• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have three arms of Government. We have Parliament that creates laws as its primary role. We have Parliament that oversees the Executive branch and in certain conditions may even override the Executive. We have the Executive whose main role is to execute the policies of the state, and to do the implementation of the recommendations by Parliament. Finally, we have the Judiciary which is to interpret the law and adjudicate the disputes brought before it. With this kind of Constitution that we say is one of the best in Africa and in the world, ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, equality of opportunity in matters of employment, the right to freedom of speech and expression, the right of assembly, the right to association are all that we want the Supreme Court to uphold. All the three arms of Government are the product of our Constitution, and our own basic laws; their functions are inter-related. They act as checks and balances. At any given time each branch of this Government will confine itself to its authority, and at no time will one branch usurp the powers o f the other. We look at the Supreme Court ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Among the functions of the Supreme Court will be that it must interpret and expound even on all legislations and enactments brought before it. The Supreme Court, in its own jurisdiction will say that: “What Parliament has passed is in contradiction with the Constitution and it cannot be law”. That benefit of doubt was not there before; the role of the Supreme Court will be parallel to the role played by the High Court and the Court of Appeal. However, the Supreme Court will have powers superseding the powers of those other courts. It will have power to relook and ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, again, the Supreme Court has the powers to check both the Presidency and Parliament, which we never had before. The Supreme Court is also the final judge in all cases involving the interpretation of the Constitution. I want to say it here that for the first time, we have players. The Supreme Court is like a referee that will look at the Executive, the Legislature and all those who are playing in the football field and give directions. It will give chance to the Kenyan people to know how the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary itself, ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. With the establishment of the Supreme Court, I think we have come of age. We are sure that no Kenyan will be discriminated against. No Judge in his own right will give a judgment that has ethnic overtones, is influenced by corruption and very discriminatory. The people of this country will know that they have a point of reference. They will know that there is a place they will go to that will give a fair judgment as per the Constitution of ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, this amendment, in my opinion, is not relevant. The Fifth Schedule of this Bill covers all these. If you look at (d) of the same, it talks about Article 97(7). That covers it. So, it is not necessary. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, Sir. Have we put the law where--- Under Mr. Abdikadir’s amendment, it was “a”, “b” and “c.” So, have we disposed of the three or have we--- view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Sir. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose the further amendment of the amendment. We have been sitting here for the last five or six hours building consensus. This august House has adopted the first review, plus the Report of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. If you look at Section 27 of the Constitution, there are some constituencies that have been protected. If we open up and deny that the first review has not taken place, then some of our 27 Members of Parliament will lose their seats. We have to go by the law. view
