15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Part IV contains, of course, miscellaneous provisions which are common in most of the Bills in terms of keeping the records of the court, performance management schedule, inspection and monitoring of the Court of Appeal. It also deals with ethics and integrity that is required of every judge of the court to sign and ascribe to the Judicial Code of Conduct. It specifies that English and Kiswahili shall be the languages of the Court of Appeal.

Finally, Part IV provides that the court shall ensure reasonable access of its services to all parts of the country. I said last week that one thing out of the many that the Chief Justice, Dr. Willie Mutunga will be remembered for is the decentralisation of the judicial systems in our country. Before him, some of the parts of the country, like where I come from, had District The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Commissioners (DCs) as magistrates. Imagine a DC sitting in a court listening to litigants. I remember when I was growing up and going to school, there used to be a notorious DC in Garissa. I do not want to name him because he has retired. Hon. Oyoo will tell you because he was a good friend of the KANU Party. During the KANU times, half of the magistrates in Kenya were DCs. It is only under the reign of one, Dr. Willie Mutunga that places like West Pokot, Tana River and Garissa have duty station judges. Kitui, and I am ...

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I think it is in the interest of Kenyans. This House is very important. We represent the people of Kenya who always bring petitions to this House. Therefore, Parliament should designate a specific place where Kenyans can picket from morning to evening. Through the Office of the Speaker, Parliament must provide an officer who will go and pick those petitions from Kenyans. This is done in all developed democracies and not only in Kenya. We should create a specific place where they can picket. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ...

Hon. Jakoyo and I were victims when people brought pigs to Parliament. How do you bring pigs to Parliament here in Nairobi? So, if they want to bring pigs, they should be given a place where there will be water, grass and whatever the pigs will be consuming so that even the animal rights issue as enshrined in the Constitution is taken care of. Those who want to bring pigs, camels, goats or sheep can have a specific place and animal feeds are provided as they present their petition. Next time, they should not bring pigs. In my religion, we ...

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I rise to seek a further direction from you regarding the matter that is before this House. The proposal on the establishment of the select committee fails to meet the threshold of gender representation as proposed. For that reason, it would be inappropriate. I wish to seek your guidance on the properness of the select committee being formed in terms of whether it meets the threshold of the Constitution or not. Lastly, on further guidance, we are going through very difficult times as a country – a time when every penny within our public coffers must be wisely ...

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support this Motion to establish a Select Committee to inquire into and report on the allegations of skewed and compromised investigation by various State and non-State actors or agencies on the matter of the 2007 post- election violence (PEV). The Waki Commission then, for those of us who served in the last Parliament, was a commission of inquiry into PEV. It was established by the Government of Kenya in February 2008 to investigate the clashes in Kenya following the disputed Kenyan Presidential Elections of 2007. The PEV Report by the Waki Commission, which is commonly ...

Odinga, on 15th October 2008. That Report was tabled on the Floor of the 10th Parliament, which I had the privilege to serve. It did not publicly disclose the alleged perpetrators of the 2007/2008 PEV. Instead, the Commission handed a list of alleged perpetrators to Mr. Kofi Annan and in July 2009, Kofi Annan handed over that envelope to one Moreno Ocampo, who was then the prosecutor at the ICC. I do not know what happened, but that Report---
