• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Clarity is important in law. All these definitions are trying to align the Employment Act with the Constitution. I support the amendment. view
• 7 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: 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 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I stand to support these amendments, but without reservations having seen several issues which are of concern, mainly the sexual offences which Hon. Nyokabi has already pointed out. In this country, we have known 18 years as the age of obtaining an ID card, voting and it is termed as the age of maturity. For this reason, I am sure all KEWOPA members will not accept any minimum age, not even 17 years and nine months. When I look at the amendment to the National Police Service Act, it is in good order to have ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: representatives should come from different types of disabilities. We have known people with disabilities, particularly physical disabilities as the most visible. People with disabilities like the deaf are not seen because sometimes they are not even able to speak out. When this law makes it mandatory to have different categories represented, that will bring equity. The issue of the Children Act is necessary, though most of it is clean-up. As I conclude, I cannot fail to speak about the Refugees Act. We have known this country to have hosted refugees for the last 25 years in Dadaab and Kakuma camps. ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will speak briefly so that my colleagues can get a minute or two. view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Firstly, we must acknowledge that when we do things the same way and at similar times, we get same results. Year in, year out, we have always had and faced the same challenge where we want to register people at the very last minute. Considering all that is happening in the country such as school fees, climate change and food shortage, that could have contributed to voter apathy. Most importantly, we have political propaganda. As leaders we have to be responsible. We cannot be poisoning our people in the country day in, day out with newspaper headlines speaking of negative ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: I also think that we should go the census way and possibly look at the Budget as a House. How do census officials succeed to know the population of the nation? They go door to door. Possibly, it is time that those departments go door to door. Civic education is not enough, but I know awareness is in place. All vernacular radio stations are speaking about this. The President and the Opposition leaders are all speaking about this and so there is awareness. There must be something that is limiting people to register and these are the issues that we ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: When we look at Form Four leavers, they leave in a group. This is where we can catch a number of the students who finish Form Four level to get IDs and, at the same time, register as voters. Why do we not integrate those documents? Why do we have National Social Security Fund (NSSF) card, National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) card, driving licence and ID card? The list is endless. In my bag, I have AON insurance card, birth certificate and many other The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 1 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: documents. These documents are too many. We need to integrate them. Possibly, if we are feeling secure enough, we may opt to use an ID card, but the way this ID card is given should be interrogated. view
