• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very strong statement about what was happening in our society at that time. Today, I know that we would not allow such a record to be sold and that musician would be arrested and prosecuted. He would not be committing any offence known in law at the moment. Even if we were to arrest and prosecute him now, the court would still find him innocent. That is the reason why it is important for us, as a Parliament, to come up with laws that will protect our women. I have been to ... view

• 2 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, actually, he wanted to give me information. He wanted to tell me that, if the rapist is jailed for life, he cannot be able to provide for the child. Therefore, a provision should be made for the Government to provide for such a child until he or she becomes an adult. We have had cases in British courts about Kenyan women who were raped by British soldiers. The figure varies from 600 to about 800. Some of them were injured in the process because they were gang-raped. Some of them conceived and gave birth to ... view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is not answering the question properly. The Chair has put this issue of special circumstances very clearly. Yesterday, when we were discussing the Supplementary Estimates, we were told that part of the increase in Recurrent Expenditure was to deal with this kind of a situation. How much of that money that we voted yesterday has been earmarked to deal with a situation like this one? view

• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for that ruling that this matter should be treated with the seriousness that it deserves. Subclause 1 must be read together with Subclause 2. Subclause 1 spells out the offences. If only the hon. Member had read Sub-clause 2, he would not have made the offensive remark against our colleagues. This Bill has nothing to do with marriage and the offences are clearly specified. view
