6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the adoption of this report. As I do so, I also take this opportunity to congratulate the Chairman who has spoken before me very eloquently on the good work that his Committee has done. It is time, as hon. Members of this House, we stood firm and protected the very Constitution which we swore to defend and protect. We should stand firm. If you look at this report, you will find that there was clear violation of the Constitution. This is particularly Article 232(2). The Cabinet ...

law. I feel very encouraged to hear the Leader of Majority Party say very clearly, despite representing the Jubilee Government, that he will never allow anybody to contravene the Constitution and break the laws that we protect dearly. I support the adoption of this report and encourage the other Members to do so. Thank you very much.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, hon. Speaker, Sir. My conscience tells me that I cannot sit and listen when my very good friend and a man I respect a lot, hon. Jimmy Angwenyi violates the Constitution. Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is this House under Articles 152 and then 153 of the Constitution that gave the procedure as to how a Cabinet Secretary will be appointed, nominated by the President and approved by the House. Again, the same Article 153 and our Standing Order No.66 give this House the procedure to remove a Cabinet Secretary. Further, under 95, every Member sitting ...

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek clarification from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. The Statement as brought by hon. Abdullswamad before this House is very sensitive and it seeks explanation on the mysterious deaths of Kenyans who are being killed extra-judicially without explanations at all. Even to add more on to that is the fact that persons who are being killed are religious leaders in their rights. Those leaders are killed on their way home when they are from preaching; either from the Mosque or the Church. Hon. Temporary ...

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, this is a very serious report. The hon. Member said, “Hon. Members, let us walk together.” We need to be told where and how. I said earlier that Parliament is supreme. Under Article 95 we have a cardinal responsibility to oversee the Executive. This report talks about the Executive.

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this very important Motion. Indeed, in modern day society, violence against anybody should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. More so, when the violence is in the nature of rape, it even makes it more painful and indeed more humiliating thus calling for the strongest possible condemnation and action recommended in the toughest measures. Cases of gender violence and rape appear to be increasing in Kenyan society for reasons ranging from deviation from the societal norms that existed in African cultures in the past. These kind of actions were, ...

6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
there is a gap in our law enforcement, particularly in our police force. Some hon. Members who spoke before me said that the girl- child once abused or raped undergoes a lot of humiliation for her to prove that she was indeed harmed. Teachers who are associated with defilement or impregnating their students should be punished. It is something that is happening quite a lot. A girl-child who has unfortunately been raped or has been impregnated should be allowed to resume classes. In the ongoing exams, we have had cases of head teachers denying innocent children an opportunity to sit ...

5 Nov 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to join the Chair and my good friend. My looks are not very far from his looks; so he needs to go to the mirror. I want to make some very key statements. One, under this system Bills go through a conveyor belt. There is input from CIC, Cabinet Secretary and stakeholders. After that the Bill comes to Parliament, it is looked at by our Legal Department. From there, it goes to the Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party and then it is signed. Then the Bill comes to the House and it is laid ...
