• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.20 to seek leave of the House to discuss a matter of national importance. It is none other than the insecurity situation in Mount Elgon District. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, 27 primary schools have been closed in the district. Therefore, children are not going to school. There is unrest in the whole district. Residents are not accessing food and other stuff because shops have been closed. The situation has moved from bad to worse. So, I request the Chair to allow this House to discuss this issue of insecurity in Mount Elgon District. view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this debate. I want to talk about structures in our local authorities. Our local authorities countrywide are in a mess. You will find shanties in our cities. They are allowed by our city fathers. If you move around big cities like Nairobi and Mombasa today, you will find that the city centres are surrounded by unauthorised structures, and that nobody is doing anything to rectify the situation. That is because some of the mayors of our cities are not competent enough to run them. Therefore, I fully ... view
• 3 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Again, you will see that local authorities are unable to collect revenue. Consequently, some of them are collapsing. I would request the Minister for Local Government to go back to the drawing board and find out which local authorities are viable. I remember that during the last regime areas where local leaders entertained the authorities were declared local authorities, even though they did not even have the basic facilities to enable them operate as such. I can even remember a local authority which had to buy a chain for the mayor of another local authority, because the latter local authority ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 2 be amended by- (e) in the definition of "asylum" by deleting the expression "15" and substituting therefor the expression "16"; (f) by deleting the definition of "appointed officer" and substituting therefor the following new definition- "appointed officer" means an officer in the public service and gazetted by the Minister for purposes of this Act." (g) in the definition of "Committee" by deleting the words "Refugee status Determination Committee" and substituting therefor the words "Refugee Affairs 4036 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 29, 2006 Committee"; (h) by inserting the following new ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in subclause 1(a) by inserting the word "sex" between the words "religion" and "nationality". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the word "sex" in this amendment is more important than what appears in the Draft Bill. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended by deleting the words "an act of terrorism" appearing immediately after the word "peace". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my Departmental Committee came up with this amendment, taking into account the fact that we are dealing with refugees, and not terrorists. We, therefore, thought that encouraging the inclusion of terrorism matters in the Bill would not be fair. So, this is an amendment that was duly considered by my Committee. view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, if we are to go along with Ms. Ndung'u's amendment, it will change the whole meaning of the amendment which has been proposed by my Committee, and that will not be in good taste. Ms. Ndung'u is a colleague, but let us not appear as if there is a fight between the Departmental Committee on Administration, National Security and Local Authorities and the Departmental Committee on Administration of Justice and Legal Affairs. We have accepted some of the amendments from Ms. Ndung'u, but with this one here, I know that it is an additional amendment ... view
• 29 Nov 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 5 of the Bill be amended- (a) in paragraph (c) by deleting the words "becomes a citizen of Kenya or" appearing immediately before the word "acquires"; (b) in the proviso to paragraph (g) by inserting the words "or herself the protection of the country of nationality" immediately after the word "himself". Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this was agreed upon by all the stakeholders and my Committee. The Ministry is also supporting the amendment. view
