• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: This was protecting them from being deceived: "That I have lawfully married you", whereas you may be having somebody in your constituency who is your lawful wife. But the society has changed. Now, young boys are being lured by sugar mummies. They can also be deceived and so on. So, Ms. Ndung'u's amendment, which is now restoring the balance, is the right thing to do. So, I oppose this amendment, but I will be supporting Ms. Ndung'u's amendment. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I am opposing this amendment because of two reasons. One, she has moved an amendment for nothing that is existing. We deleted the law and how can she amend what we have erased? We amend what is existing. Secondly, when two adults live together "carelessly" for one year or ten years, why must we rule them? Animals are there in the world to stay together and procreate. So, let the human beings stay the way they want. Why should we regulate people who want to stay together? view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Housing Act (Cap.117) be amended by deleting the expression "twenty- one days' notice" and substituting therefor the expression "ninety day's notice." Initially, we had proposed 21 days for the local authorities to put their houses in order, before the National Housing Corporation could take over the property. But 21 days might be too short. Therefore, we are now proposing 90 days. I can say that this a joint amendment with the Committee. view

• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. We are proceeding very well. The mood in the House is good for discussing these various amendments, some of which, although may appear minor, are very important. We do not want to rush them through. We want people to discuss them exhaustively as we move on. It is now 6.25 p.m. Therefore, I beg to move, under Standing Order No.107, that this Committee does report progress to the House and seeks leave to sit another day. view
• 6 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the House doth agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
• 5 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears that the Assistant Minister cannot read that letter and tell us the names of the people involved. If the money for the youth was deposited in the district treasury, why did the DC give out money to individuals and he knew that youth groups were not yet registered? If the money was withdrawn, was it given to the youth groups? Could he tell us the names of the youth groups that benefited from the money that he is talking about? view

• 4 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I ask my question, I also want to congratulate the Minister for Gender, Sports, Culture and Social Services for leading a team out of this country, which attained position two in the world. If the Minister is an hon. Member of this committee and up to now she is not aware of what is happening, honestly, why does she sit in the committee, and as who? Does she sit there as a Minister? If she is not aware, does it mean that she sits in the committee without brains? view
