• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have the honour to second this Motion. I believe the hon. gracious lady has clearly laid down the legal basis for the appointments. There is absolutely no doubt that the appointments were contrary to statutes. The straw that the other side is hanging on in terms of disappointment is the re- appointment that is mentioned in the schedule. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: I just want to point out that any schedule in any Act always has the ruling section and the top of that schedule. The ruling section for this schedule is Section 8. Section 8 is very clear on the appointment procedure. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, nowhere in the schedule does it talk about the President appointing anyone. It says one may be re-appointed. Nowhere does it say it is the President that appoints. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: This issue is not about the President. It is not about the Executive. It is about this House. Today, this House has a date with destiny.

The very fact that on the Front Bench are Members of the Executive who are also Members of Parliament; the very fact that the President and Prime Minister are elected Members of this House, that clearly shows that by law we do not have a system that is clear on separation of powers. We are closer to the system called fusion of powers. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, parliamentary systems of government have fusion of powers where the Executive resides in parliament. Then parliament is absolutely supreme. In terms of presidential system of government, you have very clear separation of powers where the Executive has very little to do with Parliament. view
• 16 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just showing the interventions that the Committee had decided. However, I will agree with your direction. This country is undertaking a lot of reforms. These reforms have to bear fruits. The Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) was part of the reforms introduced by the NARC Government. Parliament is right now a reformed institution. Parliament has a whole new set of Standing Orders. I beg that Ministers familiarize themselves with these Standing Orders. Parliament has a Financial Management Act in place. Parliament is free through the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). This is a reformed institution. It ... view
• 9 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Joint Sittings of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and the Committee on Delegated Legislation, on the appointment of Director and two Assistant Directors of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission, tabled in the House on Tuesday, 8th September, 2009. view
