• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my Statement is very categorical. Hon. Mule asked why we are reinventing the wheel, and why we cannot go back to the available list. The Jubilee Government believes in the rule of law. This same House, in rejecting the chairperson and five other members of the Commission made a serious recommendation – that the selection panel, headed by one Dr. Kamunge, had integrity issues and, therefore, we must go for a fresh panel. So, that is why the Government has taken that direction. It is not the decision of the Executive. Even today the Executive can ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: You know my good friend hon. Mbadi is very busy; he is more concerned with the Marriage Bill, which is coming. He did not listen to the last bit of my Statement saying what the Committee of Parliament recommended as a resolution of the House vis a vis the Statute Law, Section 8(6) of the TSC Act. The ball now is with the Attorney General to advise both Parliament and TSC. So, we are yet to appoint a panel to replace Dr. Kamunge. If you want to read the Statement, I will give it to you. But because of the ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Of course, he has the VAT Bill and some other serious Bills which I am sure we are yet to discuss. If you allow me, hon. Mule talked about people going to court. There are a number of ligation issues--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I want to confirm to the House that the TSC matter is very important as well as the Marriage Bill. view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: They are all important but one has come earlier. The issue of the court cases, these are serious litigation matters. Even if we form another panel or other names are brought to Parliament, Kenyans are at liberty to go to court from Monday to Friday. That is why we created the Judiciary under the able leadership of hon. Willy Mutunga. As my good neighbour here, the Member for Mandera South, hon. Huka, stated, we need to fast track and deal with the lacuna raised by the hon. Member for Suba, about which way to go. The Parliamentary Committee way is ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I want to start with the last one because it was very interesting. If a Committee of this House receives five nominees and they feel two have issues and three are okay, you bring an approval for those three--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I had the privilege of serving with hon. Linturi in the last Parliament and the whole circus of Teachers Service Commission (TSC) started in the last Parliament, particularly in the wee hours of the night when we used to debate. I do not want to go into it, but the issue of statutes and the resolution of the House is under the Attorney-General (AG) and of course our Legal Department. From tomorrow, we are going to sort it out and come back. But that was the genesis of the question. Hon. Opiyo asked if the AG ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, before Bills come to Parliament, they go through a number of stages and the final custodian of Bills, for your information, is the AG of the Republic of Kenya. It is him who passes them to Parliament. Therefore, Government Bills come through the stakeholders, the Kenya Law Reform Commission, the CIC, Cabinet, AG and back to Parliament. I am sure that this is part of the learning process for some of our colleagues. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Kathuri raised the issue of the two names and why they were rejected. Hon. Kathuri, I think the ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to read the Statement on behalf of the House Business Committee (HBC) on what is coming up next week. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2), on behalf of the HBC, I rise to give a Statement regarding the business which will be appearing before the House the week beginning Tuesday 25th March, 2014. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the HBC meet on Tuesday this week to give the programme of business of the House. In this regard, the HBC has given priority to debate on the Report of the Joint Sittings of the Departmental ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Chair, if you allow me, the hon. Member for Kibra, the purported Secretary-General of ODM and the hon. Member for Taveta are busy--- view
