• 13 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Finally, it is important that Members of this House realise that banks are going to try to lobby against this Bill and we need to guard against that. view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we need to coin a language that boarders between rising to support and rising to oppose. This will be ideal for people who oppose and support certain issues within a Bill. This is a grey area that we need to agree on. I support a substantial part of this Bill, but I will still make recommendations for amendments on others. Generally, this is a law that I would want passed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am a lawyer who has dealt with land issues before I joined Parliament. I have dealt with many cases. I have ... view
• 30 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Clause 15 says that even if it is a first registration, and it was fraudulent; if it is discovered that there was a misrepresentation and the land was acquired illegally, the court can cancel that registration. If somebody says that they are going to oppose the entire law, I do not know what they mean. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have other provisions. For instance, Clause 20 talks about transactions that are in the offing. If the person buying land does a search and notifies the registrar that they are negotiating and are in the process of buying some piece ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also rise to support this amendment. It brings in two very important provisions. First, private health providers cannot lock out regulators from finding out what is happening in their institutions. Second, it requires the providers to give emergency treatment to people, who require it, without first of all asking for payment and follow up under the regulations later. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I support the amendment. view
• 16 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also rise to support the proposed amendment. In the recent past, we have had experiences of rogue boards and we need to rein on them. If you remember what the Judiciary and some of the other funny boards that we have been having were doing, it is important we stop them abusing certain powers that they have. If you go to the next provision, if there is necessity for something very special, there is provision that they can summon a meeting to deal with that but they will have to give an explanation. Thank you. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the further amendment. We need clarity in application of law. If we reject this particular further amendment by the Vice- Chair, we will have challenges with the amendment that we will be dealing with from Hon. Okoth because of ambiguity. Please, the business of putting so many people in these public bodies is going to finish this country. We are moving towards reducing and not adding numbers. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I will be supporting the other proposals by Hon. Okoth, but I oppose this one. view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I also rise to oppose the proposed amendment. Hon. Okoth has some good intentions. The mischief is in deleting what is there. What he has given is not an alternative to what has already been given. The current provision says that in case a board member is appointed irregularly or there is a problem, the proceedings of that board should not be nullified merely by that. That is not what he is addressing. He should have brought a different clause and not delete this particular one. His problem is solved by Schedule 5 which says: “The Board shall determine rules ... view
• 3 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
