• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, like my immediate colleague who has spoken on this Report, I half-heartedly support it. Let me begin by sending my condolences to the victims of the Likoni church attack. We feel with them. A few months ago, I lost three of my constituents in a criminal attack at a petrol station in Naivasha. They were just butchered because they were there when the thugs attacked. So, I know how it feels. We can see that the Committee visited very many places. They received information and evidence from very many people but when it came to making recommendations, ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Somebody just moves around and says: “Yes, you did well by killing. Kill again.” That person is still out there. You wonder what our security agencies are doing. We need explanations on some of these things. We will be lying to ourselves if we think that employing more security officers and importing more security gadgets will eradicate insecurity. We must deal with the unemployment in this country. That is basically the biggest problem that we have. If we do not give our youth an opportunity to earn a living, insecurity will continue to be there in this country even if ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want the Chair to clarify whether the Ministry is cognizant of the provisions of Article 43 of the Constitution, which makes it a right of a child to have basic education. What is the Government doing to ensure that secondary education eventually becomes as free as the primary school education? Two, the tradition in the best performing schools in this country over the years have been to increase the payments year after year. By now, what the parents are paying is obviously much more than what she has indicated as being in the circular. Most ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: those exaggerated figures. What is the Ministry doing about that, so that the parents can also become enlightened and fight for their rights other than just follow along with the proposal of the school administration? view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Although the hon. Member for Garissa Town is very busy and he may not be listening to my contribution--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I have heard him loud and clear, though I am not an expert in Islamic Law. I have been advised today by the hon. Member for Garissa Town that Islamic Law requires that a person must be 19 years old before he/she can marry or get married. That is what he has said. I have also read the Constitution, Article 45(2) states as follows:- “Every adult has the right to marry a person of the opposite sex, based on the free consent of the parties.” To me, “adult” means a person of 18 years of age. If it means 18 ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to oppose the entire clause. That is why I was seeking an opportunity before the Question was put. view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a clarification. If I got the Chair right, little relief has come in the way of the victims. Apparently, the Government is stuck with this particular issue. It appears to be unable to deal with the issue. Has the relevant authority contemplated and/or brought any Bills to this House so that the National Assembly is able to legislate on a law that would help to curb that sort of crime in future? Do we have any proposals in terms of legislation that we can enact to deal with these issues and ... view
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As my able Chairman has rightly pointed out, our Deputy Chair is the one who is going to move an amendment and is therefore not able to second this. I rise to second this Motion. I have had the privilege of working in the Budget and Appropriations Committee and I am thankful to our Chair and the Vice-Chair as well 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
• 13 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: as the other Members for the good work that they have carried out this particular year in analyzing the Budget Policy Statement. The last Budget found us as new comers to this House and we did not have sufficient time to look at it. In fact, there was no BPS for us to consider. We just dealt with the Budget and very many mistakes were made which I believe are not going to be repeated this year. It is important that every Member of this House realizes that they have a role of participating in the setting of the ceilings ... view
