10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
a prison near home than in a very far land where at times you even do not understand the language of the prison warders in that country. Part I of this Bill clarifies the provisions which will apply when an agreement for the transfer of prisoners between Kenya and other countries is enacted. Part II of the Bill is the application to be made with respect to transfers. For a transfer to take place, application must be made to Kenya or Kenya has to make an application. To make it a bit clear, once we enact this law, even foreigners ...

Part V also specifies the condition of the prison. If you transfer this prisoner from China and you bring him to Kamiti Prison and then you subject him to a harsher punishment then you will have contravened this law. So, you are supposed to maintain the same standards. If the prisoner, for example, is a hardcore prisoner then he will maintain the same standards in our prisons here. More importantly, if that prisoner is transferred, there is no recourse for appeal. One cannot appeal to the Kenyan courts for one to be released. So, if one has been jailed for ...

10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I want to thank my colleagues who contributed immensely to this very important and timely Bill. This is a very important Bill. My senior, Hon. Dalmas, was not in the House. This is one of the Bills that when I walk on the streets of Nairobi, I am reminded about. Even in December when I visited Nakumatt Junction, very elderly members of our society accosted me because they follow the calendar of Parliament. They said: “Hon. Duale, tell your colleagues and the Speaker to pass that Transfer of Prisoners Bill.” There ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to go on record on the HANSARD that Order No.14 was supposed to be moved by Hon. Soipan. She was in the House this afternoon. Secondly, Order 15 is supposed to be moved by Hon. Adan Keynan. Last night in the House Business Committee (HBC), we decided to deal with reports of committees. A decision was made to give more weight to reports.

I want to go on record that the Chairpersons must be very serious. I had to stay around to make sure that I reply to my Bill. You need to give guidance and make a communication because if the Chairperson is away, the Vice Chairperson should not be away. If the Vice Chairperson is away, a member of that committee can move the report. This is not fair to Parliament and to the Kenyan citizens because these reports touch on individual citizens and institutions. The Petitions and the Reports are what Kenyans are waiting for.

10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Following the decision of the HBC, the Order Paper is on the website 24 hours before the sitting of the House. The Clerks of those committees are under obligation to notify their Chairpersons and Vice Chairpersons that their agenda is on the Order Paper. They must prepare notes and come to move, so that Members can contribute. However, it looks like we might be going early today by 35minutes just because one or two Chairpersons abdicated their role. As the Leader of the Majority Party, I am protesting because I should have been given an opportunity to bring Government agenda ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he is totally out of order.

10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my good friend and senior, has not looked at the Order Paper. At Order Nos.13 and 14, the Chairman of PIC belongs to the Opposition. He is not a Jubilee Chairman. It is not about Jubilee or Coalition of Reforms and Democracy (CORD) matter. We are dealing with the 11th National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya. Chairpersons of committees report and work under the Directorate of Committees. The functions of the Leader of the Majority Party under Article 108 of the Constitution do not include the daily running of committees. It is a collective responsibility. ...

10 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am ready but because you deferred three other Orders, that is Order Nos.14, 15 and 16 and looking the time they were allocated time, I anticipated that my Sessional Papers, beginning with Order Nos.17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 would not be reached. I seek your indulgence that I prosecute them in next sitting of the House, and that in future my business should come first so that I can have enough time to play my part. I assure you that I am ready for Order Nos. 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21. I will ...
