• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: of those things which have been said are because somebody has refused to adhere to the Constitution. I have not heard anybody raising the matter of those people who lost their lives and property because of other people’s rights. I am left wondering who will protect our country if not this House. As much as we want to show how much we know, there should be order in this country. Where do we get these orders from? It is from us. How do we do it? We use the law. The laws which have been quoted there, even if I ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda, kwa kunipa mwanya kuchangia Hoja hii muhimu kuhusu kazi ya askari wetu hapa nchini. Sitasema mengi kwa vile wenzangu Waheshimiwa wamegusia. Nitagusia mawili matatu ili niwape wengine nafasi kuchangia pia. La muhimu ni kwamba ukiangalia idadi ya wale askari wanatufanyia kazi, haswa viongozi, wanakaa maeneo duni sana. Isitoshe, idadi ya askari wanaotufanyia kazi ni haba mno. Nimesema hapa mara kwa mara kwamba tuko zaidi ya watu 500,000 katika eneo langu la Ruiru. Idadi ya askari wanaotuchunga Ruiru ni 153. Ukiangalia hicho kitengo, utapata askari mmoja anachunga watu zaidi ya 3,000. Hata kama anataka ... view

• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Nilikuwa nasema hivi, nitarudia ili asikie vizuri kwa sababu hili ni jambo muhimu. Linahusu binadamu kama mimi. Nimesema askari, hata kama wameenda chuoni, kufunzwa na kufanya utafiti kuhusu afya yao na ni nini wanaweza kubeba, wanastahili kula vizuri. Kama eneo la kufanyia kazi halitoi nafasi ya kukaa na kuwa na afya nzuri, atawezaje kufanya kazi? Labda siku fafanua vizuri. Hilo ndilo fafanuzi langu. Naomba tusichukulie hili jambo kwa mzaha. Hapa nje ya Jumba hili, mtu anayengojea kunisaidia kufika kwangu, kwa nyumba, kwa kuwa nitatoka hapa saa moja usiku, ni yule askari atanizindikisha. Kama riziki yake ni mbaya, roho ya kunitunza ... view

I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 37 of the Constitution guarantees every person the right, peaceably and unarmed, to assemble, to demonstrate, to picket, and to present petitions to public authorities; noting that there is need to guarantee that the enjoyment of rights and fundamental freedoms by any individual should not The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: prejudice the rights and fundamental freedoms of others; noting that demonstrations and picketing in cities and major towns in the Country, particularly in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu have on many occasions resulted in destructions, loss of lives and property, public disorder, and creation of an unfavourable business environment; noting that the rights and freedoms are not unconditional because the Government has a duty and responsibility to ensure maintenance of peace and public order, and protection of the rights, life and property of all its citizens; this House resolves that the Government should designate and gazette specific areas and streets for ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much for giving me this opportunity to expose what happens when we are demonstrating and picketing out there. I want to notify this House that between January 2017 and November 2017, people in this country demonstrated 175 times. Half of last year, 2017, we were busy either demonstrating or picketing. What is the issue about this? The demonstrations in Kenya are characterised by violent and that is known. When there is violence, people are armed with guns, crude weapons and slings, which are very popular here. There is looting and mugging everywhere. There is also destruction of ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: What is the effect in our country when we are demonstrating and picketing in a manner that is not in order? Those are the effects. I want to give an example of the tourist industry. When we block our roads, close international airports, people do not go to work and schools do not operate because teachers are at home, sick people do not go to hospital because one is trying to fight for his or her right, does the one who fails to attend his or her normal duties lack rights? That is the question. It is high time we ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The economy of this country relies on tourism. When we block our airport, visitors do not come. Our hotels are also affected. We have noticed hotels recording zero admission. A good example is Wild Park Hotel in Laikipia. It has recorded zero admission in many occasions because somebody is trying to fight for his or her right. We lose a lot of money for this country. Impala Park in Kisumu was almost closed because somebody was fighting for his or her right. We should be orderly when we are doing what the law allows. People have lost lives. Article 27 ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: We are complaining about street lights. We have just finished discussing a security matter. This officer wants to work when there is light. Somebody vandalises the same light as he or she is trying to look for his right. Are we being fair to ourselves? We are not. When we block the airport or the port, let us remember they are used by foreigners. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
