• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, that is why I am saying that if you look at Section 4 of the Act it, it says that more than one person may have parental responsibility for the same child at the same time. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, why I did not want to repeal this Section is very clear. We are trying to take powers away from the courts to determine the responsibilities and placing them within the Act. What it means is that the best interests principle of the child - I still stand by that - is very clear. It is at the time of conflict that hon. Kang’ata and any other lawyer will go and represent that voiceless child before a court. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move:- view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I send my condolences to the people of Kabete for the loss of their MP, hon. Muchai. That morning I met with the hon. Member who has just spoken. I wish to tell Members of Parliament that we must be careful when we are out there. What we saw together with Senator Wamatangi is completely unspeakable. So, may the Lord rest hon. Muchai’s soul in eternal peace. I want to state from the outset that this is a list which is eliciting a lot of different reactions from both sides of the House. ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: months. He will also go home! That is a fact. He will also be at home. Two, if I have an issue with the Leader of Majority Party and he is safeguarded by the Standing Orders, we must change those Standing Orders before we get that list. What I am saying is that we must stand tall this new year and cleanse this House starting with this list so that we retain our dignity and respect to the people of Kenya. If today we reject this list and we say we want people of integrity, I believe and I can ... view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Okay. view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Alright hon. Speaker, I withdraw and apologise and refer to him as hon. A.B. Duale. He will not see his name in this list. The reason the House went down on its knees last year is because we have hon. Members who conduct the business of this House as if we are conducting our own affairs. We must have serious people who can read the mood of this House and make sure this House does the correct business at the right time. If we are going to pass a list because we fear going home for six months, we are ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak on this Bill. From the outset, I want to say that it is not through making laws to please some people that we will be realistic to the security problems that we face in this country. As Parliament, we must make laws for prosperity of this country and which can stand the test of time for this nation. There are serious issues within this Bill which I believe, as Members of Parliament, we need to think together and do some amendments; though some look very weird. I want to ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: and Tutsis killed each other. By the time the world woke up to this realisation, 800 people had already been butchered. Hon. Speaker, I want to be very categorical on the issue of public demonstrations. If we pass this Bill, I can assure you that it will be very difficult for you to hold some of the public rallies which you do not require permission. If we are going to pass this Bill, my biggest problem is we will need to amend the Act, to make sure that we have specific areas which are completely enlisted to be used. If ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to wish all Kenyans and the people of Matungulu a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. view
