• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: In terms of the reference group that Mr. Musyimi mentioned, the Committee is well aware of this fact. Indeed, in our discussions, we got confirmation from the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs, as she did again today, that, that reference group should be included as one of the other arms of this process. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, let me point out the fact that we are alive to the criticism from the public that this process ought not be dominated by politicians. So, we, as a Committee, intend to ask of the membership of the Committee of Experts that they do not, again, become mouth pieces of politicians or political parties or any political interests. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the biggest weaknesses of the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC) process was that individuals or members of the CKRC were beholden to interest groups and political views. That way, what was seen at the CKRC was, essentially, a replication of the political fights that were going on in the country at that time. view

Indeed, as far as the foreign experts were concerned, we were disappointed that the Annan Process sent us one woman out of the five experts that they sent us. There was quite a bit of debate in the Committee as to whether we should send those names back so that we have more women out of that process. We are happy, though, that, at least, we have met the minimum requirements. view
• 10 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in terms of the process moving forward, this House will be called upon, time and again, to support the process by giving it leadership, guidance and direction. Fe bruary 10, 2009 PARLIAMENTAR Y DEBATES view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am not raising a point of order, but rather giving my two senses work. view
• 3 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Imanyara, kindly, lent me his proposal. On point number nine, it says "recommendations of the Waki Commission." In other words, Mr. Imanyara understands that Justice Waki's recommendations were exactly that - recommendations. view
