"content": "I think this is totally wrong! And we are not, as Parliament, even taking over what the courts do. We do not need the court to read for us what is in black and white. Nobody is saying that Section 8(3) which we used for the appointment needs interpretation but they are telling us to go for interpretation of âre-appointingâ because it is supposed that the word âreappointâ means something different. We have now settled that. It means âappoint once again.â So, how do you appoint? The Interpretation and General Provisions Act, Cap.2, Section 51(1) and (2) on all forms, clearly stipulates that where a statute or an Act of Parliament fails to provide the manner of either dismissal or reappointment, then the same procedure you used to appoint is what is used. Therefore, even to sack the Director or to impeach him, you have to get a recommendation from the board. Even to appraise him, you have to start again. So, let us not mislead the public. The National Assembly means we are national leaders. We are assembled here as the national leaders of this great country called Kenya. Let us leave ethnicity, friendship or partisanship from this debate. It does not matter where Ringera, Smokin or Fatuma comes from. It is about procedures. We promised Kenyans when we passed the National Accord to usher in the Coalition Government that we, as Parliament, are going to ensure that the Executive carries out the reform agenda. We are showing ourselves to be an anti-reform institution even on a matter as clear as this if we continue to insist that what the President did is right when it is clearly wrong. Those who can stand up and say: âMr. President, sorry, this is wrong!â, those are the loyal servants of Kenya."
