• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: We must also accept that part of the difficulty the Commission faces is created by we leaders. When leaders at the highest level possible, whether it is on the Government side or the Opposition side, use words that are unpalatable and that amount to incitement, then we make the work of the Commission difficult. If we were to avoid usage of those words even in this House, the Commission work would be very easy. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: At times we say things which we know to be untrue. For example, I heard a Member say today here in respect of another Hon. colleague, Hon. Didmus Barasa, that he was attacked and injected with some dangerous substance and is now in hospital in South Africa. We know and it is on record that Hon. Didmus Barasa is on parliamentary business in South Africa. He is there on account of the Committee on National Administration and Security. How do you then start telling people that he was injected with some dangerous substance? Then you are inciting his constituents to ... view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not fully satisfied to support the Committee’s recommendations as made. I rest. view
• 13 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: I said I am not able to support it in its current form. So, I am not supporting. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The reasons advanced by the Leader of the Majority Party are noble and good, but it is for those reasons that I do not support the amendment. He is introducing absolute discretion to the commissioner and that can be dangerous. It can end up being a weekly thing, every two days, or every one month. The idea of having some prescribed time brings some predictability and reduces the whim. That whim is what we are reducing by prescribing the time. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: So, for the very reasons advanced by the Leader of the Majority Party, I do not support that amendment. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to join the Chairperson and Hon. Osotsi. I will be discussing with the Chairperson later for his support in an earlier amendment, but on this one, I agree with him in persuading Hon. Millie Odhiambo purely from a reality perspective. The reality is that in this country, even when it comes to elections, often times we engage with parties outside the country.

• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Therefore, the data of voters ends up going outside the country. What is emphasised in Paragraph (h) is that there ought to be sufficient protection, which I agree with, but if we had the word “and” instead of “or”, then getting the consent of every voter might be impossible. So, I want to persuade my sister that on this proposal, although the intention is noble, it might create practical problems. Thank you. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. On this, I want to support the amendment. If we look at Clause 27, we should read it together with Clause 26. What are those rights of the data subject that would disentitle them from accessing because of a physical disability? If you look at the rights that have been captured, the kind of physical disability that we are talking about, including the example given by the Leader of the Majority Party, may not really apply. The danger is that once we include physical disability under this part, you will almost preclude even those ... view
• 30 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana Mhe. Spika. Nimesimama chini ya Kanuni ya Bunge, Kipengele cha 77 na pia 95. Kwanza, ningependa utoe uamuzi wa kipekee kulingana na Kanuni ya 77. Wenzangu wameendelea kudhania kwamba kwa sababu Hoja ilitolewa kwa lugha ya Kiswahili, eti ni lazima kila mtu aongee kwa Kiswahili.
