• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: On the issue of Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, we seem to have a problem. I am afraid it might not have been captured here clearly. On the issue of compensation for people who have been injured by wildlife, I have in mind the issue of snakebites in my constituency. So many people have been bitten by snakes and they have filled compensation forms, but it has taken over 10 years with no response and no word at all. We are about to prepare a petition as a community and bring it here for Parliament to consider what to do. ... view
• 9 May 2019 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Bill but with reservations and I hope the Committee of the whole House we will deal with those issues that we have raised. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also concur with my colleague, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, in standing to oppose the amendments because I come from a fishing community and we land with our fish at any point. Changing the definition to a “port” from a “landing station” is simply complicating matters. I do not have the Transport Act or the Kenya Ports Authority Act, but changing it into a port is completely changing the definition. It will mean all our small landing sites, for example, in my constituency, including Budalangi, will become illegal and our fishermen will have nowhere to ... view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Just to go on record, I want to trust the interpretation by Hon. Millie and Hon. Cecily Mbarire. I hope there is no mischief and our people will not suffer. I want to trust what they have said. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 8 May 2019 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not intend to comment on this because I have not had a chance to read the Report. I hope I will not be considered to have spoken on this matter. I beg not to be considered to have spoken on this matter. It was just by mistake that my card was there. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have looked at the provisions contained in the Bill and to some extent, I agree with the Committee in deleting the specific sub-clause because as we stand now, the focus should be to strengthen our health services and not to contemplate entering into arrangements for specialised treatments in other countries. Secondly, knowing the history of this country and the poor management at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), we feel that this could be an avenue for another corruption scandal. So, I totally agree and support the amendment by the Committee. Thank you. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. History has come to haunt us and that is why we have proposed these amendments. In my reasonable understanding, quoted equities are as liquid as government securities and fixed deposit accounts are as liquid as government securities. Whereas this seems to be a laudable approach, there is danger lurking in it. I suggest that the Chairperson rethinks this proposed amendment so that as we remove property we can, probably, fix deposit guaranteed funds and leave equity and government securities for purposes of this particular section. Thank you. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: I am supporting with amendments, if they will be allowed. If not, I am opposing. view
• 7 May 2019 in National Assembly: Fair enough. I oppose the proposed amendment. view
