• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. For consistency purposes, the amendment should just stand the way the Chair has proposed it. view
• 2 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. I wanted to contribute to the earlier amendment, but I support this one. view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to contribute to this Motion in support of the Report of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. From the outset, I would like to say that I am a son of a retired teacher. I have an elder brother who is also a retired teacher and falls into the bracket of the teachers whose pensions have not been paid. Teachers earn very little yet they labour so much. They sacrifice a lot to make contributions to the development of our children and many of us in this country. However, ... view
• 30 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I support the Report that teachers must be paid forthwith. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I want to follow the proceedings but I cannot because the consultations are too loud. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this amendment. This is an area where I have interest. We know that disadvantaged people in this country, who do not get an opportunity to participate in national functions, are mostly people with disabilities. I believe that this amendment will go a long way to empower them so that they can also take part in the procurement process and participate in the economy of the country. With those remarks, I support the amendment. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment especially because of the Secretary to the Board who is normally the legal mind of the Board. This is very important so that the Board can function properly. view
• 28 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment. My reasoning was the same as Hon. Makau’s. Ethnic balance is something that is talked about over and over. You find skewed appointments in most of these parastatals and people from the same ethnic background occupy all the positions. This is a very important amendment. view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to add my voice to support for this Bill. It is a very important Bill. I have just perused through it. Looking at the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, I see that this Bill seeks to align the governance of the fisheries sector to the Constitution of Kenya. It is very important because for a long time people who survive on fishing as a way of getting income have been exploited so much. You find that people who live near lakes, for example in Kisumu in Nyanza regiom mostly thrive on fishing. ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also wish to add my voice in support of this Bill. This is a progressive Bill. If passed by this House, it is going to solve some of the things that affect our people directly. The Bill, as stated in the Memorandum of Objects and Reasons, aims at giving objectives to effect the provisions of Article 47 of the Constitution. If you look at Clause 4 of the Bill, it states very clearly that any administrative action shall be undertaken in an expeditious, lawful and reasonable manner. Sometimes, some of these Government agencies ... view
