6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, on the issue of KPRL, you remember you sent it to two joint committees after I raised substantial issues of loss of money and investment. Hon. Keynan, the Chair of Public Investments Committee (PIC) and hon. Kamau were to start investigations next week. Therefore, I request my good friend, hon. Omar Mwinyi to be patient, we can make sure that those two Committees as directed by hon. Speaker, will give the House a very comprehensive report on the whole saga of KPRL; your issues, mine and the rest that came.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I stand, notwithstanding hon. Olago Aluoch’s comment, to supoprt this report. From the outset, I want to make it very clear that the procedure of removing a Cabinet Secretary is provided in Standing Order No.66. Those going around saying that the report will ultimately remove a Cabinet Secretary are misleading people. If you read Standing Order No.66, it gives you the route. The Standing Order also provides how to remove a sitting President, a Deputy President and a Cabinet Secretary. I want to bring that fact to the Members. Secondly, this report of the Committee ...

did not seek the opinion of the State Law Office. More so, on the face of this Gazette Notice, there is no provision either in the Constitution or in the Lands Act which has been cited creating a position which does not exist; appointing a civil servant to a position in whose creation due process was not followed. So, on the face of it, the Committee on Delegated Legislation saw that it was irregular. The same Cabinet Secretary panicked and revoked the same Gazette Notice. We are not in a banana State. We are in a country where in 2010, ...

Hon. Speaker, again, it is this House that created a constitutional body called the National Land Commission. I had the privilege, with the support of the people of Dujis, to serve in the last Parliament and played a role in the formation of the National Land Commission. Again, it is the Tenth Parliament in which I had the pleasure to serve, that approved the commissioners of the National Land Commission led by a very able chair, Professor Swazuri.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, again in this report, the Cabinet Secretary usurped the powers of the National Land Commission. It is unacceptable. The Constitution is very clear. Article 95 gave powers to this Parliament. Article 96 gave powers to the Senate. The Senate cannot usurp the powers of the National Assembly neither can the National Assembly usurp the powers of the Senate. That is why the Constitution gave borderlines.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, the Departmental Committee on Lands invited, and these are our minutes, the said Cabinet Secretary and if I quote the Deputy President when they were appointing the Cabinet Secretaries, he said: “We are not appointing politicians.” So, if there are politicians in the Cabinet, then Kenya has changed. The role of the Executive is defined in the Constitution. The role of the Legislature is also defined in the Constitution.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
So, hon. Speaker, if you look at this report by 38 members of this House led by the Chairs, hon. Alex Mwiru and hon. Cheptumo, some of us will stand to the last minute to defend the Constitution. When I was coming to the House, and I want to go on record, a Member of this House told me: “Hon. Duale, do not debate this matter because there is some adverse information about you.” I want to challenge that and if you ask me to say who it is, it is hon. Maanzo. I told him: “I have a history. ...

today. He is a prominent surveyor. He can go and survey the expansive constituency of hon. Nkaisserry. This country and this House will be divided. There will be those who will stand with the truth and defend the Constitution and those who will go with the laws of impunity.

Hon. Speaker, when hon. Wandayi brought an amendment yesterday people threatened him that he must withdraw it. We must defend this Constitution. If we defend this Constitution, Kenya will go very far.
