• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at Article 27(4) under the Bill of Rights, it says that the State shall not discriminate--- It should not discriminate on ethnic grounds. The hallmark of any ethnic group is the language and culture. Let us go to Article 44, under the sub-heading, Languages and Culture under the Constitution. If you look at Article 7, it is the responsibility of this Constitution and the State to promote my language as hon. Duale. Article 44 says every person has the right to use the language and participate in the cultural life of the ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to give a free advice to my friend, hon. Kioni, that interpretation of the Constitution is the work of the court. We are about to form the Supreme Court. He can take this Motion there in two weeks’ time. I said that under Article 44(1), every person has the right to use a language and to participate in the cultural life of the person’s choice. For instance, it is my constitutional right to use the Somali language in both public and private. Doing so is not a favour. It is the Constitution which ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Article 56 of the Constitution on minorities and marginal groups, of which I am a member, says that it is the role of the state to develop their cultural values, languages and practices. As a member of a minority group from the northern part of this country, for the first time, I am enjoying such rights, which are provided for in this Constitution. That is why 98 percent of the voters in Dujis supported this Constitution. Under this Constitution, the state is given the power to promote my cultural values, including my language. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if my memory serves me right, Bishop Wanjiru opposed this Constitution during the referendum. So, she did not have time to read it. Therefore, I am in the process of helping her to understand the Constitution that she opposed at the referendum. I am not reading the Quran or the Bible. I am reading the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Bishop Wanjiru should get the benefits and the fruits of this Constitution. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am in the National Assembly of the Republic of Kenya, and I oppose this Motion. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand under Standing Order No.47(3) which says: “If the Speaker is of the opinion that (a) that the proposed Motion is contrary to the Constitution without expressively proposing appropriate amendments of the Constitution; or is too long; or is framed in terms which are inconsistent `with the dignity of the House; or contains or implies allegation which the Speaker is not satisfied that the Mover can substantiate; or calls for the commitment of public funds for which no provision is made in the Annual Estimates as adopted by the ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am raising this point of order under Standing Order No.47 that this Motion by Mr. Mbau is in contradiction to the Constitution and that we cannot, as leaders of this country, sit and pass a legislation or Motion that will have far reaching impacts on the cultural heritage and languages of the 47 tribes of this country. I request Dr. Khalwale to second my point of order. view

• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want you to protect me from harassment of the Bishop and the other gracious lady. But my point of order is: The hon. Member has said that the Minister of State for Public Service, in the view of short-terms gains--- The hon. Member must substantiate or apologize and tell us who is giving the gains and what are the gains. That is because this new Constitution protects the minorities, like the Minister of State for Public Service. view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill, and it is coming at a very important time when this country is engaged in a number of reforms, more specifically reforms in the judicial sector. You remember in 2007, Kenyans, and more so the political leadership in this country, reached a stage where they said they could not go to court in order to solve political and election disputes. They were right in the sense that a time had come when the High Court, Court of Appeal and the judicial system in this country was bedeviled with corruption, ... view
