• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is just a suggestion that instead of getting the report of the interviews, the amendment should read; “a report of the proceedings”. That will ensure that you have the interview plus any other proceedings. This is wider because there might be deliberations and not just the interview. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I wish to propose an amendment to the amendment by Ms. Karua so that her proposed amendment reads as follows:- view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: “And submit to Parliament a report of the interview proceedings, which should include inter alia, scores of each candidate interviewed by individual members of the interviewing panel together with the criteria used in selecting the names forwarded.” view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to thank the Minister. If you recall, this Bill was committed to the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC). But the Committee was very busy with the Chief Justice’s and the other appointments. We did not have time to complete this. The amendments that Members had proposed were sent to the Minister and he was kind enough to take them all on board. We are grateful and this is one of them. Recently, Parliament had to amend one of the laws that it had passed because we had given a seven day window ... view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Again, I just want to correct the Minister that it was not from the CIOC but from the Auditor-General who felt that this was a constitutional office and we could not really handle constitutional functions in an acting capacity. One has to be a substantive holder. view
• 16 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to join the Members in congratulating the Minister. There is a Bill published for vetting that had been proposed by hon. Mungatana. That Bill needs to be either taken up by the Minister or in conjunction with the Member, it needs a lot of effort for us to work seriously on that issue that hon. Wetangula pointed out. In the other jurisdictions, this matter is very well regulated. Allegations against people who are aspiring for high office are not brought to any Committee until investigations are conducted about those allegations, so that they do ... view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I strongly oppose the Motion. The CIOC has been working overtime to ensure that work that was meant for another Committee is handled. This House has bent over backwards to accommodate the issues of the Executive. We will be happy in doing so. However, we cannot ask Parliament to shorten time and sit up to midnight when there is not much work being done on the other side. They do not have even one Bill in the pipeline to be debated. This is one Bill that we sat up--- view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is precisely the point. This House had to extend time so that CIOC could have enough time to handle and finish its work. The point I am making is that Parliament is more than ready to do this. However, we cannot let the Executive get away with it every time. Sometimes, we must say no, so that the signal is sent that we are ready to do our work on this side, and they must be ready to do their work on the other side. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Constitution Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 14th June, 2011 on the approval of the nominations of Dr. Willy Munywoki Mutunga as the Chief Justice, Ms. Nancy Makokha Baraza as the Deputy Chief Justice and Mr. Keriako Tobiko as the Director of Public Prosecutions, pursuant to Articles 166(1)(a) and 157(2) of the Constitution read together with Section 24 of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution. view
• 15 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, while this House has, in the past couple of years, handled a number of historic businesses and issues, this particular business before the House is, indeed, the most historic. It is the first time in the history of this country that the nominee for Chief Justice, the nominee for Deputy Chief Justice, and the nominee for Director of Public Prosecutions have come to this House for approval by the representatives of the people of Kenya. The Constitution says “We, the people- --” This is, indeed, a moment of “we, the people”, where this House has been ... view
