• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Justice Madan in the legal circles is the most revered in this country. I am happy that the Minister has provided that. We were happy that they had considered that and that was their considered opinion and we are willing to go. As the report indicates, hon. Nyamweya needed that to be indicated as an objection. view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: The second issue was the issue of the fact Mr. Pravin Bowry was an advocate for a number of individuals and institutions that were on the receiving end. We wanted to know; did they consider in handling these matters, whether that was a bar to his acting? It is important to know that Mr. Bowry acted in a professional capacity. He was not himself accused of corruption. He was not himself an accused person. He was acting as a lawyer for people who were accused of these things. It is the law that one is entitled to representation by a ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, it is important to note that the Commission does not prosecute. It is not true that the Commission will go with an advocate who says: I am a prosecutor and the judge says: No, you cannot prosecute. Prosecution is the preserve of the Attorney-General. What the institution does is the research in terms of the legal research and investigations, prepare the files for the Attorney-General and the Attorney-General moves forward in terms of the case. The other issue is the issue of their qualifications. We looked at actual qualifications of these individuals. Two of ... view
• 23 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our role as a Committee was to approve or disapprove and we had to have basis for those things; not rumours, not perception, but actual basis. Reports of Parliamentary Committees must be based on facts, law and substance. Therefore, we needed to have substance to go one way or the other. There is an institution that this House set up; the Advisory Board that was made up of credible Kenyans. They are Kenyans who have applied for these jobs. view

• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also support the proposed law. I think we should have passed this law a long time ago. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think there is some confusion among hon. Members. This is the Prevention of Organized Crimes Bill. It is not a law against murder or robbery with violence or rape. We already have those crimes in our books, so that if you want to fight murder, the offence of murder is already known in our laws. If you are convicted, the punishment is death. Robbery with violence, which ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: the organized nature and dealing with the organized entity and, therefore, making it a criminal offence to belong to that organized unit. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, I must agree with hon. Mugo that, indeed, our problem is not lack of enough laws. Recently, we passed the Anti-money Laundering Bill and we are now debating the Prevention of Organized Crimes Bill right now. In the next Order, we have the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Bill. We passed a Bill on drug trafficking sometime back in this House. So, the laws are, indeed, there. view
