• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: But all of a sudden, when the Committee wanted to vet Hon. Kiunjuri, the same DCI said he has a case which was recorded in 2000. It was concluded and Hon. Kiunjuri was again cleared of the case. What we are raising is the fact that we cannot have double standards when dealing with institutions. If you cleared him of cases in 2007, 2013 and 2002 when he was a Member of the NARC Parliamentary Group, today you cannot come back and fish out a 15-year old case. I think that office can do better. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee also noted that the various Credit Reference Bureaus (CRBs) have issued individual nominees with clearance certificates confirming that all the nominees have complied with their loan repayment terms and are not listed by the bureaus as defaulters. Hon. Speaker, the Committee adhered to Section 7 of the Public Appointments (Parliamentary Approval) Act, Cap.136 which provide that the issues for consideration by the relevant House in relation to any nomination shall be:- 1. the procedure used to arrive at the nominee; 2. any constitutional or statutory requirements relating to the office in question; and, 3. the suitability of the ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: (ii) That, the nominees have not been charged in a court of law in the last three years except Hon. Festus Kiunjuri, who has since been discharged of the incitement to violence charges following withdrawal of Criminal Case No. 278 of 2000 via a court order by the Chief Magistrate at Milimani Courts dated 14th December, 2015, pursuant to Section 87(a) of the Criminal Procedure Code. (iii) That, the nominees do not have a potential conflict of interest save for Mrs. Cecily Kariuki, who declared that she has a relative who is an official of the Union of Kenya Civil ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if you allow me, I always stand by what I say. Now that I have been given an opportunity - and I want the Committee Chair to listen to me very categorically - I am going to read the letters dated 7th and 10th December 2015. They are both signed by one Halakhe Waqo. What I am talking about is not frivolous. It is a fact. There are three letters. The first one is dated 7th December 2015, and is addressed to the Clerk of the National Assembly. It says:- “The Commission confirms that there are no outstanding ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: The matter we are dealing with is very serious. The second letter came on 10th December 2015 after the Clerk wrote a letter. It says:- “Vetting of nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries (PSs).” Under subtitle Daniel Kazungu Muzee, Nancy Karigithu and Eng. Victor Kyalo, it says:- “The Commission has undertaken verification of the information received on the above nominees and our findings are that there is no evidence currently to warrant an adverse recommendation.” Now, let me talk to the Committee Chair. As the one who oversees them, this Commission has not lived to the acts ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: That does not happen only in the EACC. Even the Director of Criminal Investigation (DCI) should not give conflicting information. You cannot clear Hon. Kiunjuri in 2002, 2007 and 2013 when he vied for governor and then, when the President gives him an opportunity, you pull something and say that he has a criminal case. Those who are in charge of institutions must respect the tenets of those institutions. Pursuant to Article 152 (2) and Standing Order No.204(4), the Committee recommends that this House, the National Assembly of Kenya, approves the nomination of the following persons for appointment by His ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first, I do not want to interject my counter-part, but I sat and listened. As a pastoralist, I was waiting to see where the road will be. As we drive our camels, we either go to the pasture or to the water. I had no problem because the first issues were the ones that we were discussing. We are dealing with Parliament. I co-chaired the Kamukunji yesterday with the Leader of the Minority Party and a number of senior Members were around. The matter which we are dealing with is for this House to approve the seven nominees ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: As of today, apart from Mrs. Sicily Kariuki who was a Principal Secretary (PS), none of the other six nominees has served in the Executive as Cabinet Secretaries. This is a Special Sitting. It has been gazetted. The agenda is on the Kenya Gazette in which you signed. I remember a number of Members of Parliament were asking me this morning about their various Bills. I told them that we cannot introduce them in this Session outside what was gazetted. With a lot of respect to my colleague, the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade of the National Assembly, ... view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: the Senate Finance Committee have dealt with the matter of the Eurobond. They have reports. Hon. Benjamin Langat is here. view
• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: So, even if you want information, you can only get it in this House through the structures set out and its committees. We must live by the rules that we have created. The Standing Orders and the Constitution guide this House. In a Special Sitting, with a special agenda, you cannot even come and say that you want to table something. That is irrelevant and outside the Motion. I want you to rule Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo out of order in as far as the tabling of some foreign documents - which I do not know and do not want to ... view
