• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: This being a subject of national interest, it is good to know that each person comes from a community and, hence, our Meru Members are bitter when they are raising some of the issues. We have information that the environment is critical for such training grounds. Human dignity should prevail no matter how much our country wants co-operation. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a subject not necessarily from the Government to Government, but even for private institutions today. The training of our own army is something we expect because people should not come and train their own and ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: My main concern here is that having read this document and having said that everyone comes from a community, we are elected to protect our communities. But the communities live in a country. As leaders, we need to differentiate the community, personal interest and the country’s interest. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: Having read this document, it is only fair to support it. Even Member from Meru County should support it without heavy hearts. Section 8 of this document has given the factors informing that the negotiations of this DCA will be in line with our Constitution. Thereafter, they have indicated the civil liability, the environmental protection and the criminal issues, but the most important is that constitutionality and compliance with the law. So, in the past, the British Army could do something and they would go to their country to be tried there. No Kenyan could follow to know if they ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: We also have a liaison team. This is the team which I urge the Meru people to hold or catch with both hands. Let the liaison Committee deal with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge, instead of looking at this matter so negatively, and try to resolve the miraa issue. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I believe the British academic system is quite ahead. I know that they have scientific courses and good institutions. They can make arrangement because this document is one for negotiation. Any ratification comes from negotiation and mutual agreement. We are two parties - the British and Kenyan Government - trying to understand each other in a friendly manner. The way forward should not be very negative, but to see how we can solve this issue. If it is only the view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: issue that is raised fundamentally and the other document is good, we also have a duty as leaders to see how the Meru community can be made happy. The liaison team and the CS will make arrangements and some students from a good institution from Britain can come and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: conduct a research in Meru County to see which other crop can do well there. I have seen something like that indicated here. Even if a natural calamity came and destroyed all the miraa, the Meru Community will not keep on crying that the miraa was destroyed. They also have a duty to supplement or look for the way forward. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: I believe that this is something that is possible. A research can be done in the entire county to see other products - either livestock or horticultural. Possibly, they could fetch more income and create more employment for their county. I do not want to keep on crying and lamenting. This is a negotiation table where we know the British Government has also supported this country in many occasions. We know a big percentage of tourists come from Britain. Tourism activities create employment through hotels and wildlife. That improves our income. So, we also have to negotiate with a positive ... view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: As a person who spearheads policies for persons with disabilities, I am quite concerned when Members speak of ordinances that are left behind and explode leaving some people disabled. Some have other medical experience. That compensation is well stipulated in our Constitution. view
• 1 Sep 2016 in National Assembly: The other good thing that we should pick from this document is this: This is not a document that is there for the entire life. It has a time frame of five years. Most ratification processes can be amended, re-amended and improved. I believe what is put in this document can be improved after five years when people see what has not gone on well. view
