• 7 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Bill. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I rise to support the Committee on this Report. The Committee got it right that this regulation is not helping our boys and women who are coming up in the construction business. I remember very well that during our days, we used to have the National Construction Corporation which was so much mismanaged. They were not even helping. We came up with an idea that it becomes an Authority, so that it could have the capacity to help the upcoming artisans to grow to become big constructions companies in ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the nullification because it does not help our artisans to come up. Those are young people who we want to help financially for them to grow. These fines will not help them. I agree with the Committee. However, I want the Committee to look further and ensure that the National Construction Authority builds capacity to help the artisans and those who are coming into this business to grow. With those few remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Bill and thank hon. (Ms) Odhiambo-Mabona for bringing it in the House. It is very important and it is timely for us to pass this Bill. One thing I have observed is the administration of some of those Bills we are putting before the House. For example, hon. Chanzu was talking about a case which was in Bungoma. I particularly, myself, when this happened, took up the matter and followed the case in Bungoma. I was quite happy because the police told me that they have arrested, at least, the ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: I want to congratulate hon. (Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona for bringing this Bill. But the administration of some of the Bills that we are bringing, like the police--- The police should be able to reform itself. We have heard that those victims can get lawyers. I do not know how they can get lawyers. I have not seen the lawyers intervening in those cases. The police continue to do those cases and yet, they have no capacity to argue with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: the lawyers. I think time has come to examine our Judiciary on how they rule in those cases. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance so that I can also contribute to this Motion. First, I thank the Chairman and the members of this Committee for the Report that they have produced and is before us. Construction of a railway is an important project for this country. We, as Members, support the Government. It is worth to support that project. I have an experience and I do not know whether I can cite it a little. The Government decided to construct the oil pipeline one time and some people, including, me opposed it. However, after about ... view
• 24 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was on the Motion that has been deferred. I will talk later. I am not prepared to talk this time. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Bill very strongly. Retirement benefits particularly for leaders who have been elected are very important. We know those who are working in the Civil Service and those who are in the private sector have professionals who look after them. But for elected leaders, I agree totally with this Bill and I support it. They should be paid retirement benefits. view
• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I also want to say that from my experience, many of our MPs or leaders who have retired or thrown out, suffer a lot. Even those old men like me who are at home and who were Members of Parliament, you will not even differentiate. So, I want to bring to the attention of this House that while we are considering these benefits for the Deputy President and the former Prime Minister, we should look at Members of Parliament who are at home; the wazees . They are suffering. Parliament may look at it so that we can create an ... view
