• 16 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: It appears that there is undue pressure to pass this law for some motives that are not very clear. Let us be given an opportunity as a Committee to meet all the stakeholders and let us guide the House using the information that we have. Let it not appear that it is an emergency that the Second Reading of this law must be done today or tomorrow yet we have many Bills that came to the House before this Bill. I understand the urgency, but let it not appear that there is something on fire. People out there are reading ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika. Naunga mkono Mswada huu na kumpongeza Mhe. Abdinoor kwa kuleta pendekezo la kisheria, ambalo likipitishwa litasaidia nchi hii. Sekta ya mifugo ni muhimu sana katika nchi hii kwa sababu hata wale ambao si wafugaji wana mifugo. Katika eneo la Kipipiri na Nyandarua Kaunti kwa jumla, karibu kila boma lina ng’ombe, kondoo na mbuzi. Ijapokuwa wakulima hao wanalima mimea mbalimbali, kutokuwa na mifugo inatokana na umaskini, ama waliuza mifugo wao kulipa karo. Isisemekane kuwa mifugo ni muhimu tu kwa maeneo kavu kwa sababu hata kwenye maeneo yetu, tuna mifugo. Ninaunga mkono kuundwa kwa halmashauri ambayo itasimamia ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: ndogo sana na tunastahili kuiangalia na kuhakikisha kuwa inapewa pesa za kutosha. Tusielekeze tu fedha zetu kwa sekta ya mimea na sehemu zingine. Ninaunga mkono Mswada huu na ninawaomba Wabunge wenzangu waunge mkono ili tuupitishe haraka iwezekanavyo ndiyo halmashauri hii iundwe ili sekta hii ishughulikiwe inavyopaswa. view
• 14 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I think in our attempt to come up with law, we over-legislate. On this issue, I doubt there is any need of coming up with a meaning of a pupil other than a person who is learning in an education centre. The issue of age is obviously going to cause problems. I suggest that the same be dropped. view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Bill. In addition to the same being a constitutional requirement for its passage, we have seen many people going to court in the recent past seeking compensation for torture by the Government and Government agencies since Independence and prior to Independence. The Judiciary has had a chequered history of dealing with these issues because on one hand, they appear to be afraid of indicating that there was a systematic conduct of torture by the Government or policy to torture the Opposition and on the other hand, the police had a policy of The ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: getting evidence through torture. There has not been a law specifically dealing with this issue. The judges give all sorts of findings, some dismissing matters and others giving peanuts in terms of compensation. This law is good because it now creates the necessary provisions under which a person can be compensated. Secondly, the person carrying out the torture can be sanctioned. Third, the victims of torture can be given protection as well as counselling. In any civilized society where people come together to form a Government, the cardinal ground for forming a governmnet is security. If the people that are ... view
• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill subject to certain amendments. In as much as I am opposed to the removal of the participation of Parliament - the National Assembly - in the recruitment process as well as receipt of reports by the Commission, there are certain positive clauses here which I do not think we should throw out. We should just amend and delete the offending clauses. There is a proposal that the commissioners in this body be recruited competitively. That is a clause that is positive. If you read the current law, you ... view

• 26 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Most parastatals that the Government keeps on bailing out other than the ones that are strategic likes KQ--- Let us go the Safaricom way where the Government can become a shareholder. We should leave the management and its control to a competitive and private sector driven process. We have seen a very vast graveyard of parastatals that have attempted to do business in this country and they have really lost. Kenyan taxpayers lost a lot of money because of corruption and incompetence. Even as we speak, we keep on pumping a lot of money into these parastatals. I agree that ... view
