30 Oct 2014 in National Assembly:
Finally, I read a judgment given by some judges in Nyeri, on the case of Embu. If you look at the judgment, the judges are saying they have supervisory powers over Parliament. We should share the judgment with hon. Members of Parliament. A judge is saying that the court has supervisory powers! It can never happen. The Constitution is very clear. There is a whole chapter on Legislature. We draw our powers from Articles 93, 94, 95 and 96. If you want to negate the powers of these Articles, then the same judges should join Pesa Mashinani or Okoa Kenya, ...

mechanism to close the Executive and the Legislature. They should let the Chief Justice become the President of the Executive and Judiciary and also the Speaker of both Houses. When Kenyans went to the Referendum in 2010, they knew what they were doing.

In Section 62(1) of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill that was before this House, it proposed to amend that 62(1) of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 by deleting the existing provisions and substituting therefor with the following new sub-section--- That is what Parliament did.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to read for my colleagues the timelines. The timelines in the Constitution are more when the President is assenting. When the Speaker takes it for assent, it is seven days. If the President does not assent within a certain period, at what time does it become law? But we have no timelines for the period it will be in Parliament. So, before I ask whether Members want the Committee of the whole House to report progress and seek leave to sit again, you know in this House, I am the conveyer and the carrier of ...
