• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The essence of this amendment under the transitional and consequential provisions was meant to protect the Members of this august House. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at this document, we have put a benchmark for the Judiciary. If this document passes as it is, the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya is required to resign six months after this document becomes law. The Attorney-General is also required to resign within a year. We have set very stringent view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: conditions for the re-appointment of any judge. Equally, under the Schedule, there are a number of activities that this Parliament is expected to fulfill and if we fail, and this is what my amendment is concerned about--- I want to bring this to the attention of the Members, the amendments that I have proposed which concerns the deletion of--- view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a right to be heard! view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 261(6) and all of them; just for purposes of us, this is what it says. If this august House fails to implement the Schedule attached to this document, the consequence is the same; judges whom you have asked to be vetted or resign, any member of the public can go to court, petition and the court shall make a declatory order, that order is presented to Parliament and the Attorney-General and, if Parliament fails, the Chief Justice advices the President and he “shall” dissolve Parliament. But taking into account the mood of hon. Members, I wish ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for hon. Affey to mislead the hon. Members, when I know that the majority of the Members of--- view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was on a point of order. Is it in order for hon. Affey to mislead Kenyans and this Tenth Parliament when I know that the residents of northern Kenya, not only in North-Eastern Province, but the entire former North Eastern Province (NEP) region – and I can bet – are going to vote against this document? This is because through this document their rights have been reduced to privileges--- view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Constitution-making is a political process. Yesterday, I participated in a decision of the House Business Committee (HBC) which came up with this programme. Today, I stand here to disown that particular decision and say that there is no need to extend the time for two reasons. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we went through in the morning is a reflection of what we are likely to go through, even if we extend time not only for the hours that have been mentioned, but also even if we were to be here for the next one month. ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I have no problem in giving the Assistant Minister one more day, the issue touches on the lives of very young Kenyans who were duped by none other than the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). These students have all been awarded arbitrary marks contrary to what they have worked for, for the last 12 years. It is prudent that the Ministry brings a satisfactory answer that will save the lives of these young and innocent Kenyans. view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Ministry has raised the expectations of Kenyans and, especially, those of us who come from disadvantaged regions like mine where computers are rare. The student community is not familiar with computers and it is disadvantaged. Could the Minister consider transferring the money to respective Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) so that we know the money is safe? view
• 24 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: If the issue is money, we have less than three months to the Budget! I believe the Minister is not telling the House the truth. If the issue is money, he should know that these are his colleagues; if the money is there, there is no need for his Ministry to take nine months just to design a concept paper. That does not make sense! Could he consider taking the money back to the constituencies as he had promised? view
