• 4 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Not really hon. Speaker Sir, but following your guidance, I have only read this in the papers; we will do what is necessary. Certainly, there are issues that at times are cross-cutting and I think there is no harm even consulting other committees because all of us have a purpose. The purpose is to serve the people of Kenya. I want to assure you that on the face of it, that is an issue that is within the purview of the Public Investments Committee, and I am glad that Members are beginning to appreciate both the spirit and letter of ... view

• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Member to mislead the Members of this august House that it is not the work of these Members to make decisions for the Executive when he knows that it is the constitutional responsibility of Members of this august House to interrogate the effectiveness of the decisions made by the Executive? That is exactly what this report attempts to do. I would like him to withdraw the remarks that these Members of Parliament are making--- This is because that is a very dangerous statement. We are ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No.40(2). It is about sequence of proceedings and it states thus: “Business shall be disposed of in the sequence The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: in which it appears in the Order Paper or in such other sequence as the Speaker may, for the convenience of the House, direct.” Hon. Speaker, this Report by the Public Investments Committee (PIC) has been around for the last four weeks. I want to plead with you that this be concluded first because what is left is not a lot and then we can move to other business that is on the Order Paper. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you so much. I have just consulted and I hope hon. Kaluma will accept. On the face of it, it is good to be honest about some of these recommendations. Let me explain the background of Recommendations 16 and 17. These are recommendations to the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Recommendation 16 says: “The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) investigates its former and present members and staff who were involved in the handling of the NCPB matter for allegations of corruption, bench fixing, (or influencing the bench), corruption, bias and abuse of office with respect to rulings ...” Hon. ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I say no. I see no harm in that particular recommendation because if there were allegations--- In fact, one witness appeared before the Committee and said “This particular lawyer is the one who bribed judge so-and-so. This particular lawyer got this.” In fact, that particular witness went ahead and gave us evidence of how much that particular lawyer was given and because we did not have the institutional mechanisms to deal with it, we said let this be investigated by the JSC and also by the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). Therefore, I see no harm in that particular ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I agree and I know you are a seasoned lawyer. There are as many opinions as there are lawyers. That amendment that we passed last week was informed by the consultation we had with you. Today we have another lawyer who brings a different version. I want to plead with hon. Kaluma who is a good friend of mine to withdraw that amendment but if he cannot withdraw, even the amendment he is suggesting will have no effect. So, hon. Speaker, I want to suggest that it will be very difficult to have a report that is tailor-made ... view
