• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: , but even the Government is misusing the Maasai culture. The Brand Kenya initiative is using the Maasai brand to advertise Kenya and yet, they are not paying the Maasais. If the Government is using items of the Maasai culture to advertise this country, then the Maasais should be compensated. Everybody should be proud and keep their culture as a way of life. They should be proud of it. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: I saw a Kikuyu man on television saying how he has used his finances to create a museum or a place where people can see how the Mau Mau used to fight the white man. That man has safeguarded those things. It is not cheap to do that. What is the Government doing to help people who are willing to safeguard our traditions? They should be compensated for their hard work and dedication to make sure that those things are kept for the future generations to benefit. view
• 12 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Bill. Let us add some amendments because, as I said, this Bill should not only protect, but also prevent our cultures from being used by any international court of law as evidence to incriminate our people. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Motion be amended as follows:- By adding the following words “which shall only be activated upon loss or use of firearm in a criminal activity” after the word “electronic device” on the 11th line of the paragraph. I have brought this amendment because if this Motion is left the way it is, it can be used to endanger the lives of those people who are carrying firearms legally. This Motion is meant for those guns that are acquired and used illegally. If you have a firearm which you are using legally, ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: That device can be used when a gun is lost, for example, like when a policeman was attacked in Mombasa and he lost his gun. You do not need a policeman to go to every house The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: beating and arresting people trying to find a gun. That would solve the issue of guns being lost or the issue of a bodyguard in Kisumu giving his gun to somebody else. If he gives his gun to somebody else, they can track that gun because it has been used illegally. So, this thing will only be triggered if the gun is illegally used. We can compare it to a black box in a plane. It is only used when a plane is lost or in an accident. So, I am saying this to try and protect our people. We ... view

• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want this House and my fellow Members of Parliament to understand one thing. If somebody is trying to acquire a gun illegally and then you tell him to put a tracking device on it, do you think he is going to do so? If you read the Motion from the beginning, it talks about victims of crime attributable to stolen and illegally acquired firearms. Those are the firearms that are killing our people.

• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this issue. There is one thing that I want us to understand. The Constitution--- view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Excuse me, Hon. Chris Wamalwa. There is one thing that we need to understand and that is the difference between recommendation and reservation. The President is doing the wrong thing. The Constitution says that the President will send back the Bill with reservations and not recommendation for amendment. What the President is doing is recommending that he wants this to be done. He is not saying what his reservations are. I want someone to tell us the difference between “recommendation” and “reservation”. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report ... view
