• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I thank you. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment in view of the fact that it complies with Article 100 of the Constitution of Kenya, but I am left wondering. One, I am not so sure whether women, being the majority in this country, still constitute a special interest group. They are probably a special interest group in the sense that they are a domineering interest group. In that case, we then allow it to go. Secondly, on the issue of ethnic and other minorities, I keep stating and I have no apologies to make, that it is a matter of ... view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with due respect, I request that my senior colleague in Parliament should not inform me. Let me prosecute my case and complete it. She will have a chance to contribute. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Precisely. view
• 10 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I was just concluding. I sympathise with Hon. Kioni, the Chair of the Committee. He is struggling to legislate for an uninterested group of people. We have 349 Members of Parliament. We have a large number of them who purport to be youth. We have a large number of them who are women and yet if you look around, you can only just see a droplet of those special groups. I hope we are not wasting legislative time, but truly doing something. I hope they will get a bit of interest. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my senior colleague is not factual, specifically on the issue of edible oils. I do not purport to speak for KEBS but I sit in the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-operatives --- view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. He is not being factual. He is misleading the House. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was waiting because I was detailed by my Chair for the Departmental Committee on Industry, Trade and Cooperatives to make a comment in respect of one particular clause, Clause 27 so to speak. I will make other comments after I have made a presentation on the matter. There is an amendment to Business Registration Act (No. 5 of 2015) and this amendment has been necessitated by the reassignment of the function of ease of doing business from the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Ministry of Industrialisation, Trade and Enterprise Development to the Ministry of East African Community for purposes of coordination. Consequently, the import of the amendment is to include the party or the department responsible for ease of doing business to sit on the Business Registration Services Board. That is essentially why they propose to delete reference to the CS in charge of Trade and replace it with CS in charge of business reforms and transformation. That is why there is that particular change. We received public comments, fortunately or unfortunately, from only the State Department for Trade and the Office of ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: National Building Code, which was never concluded because of one thing or another. It is the best way to go. But geographically, a sparse country like ours, with different housing expectations and housing definitions, it will be practically impossible to have one overriding building code that will uniformly cover the peculiar housing requirements of the people of north eastern and the people of Funyula Constituency. Some of the times we make very good proposals, but we need to subject them to reality checks to confirm that we know the correct position. So, it will be important that at a particular ... view
