• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: The courts have not known how to contextualize the English Law in our Kenyan situation. As you know among the Maasai, and I can see hon. (Maj-Gen.) Nkaissery is walking away, it is assumed that there is no woman who owns anything. However, this Bill gives women rights in property including owning cows. I can see that he has walked out because he does not want to give out cows. However, this Bill makes it very clear as to who owns what. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not insinuating anything. This is a very clear and straightforward Bill. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We have also made proposals to amend Clause 14, so that it is clear that it is not necessarily matrimonial property but property within marriages. There are a number of consequential amendments that we have proposed as a result of aligning this Bill to our Kenyan culture and traditions, so that it is contextualized. We are not applying the English Law anymore. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that this Bill be now read a Second Time. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. With your permission, I request hon. Kajuju to second this Bill. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why we are consulting with hon. Kajuju is precisely concerning matters that the Member on the Floor has raised. He has raised very fundamental issues. He did raise the issue with me privately and so, I was very concerned as to how we can accommodate it. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Order, hon. Chepkonga! You know that this Bill will spill over to the next sitting. Take a lot of notes now and you can have your private session with hon. Kajuju later in the day. Proceed, hon. Muchai. But I am sure it was a fruitful discussion. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I realise that hon. Chachu Ganya has not noticed that there has been a change of guard. So, he is making reference to Mr. Speaker and I am sure he can see that you are Madam Speaker. So, maybe he needs to amend his language. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of information, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Maybe, the Member has not read our Report with respect to division of property in the event of a divorce so that he takes into account what is contribution. view
• 17 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: We have amended Clause 7 of the Bill to provide that the apportionment will be equal share irrespective of what one has contributed. The amendment we are proposing says that the apportionment will be according to the contribution the spouse has made. So, the court will have to value the contribution that you have made together as stated in the interpretation part. view
