31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, with a light touch, hon. Junet is reading his point of order and he is teaching the new Members, like hon. Memusi, bad practice. You do not read a statement. Let me make it clear that Article 132(1)(c) says that:- “(1) The President shall- (c) once every year- (i) report, in an address to the nation, on all the measures taken and the progress achieved in the realization of the national values referred to in Article 10”. I have no problem with that one. Subparagraph (ii) provides that:- (ii publish in the Gazette the details of the measures ...

Let me go to Article 254 before I come back to Article 35. I kept reading Article 254 over the weekend when I saw very senior lawyers that I respect in this country saying that the President received the list of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission fraudulently, or outside the Constitution. Article 254(1) states very clearly, both in spirit and in the letter of the Constitution, that:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

“(1) As soon as practicable after the end of each financial year, each commission, and each holder of an independent office, shall submit a report to the President and to Parliament”. This means that the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget, within Chapter 15 of the Constitution, shall submit a report to the President and to Parliament. At the end of every financial year, the President must receive a report from the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, the Inspector General of Police, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, Commission on Revenue Allocation and any Commission under Chapter 15.

For avoidance of doubt, Article 10 of the Constitution talks about national values and principles of governance, which include good governance. President Uhuru Kenyatta talked about it. It also talks about integrity, transparency and accountability. This involves telling Kenyans who is involved in public resources misappropriation. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.

31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
Today the country knows that the constitutional principle that one is innocent until proven guilty still holds. Up to now, nobody is guilty. Under Article 10 of the Constitution; the President must tell Kenyans about national unity, sharing and devolution of power, the rule of law and democracy, and participation of the people. He must also talk about human rights, dignity and equity, social justice and inclusiveness. We have been talking about two tribes being against many others. The President must talk about non-discrimination. Article 10 of the Constitution tells the President to bring any document he has to Parliament ...

31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Nuh has asked if the President has published the document. That is what I did this morning, within the Standing Orders. We could not give that document to the country on Friday or Saturday because we respected procedure and the Standing Orders. We did it this afternoon for the National Assembly. I did not know that my colleagues in the Senate had a morning sitting. This morning, the moment the Leader of the Majority Party tabled the documents, they became public. They have been publicised and are on television.

31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I hope you will give us good guidance. I am sure the men and women in this House gave a voluntary standing ovation to the President; this has never happened since Independence. You cannot give a standing ovation and then backtrack on it. Nobody compelled you to do so. It was because the interest of the nation was stated in black and white. Corruption was laid bare. People who had issues were laid bare.
