• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support Mr. Namwamba and inform the House that the two amendments are different. Whereas the first amendment is about inserting the following New Clause immediately after Clause 5 and lists specifically the uniformed forces that are to be included, in Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry’s amendment, he is leaving the window open and talking about: “and other uniformed services.” Those uniformed services may be here today or in future. For example, in future we may wish to have a traffic patrol unit, which is uniformed and comes under the armed ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Girl Guides and scouts are not services. Any uniform does not mean you are in a service. Uniformed service is a very specific technical term that cannot be reduced to common usage. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The import of deleting Clauses 2, 3 and 4 is to remove an unnecessary controversy in Constitution making and relegate the import of Articles 2, 3 and 4 to the realm of law making, so that this House can have the opportunity to make laws that are related to reproductive health. This nation started a family life options programme or family planning programme at Independence. Kenya has excelled internationally in terms of its record in what is now called family life options. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would be very unfortunate to include clauses 2, 3 and 4 knowing very well that they have introduced an extreme controversy in Constitution making. We want a phrase broad enough to include all Kenyans, but a clause that gives the opportunity and chance for lawmaking to deal with the issues that concern us in articles 2, 3 and 4. This Constitution promotes and defends Kenyans to believe in various religions. We know that clauses 2, 3 and 4 are very controversial among various religious beliefs. Rather than try and leave them in and, therefore, jeopardize ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I beg to second. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I meant to say in my contribution that precisely because I have seconded hon. Murugi’s amendment, I withdraw my amendment in (xiv) which, as hon. Kajwang says, amounts to the same thing. So, I want to withdraw my amendment (xiv) on page 191. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, seconding a Motion also includes giving the House the correct information from a professional point of law, and from a professional point of science. So, if the hon. Member is not prepared to listen to science, he should not call upon me to misguide him. I am here to guide the House, as the Minister for Medical Services, and as one who has listened to professionals on this issue, and who wishes to guide the House correctly. Therefore, my responsibility in seconding the Motion is to try and enlighten the House on the correct decision to ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Article 26(1), which says every person has the right to life means than euthanasia will not be allowed. So, is hon. Ongoro right to mislead this House that euthanasia is allowed when it is quite clear that Article 26(1) says every person has the right to life. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to make a very small contribution. In this House, we talk about religious leaders supporting this but we seem only to be referring to religious leaders who are in the “high churches”. If you consult the Legio Maria Church, The Church of Jesus Christ around the World, Dini ya Msambwa and the Akorino, these people support the fact that “every person has the right to life”. That seems to be the common view of most Kenyans at that level. So whereas, I would definitely appreciate the opinion of the “high church” and I ... view
