wonder we have many insecurity cases in this country. That is because we cannot hold anybody accountable. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Committee has taken time and engaged in enough consultations. As a matter of fact, when Mr. Nyachae was in our Committee, he advised us that we need to amend this Act. Otherwise, we will plunge our country into chaos which we do not want as leaders of this country. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I know that some of our friends have had issues with the police and that is why some of us are taking it an extra mile and saying: “Let us not give the Inspector-General of Police powers.” But that is far from the truth. The issue here is that there was a lacuna. There was an issue to do with who is in charge. This Act is trying to cure that confusion. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Most of us who came from the Provincial Administration understand what it means to be in charge of a station. We know that for somebody to be in charge of a country like Kenya, which is one of the third world countries that are coming up, it is a problem. That is why we are saying that we must give the Inspector-General of Police powers to deal with numerous issues of insecurity in our country. view
