• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, all I am trying to do--- view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: The amendment is a simple one. I propose to amend the proposed amendment by putting a full stop after Article 26, and then deleting the rest of the words. As moved by Mrs. Mugo, you go up to “subject to the deletion of Clause 4 of Article 26.” You delete the rest of the words. The effect of that would be to delete Article 26(4) from the main draft. You can safely delete that because under sub-paragraph 3, we have used the words “other written law”. That “other written law” will take care of situations where a person can be ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Dr. Khalwale is doctor and will second me. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. As hon. Githae has said, it is true that the mood of the Members indicates that no amendment will pass. I, therefore, concur with him that we view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want, as always, to thank you for your very good ruling that you have made on this matter. I have noticed that in addition to the supplementary question by Mr. Olago, you have emphasized the issue of covering the legs and that forms a very critical part of the ruling; that the legs should be covered. I was just wondering; if I came here with a Scottish kilt where my legs are not covered – as you know for kilts, you are not covered about two or three inches above the knee – would that be ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me thank you sincerely for seeing me, so that I can contribute to this very important debate. view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I want to be very honest that Kenyans have yearned to have a new Constitution for a very long time. They have yearned for this document for more than 20 years. But that does not mean that we accept this draft blindly because we have been yearning for it. We must accept and analyze it. We must criticize it. Those who are for and those who are against the Draft Constitution must be ready to listen to each other. Those who have different ideas must compare notes. First, I want to thank the Kenyans who gave their views. I am ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Why were you born a Bukusu if you do not want to be circumcised? You go where you want. I hold this one with passion. Why should you legislate against the culture of the people? Surely, it is wrong. We cannot say that Kenya is a non-religious state. Culture is a religion to some of us. We believe in our religion. How can you legislate against my religion? For example, if today you say that I am not allowed to receive the Holy Communion, why should I then go to church if I am not going to receive the Holy ... view
• 25 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you go further, Clause 30(2) says that a person shall not be required to perform forced labour. I am a teacher by profession and I am sure there are some of my students here. I do not want to name them, but I actually slapped them to read hard. If they came late, I gave them manual labour to work in the school garden. That is how some of them ended up being doctors and Members of Parliament. Today, you are giving a blank statement that no person is required to perform forced labour. What ... view
