• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I was bringing this amendment with a lot of gusto because we need to bring a lot of discipline to the Senate. We do not want this smuggling business into Bills and denying us our role to enact laws in accordance with Article 95(3) of the Constitution. But since it is a very important amendment, I withdraw my proposed amendment. view

• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, the Protection Against Domestic Violence Bill, 2013 be read a Second Time. This is a very important Bill. The Committee had time to deliberate on this matter. We have received sufficient memoranda from the public as required by the Constitution. We have considered those memoranda that were received from members of the public. As a Committee, we are proposing to make several amendments which we will move in the Third Reading. For purposes of Second Reading I would like us to highlight the Bill generally. This Bill seeks to recognize that domestic violence ... view

It ensures that where domestic violence occurs, there is effective legal protection and relief for victims who may suffer such violence in the hands of persons who are assumed to be guardians, parents or protectors of such persons. The Bill also provides for the protection and relief of victims of domestic violence. As you know, previously, there has never been relief for persons who have been abused in domestic dwellings or domestic relationships. This Bill now seeks to provide for such relief and compensation. If a spouse, child or any of the dependants in a domestic dwelling place or ... view
• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: visit such a person who is protected in a particular room. This person will be restricted to particular rooms only in the house so that they do not interfere with the persons who are protected by the court. It has been very difficult for the courts to issue such orders. For the respondents who have been abusing their spouses or children, their days are numbered when this Bill is passed here. Let me just mention that this is a Bill that does not touch county governments. Although it is applicable in our constituencies, it does not touch the county governments. ... view
• 19 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: that this Bill is strengthened and made to be in consonance with our Constitution and all the other laws. In particular, the Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure laws will be applied in this Act. What we did was to remove the provisions of the Civil Procedure and the Criminal Procedure from this Act because the two Acts are created to apply to all legislations that is passed by this House. So, it is completely unnecessary to reproduce the Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure Acts in this Bill. It just burdens the Bill. It makes it untidy and so what we ... view

• 14 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise on a point of order as per Standing Order Nos.83 and 107. Is it in order for hon. Wanga to use un- parliamentary language that this House is demonizing governors, when she knows I have a lot of respect for my own governor; Governor Mandago? In fact, I have never used un- parliamentary language against him. In fact, I think what the Senate merely did cannot be imported into this House. So, would I be in order to ask you to order hon. Wanga to withdraw parts of her innuendos that we ... view
