• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: So, we are appealing and pleading with the MCAs that they should use the powers that have been conferred to them under this Bill. The good thing is that this Bill also provides for discipline for those who misuse these privileges. It also protects them from being sued unnecessarily by fictitious litigants while they are contributing in the House. So, we are providing an environment where MCAs can express themselves freely. As you rightly spoke to my good friend from Igambang’ombe, Members can express themselves in the manner in which they deem fit without being penalised. So, we hope that ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know what beef Hon. Gumbo has with this Bill. He is my very good friend. I do not know why he is opposing a very good Bill. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the Members who contributed. This is a very important Bill that was sponsored by the Senate and it has come to us rightly so. If we pass this Bill, it will regulate a number of activities dealing with fundraising and this will replace the Public Collections Act, which was first introduced into this House during the ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this important Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) (No.2) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.58 of 2015). This Bill was a spin-off of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that we passed last year. This was to ensure that we removed the provisions or clauses that do not touch on the counties, but touch on the national Government. They were domiciled in the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments Bill) that we passed last year. view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: This one is a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that touches on the county governments and, therefore, it will be going to the Senate after we pass it. As rightly mentioned by the Leader of the Majority Party, this Bill seeks to amend certain sections of the principal legislations that are minor in nature and do not necessarily require publication of separate Bills with respect to the particular principal legislations. Hon. Speaker, the proposal to amend the Copyright Act of 2001 is seeking to ensure that performers and producers of sound recordings are remunerated properly. Our artists have been exploited ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: We know that some women capture these artists to enrich themselves. One example is a very famous lady by the name Kim Kardashian who recently lost US$10million in Paris. She has been getting married to artists who are very rich. In the process, she has become very rich. She gets married for about two months, divorces and shares the property of these artists. Some artists have been taken advantage of by some people globally. 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
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: The second one is the amendment of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development Act of 2013. This is to provide for resignation of the chairperson. The law did not provide for resignation. It just provided for amendment. It meant that the chairperson could not resign under any circumstances, but now we are seeking to amend this Act to ensure that the chairperson is given an opportunity to resign if he so wishes, so that like in other legislations, somebody is not forced to serve when they do not want. The Bill seeks to amend the Kenya Law Reform Commission Act ... view
• 5 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I second. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have a Paper to lay on the amendments to the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. We sat until very late yesterday. So, the amendments are still being worked on. Please allow me to table them by 11.00 a.m. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to second. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, the House should note that when you referred this Bill to us yesterday, we sat from 10 O‘clock non-stop to 4.00 p.m. without taking lunch, and with no breaks, including the one who is from maternity leave. She sat throughout and you know she is still young. view
