14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose the deletion of this Clause. I will go back if you give me time. This House created the institution of the DPP and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). You cannot - and it is not even morally right for you - subject the people we represent and the citizens to those institutions while we insulate ourselves when we commit a crime from the same institution. If a serious corruption issue, for example, happens in this House, you do not want to face the Office of the DPP. Sen. Muthama, a very good friend ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I really cannot mislead because I am a son of a Sheikh. You can see the way Hon. Keynan is trying to trivialize the matter. It is not about the hon. Member for Turkana doing it. We are talking of a serious crime being The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
committed in the precincts of Parliament. By deleting this amendment, you are saying the Speaker and the Clerk, who are our leaders, cannot ask. How does the DPP come to Parliament because Members enjoy privilege? Hon. Keynan, let us not trivialize this issue. I want to say again that we cannot have the cake and eat it. We cannot have two classes of people in this country - laws for citizens and laws for Members of Parliament. We must live to the progressive nature of the new Constitution.

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this provision is giving an officer, who is not even identified, absolute powers - a blank cheque. Is the officer a Serjeant-at-Arms officer or the Clerk? My good friend, Hon. Millie Odhiambo, or I can be framed by this officer and taken out of the precincts of Parliament on flimsy grounds. I oppose the amendment.

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
This provision is already in the current Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act. You can pick the law. It is here. Let me finish. The intention of this was to empower the Serjeant-at-Arms to summon even a Member of this House when he is called or summoned before a Committee. This thing happened during the Ninth Parliament during the Commission to investigate the death of Robert Ouko. Hon. Biwott refused to appear. So, if you allow us some time, we will re-do this amendment properly and have this officer called the Serjeant-at-Arms. This clause only talks about an officer. We must ...

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
My point of order is that I agree with Hon. Keynan. He has the numbers, but he is misleading. There is no Ethics Committee in the House of Commons. What is in the House of Commons is exactly what is provided for in this amendment.

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want my colleagues to listen to me. The genesis of this amendment is based on the Powers and Privileges Report on cases investigated by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and this House is aware of it. This office is not unique, that is where we can disagree. This office has been created in the House of Commons in the UK; it is in the Parliament of Australia and the United States Congress. It is in all progressive legislations---
