Daniel Kitonga Maanzo

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this should be a policy and not plan. In the first place, this law should have been informed by a policy. It being a private Member’s Bill by Hon. Ichung’wah, the Member for Kikuyu, he could also include the issue of...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this seems to be a substantive amendment that seems to enrich Hon. Ichung’wah’s amendment. The Chairperson of the Committee, Hon. Mwathi, has briefly explained that it is going to be electronic and you can see the inclusion of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the Committee Chair on that amendment. The first bit of this law was selective across the country and the regions. Remember, counties are clumped into regions because of the new Constitution. This was segregative, therefore,...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition by Hon. Baya. Some of his prayers, however, may lack jurisdiction to act upon. They may need some channels which are diplomatic, probably through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to be effected. Parliament, for example, may not...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) I think Hon. Ichung'wah or the Chair should clarify this one because Article 58 of the Constitution deals with quite a number of issues. This proposed amendment should probably have stated what qualifies to be a national disaster and to what magnitude. Maybe, it should...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. A prove of ownership of any land is a title deed. Unless acquired fraudulently, those people who have it have an entitlement. On this Petition, the petitioners qualify for adverse possession. It is true – as they have alleged – that...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, owing to the letter presented by Hon. Njomo from KRA confirming that they have capacity, I first want to withdraw my earlier statement that KRA will be overloaded. Secondly, as a Member of the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Co-...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The alumni of any university are very important and ordinarily people are proud of the university they went to. I am very sure people who went to the University of Nairobi are very proud and have very good memories of their...

Hon Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, without the benefit of hearing what Hon. Keter was to say, I am left with no choice, but to agree with the amendment. There should be no factors affecting job seekers. It should be made as easy as possible for them...

Hon. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni, WDM-K) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I agree with Hon. Jude Njomo that our role is to legislate. However, there is a thin line between administrative actions and legislation. Indeed, that is why we have delegated legislation to verify some of the things that we...
