• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, because I was addressing you, I see the fear and I will correct myself going forward. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is also the definition where they say 'where the deceased was a woman, her husband, if he was being maintained by her immediately prior to the date of her death”. This is furthermore very ambiguous because apparently it means when people want to prove that they were being maintained, I hear that they normally take photographs of maybe them having a cup of tea together, and sitting on a chair next to each other. That means even ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: there is order. This is because when you put together all these names, it means all of them will be fighting in court and everybody will be making a claim. Somebody passes on, the brothers, the sisters, the grandparents and everyone else wants part of his wealth. Everybody suddenly becomes his relative. It is, therefore, important that we look at that part and sort it out. With those remarks, I support. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like you to put order in the House. Hon. 001 has just named me and the Leader of the Minority Party as possible woman eaters. We will be sharing and paying for one child because the woman is cheating on us. I think he has to withdraw, apologize to us and use an example without naming anyone. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (Control) (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.27 of 2020. view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: The reason I support the Bill is that when we look at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons of the Bill, we see quite clearly that it is an important step that we need to take as a nation. The purpose behind the Bill is outlined. The first one is to enhance penalties related to the offences of possession and trafficking in narcotics. The other reason is to define precursors and chemical substances that are used in the manufacture of narcotics. Another one is to define who the law enforcement officers are in respect of the Act and another one ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: This is an important Bill because what has happened in this country is that the future of our nation and the future of our children is clearly affected by the use of narcotic drugs. In fact, I beg to say that if we are to do statistics of how many of our children are affected by the use of drugs, it will be shocking to most parents. I have been involved in the education industry and I have some insights. In fact, if we remember some time back, some of our international schools were actually using sniffer dogs to check ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: It is an unfortunate situation that the world over, it has become one of the ways people get rich. In the Forbes Magazine inventory that shows the richest people in the world, they never list the people who deal in drugs. They say that even the world’s richest people are probably not anywhere near those dealing in drugs. So, it is a huge industry. It is an industry that has serious money. Obviously, that means they will attempt to interfere and influence the decisions made by anyone. That is why the law now proposes serious penalties for police and enforcement ... view
• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: This is a timely Bill. As a nation, we must stand up to be counted. It is high time that we put in place the highest possible measures. In some countries, when anyone is found dealing in drugs, he or she is sentenced to life imprisonment. In some countries, they execute you. Maybe, it is time we asked ourselves whether it is the right time to execute those people that are proven, beyond reasonable doubt, to be dealing in drugs that are destroying the future of this nation. With those remarks, I urge the House to support the Bill. As ... view
• 2 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. I support the County Statutory Instruments Bill. This basically deals with the delegated legislation. These are the powers given to the regulation-making authorities so that they can actualise laws that are already passed by the assemblies. I hope governors would be respectful of these laws when it goes to the counties. Most of the times, I have seen legislation in county assemblies completely ignored and rubbished by governors. A case in point is our County Assembly of Machakos where MCAs rejected CECs during vetting, but they are still in office. It is unfortunate. ... view
