• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Because we do not have much to say in reply, allow me to give one minute each to Hon. Benjamin, Hon. Isaac Mwaura and Hon. Christine Ombaka. I will use the two minutes to wrap up. view
• 3 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As the Mover, I really want to support and appreciate all the Members who have spoken on this policy. For the many comments and good values that we have espoused here today, this is the Kenyan nation we want to see. I also want to emphasize the issue of a strong national identity and a strong national value system. We are among the few communities which do not have a national consciousness that we all agree corruption is bad and shun corrupt people, and that would be a national value system that we all share. The ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to join in supporting this Sessional Paper on the National Policy and Action Plan on Human Rights of 2014. I also want to congratulate the many actors, partners and Government departments that were involved in its drafting. It took a very long time to put it together. For good reasons, the country has a history and a future with human rights. To merge the two, would really require that a lot of time and attention goes into the Sessional Paper. As we approve and adopt the Sessional Paper, it will guide ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: ?” She was told: “We do not have beef and ugali either.” At that point the lady asked the waiter: “Is this a menu or a constitution?” This is because it is a Constitution that says there is education, health care, freedom of expression, freedom of movement and the Bill of Rights. The Constitution promises many things unlike the lady’s menu. It promises things which when you ask for you are told: “Sorry, we are not serving that now.” When you ask for freedom of media you are told: “Sorry! The laws that we have do not particularly give freedom ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: 12 Wednesday 2nd December, 2015(A) urge this House to look at adopting legislations that are very critical to human rights. We are in a country that does not have a housing law. One of our indicators of poverty has been the issue of housing, slums and dwellings that are not really up to human habitation. As a country, we need a housing legislation. I am glad many other laws need to be passed, for example, the Fair Administrative Action, the laws on media, including the Bill that I am moving on access to information. Many of those laws will see ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the House today, Tuesday, 24th November 2015:- The Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs on its consideration of the Government Proceedings (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bill No.10 of 2014. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also join in the conversation on the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) Bill 2015. I congratulate the Committee, led by my friend, Hon. Lessonet, for bringing this Bill to this House. I will start by noting that the judges who made the decision on CDF started by praising what it has done. They accepted that CDF has indeed changed our country and it is helpful. They came short of saying that CDF is here to stay. At no point did the judges say that we do not need CDF as a country. ... view
• 24 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: that they would not get jiggers, which we call ndutu in Nyeri. You can imagine how sad that is; that we have children who go to primary school and get jiggers in school because the classes are made of mud. Eng. Muriuki Karue got this very good idea of solving problems in our localities, constituencies and counties. As a believer of the Constitution, I am also aware that the Constitution is a living document. It is interpreted in context and not read like a text book. You cannot open Article 97 and say that MPs are supposed to sit here ... view
