• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I want to put across that this Bill does not concern county government matters. So, it can be a document of this House. It is also good to note that this is a money Bill as per its purpose. This is because it will incur some expenses to the Exchequer. view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I want to reflect back where we have come from, especially for freedom of expression and freedom of rights. I will be doing harm if I do not recognise the following leaders who have made us come this far because history is beautiful: I can recall Hon. Jaramogi Odinga, Hon. Martin Shikuku, Hon. Kiraitu Murungi, Hon. James Orengo, Hon. Kenneth Matiba, Hon. Paul Muite, Hon. Raila Odinga, Hon. (Dr.) Mukhisa Kituyi, not forgetting Hon. Prof. Wangari Maathai on environment. Hon. Muturi Kigano, I have remembered you. It is only that you are not in this record. view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Remember these people fought for the rights of this country. It is mentioned that the Kenya Constitution is in the league of South Africa, as it fought to remove apartheid. Hon. Deputy Speaker, there are some few areas where we need to strengthen, especially recognising Article 27(3) to (4) of the Constitution, which talks of equity and freedom of demonstration and picketing where women, youths and people with disability are supposed to be given an opportunity to survive or to conduct their business as healthy people are demonstrating. Some people just ignore it. Article 37 of the Constitution grants every ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: One would ask: Why did you come with this Bill? I reflected back and tried to do a survey of the effect of uncontrolled demonstrations and picketing in our country. I went to some few institutions which I will quote here, once I am given that opportunity. One is the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA). This is on record. During the demonstrations which were there in 2017, the Kenya Government lost Ksh700 billion in that very short time. It means that there were some people who waited for the demonstrations so that they can do their evil deeds. If there ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: If you look at the banks, when there are riots, people do not go to banks. According to the same report, the banks lost between Ksh30,000 to Ksh90,000 in a single day. The big restaurants here in town have also given their numbers which stand at Ksh150,000 per day during that demonstration. What was worse is the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). When people stayed at home, especially the foreign investors gave what I call “wait and see”, the entrepreneurs in this country lost Ksh50 billion that single day. So, you can see if we continue allowing demos to take place, ... view
