• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank all hon. Members who have contributed before on the Health Bill. view
• 10 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I want to start by asserting that I support this Bill. I support the enactment of the Health Bill, 2015. I also want to congratulate the Ministry of Health and the Departmental Committee on Health here for being able to get to this step. It has been a long story. It has been many steps. The country has waited for this law. It does not matter how long we have waited. Now that we are here, it is good that the Committee has completed. It is good that the Ministry of Health has been able to bring this particular piece ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am also happy to contribute to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, especially following the deliberations of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, which had occasion to look at the various provisions of the Bill. I agree with Hon. Millie that the history of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills is an interesting one. However, often the law needs to be tightened, clarified or changed. This is the Bill that we use to bring in the changes, sometimes very minimal, required to tighten a law, or to make the implementation of a ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: In the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, it has become routine for this House, every year, to spot amendments that are not useful. In the last Bill we looked at matters of public benefits organizations were brought in. Luckily, the Leader of the Majority Party withdrew that clause from consideration. As has become the norm this year, this is the third Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that this House is looking at. We have in good time identified the issues on the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). I reprimand very much the people who thought that this was wise, or ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: They have been able to catch the policemen who misuse firearms and power. IPOA needs to expand this to police corruption. We still have police officers who collect money from our poor people and police officers who refuse to serve until they are paid. Even in these days of Government leasing vehicles for the police, we still have police officers saying that they do not have fuel. We still have police officers saying they will not respond to an emergency because they do not have vehicles. For both crimes of commission and omission, the police need somebody else to look ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We have been asked to speak very briefly, so that we can all get a chance to speak. As the House adjourns, it is good to note that it has done very commendable work in terms of the many Bills, reports and petitions that we have looked at. Clearly, we deserve this recess. After many days of hard work, it is only fair that we get some time for recess, committee deliberations and constituency work. The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee will be meeting the vetting board and also the National Cohesion and Integration ... view
• 29 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: With those comments, I wish every Member a safe and good recess until we come back to continue with work, hoping that the Executive will also continue to do its work on the stabilisation of the economy. Today, it was good to hear the CS, Mr. Henry Rotich, explain that the interest rates will come down, and that there will be funding. We are hopeful that the Kenya shilling will start gaining on the dollar. With those remarks, we thank the House and appreciate the recess. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support the Committee’s proposal. In order for us to give proper and equal justice to all Kenyans, we should be governed by one law instead of sending people to different courts in order for them to get their compensation and rightful adjudication, and rights under the law. I support. view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the Leader of the Majority Party in the proposal to delete Clause 34. Freedom of the media is something that is celebrated. It is new in our Constitution and unfortunately by including this clause in the law, we join the list of countries that are the worst in the history of the world in attacking media freedom. There is no reason why Kenya should join a list with Iran and Egypt. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, these things matter internationally. Investors are looking at which country to invest in. The media is a ... view
