• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. This House must rise to the occasion. Let me be very clear and tell the country that this House rejected the increase in price and imposition of VAT on petroleum products, but the President used his powers under Article 115. Hon. Speaker, that is provided for in the Constitution in order for the President to protect the Constitution from possible excesses of the Legislature. I have looked at other jurisdictions and realised that the former President of the United States of America (USA), Mr. Barrack Obama, during his eight-year tenure, used the veto power ... view
• 21 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: This House cannot just sit and debate. Please, allow a private Member to bring a Bill tomorrow. Allow him a waiver on the pre-publication period so that by Tuesday next week, the Bill goes to the President for assent. If he vetoes it, we raise the two-third majority and disagree with him. Each and every Member here must rise to the occasion. It should not be business as usual. We must reduce the Kshs78 taxation on a litre of petrol and other levies.

• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise on a point of order under Standing Orders83 and 218(2) to seek your guidance on the status of Bills to amend the Constitution that are at different stages of consideration by this House. I would also like to seek guidance on the status of legislative proposals that are pending before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for pre-publication scrutiny. view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I ask this in light of the judgment of the High Court and the Court of Appeal on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020, regarding the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI)on the basic structure. view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: To refresh the mind of the Members in this House, the decisions of the High Court and the Court of Appeal on the BBI Bill, and more so regarding the basic structure of the Constitution is that the basic structure doctrine is applicable in Kenya; that, the basic structure doctrine limits the amendment power set out in Articles 255, 256 and 257 of the Constitution; and that the basic structure of the Constitution can only be altered through primary constituency power, which includes four sequential processes: civic education, public participation, constituency assembly debate and a referendum. Hon. Speaker, as you ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Looking at the proposals for the amendments as contained in the pending Bills and legislative proposals, it is clear that they contain matters that were contained in the BBI Bill, which has since been declared unconstitutional. In light of the judgment of the High Court and the Court of Appeal on the Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Bill 2020, on the basic structure of the Constitution, I seek your guidance on the following: First, what is the effect of the judgement on the various Bills to amend the Constitution, which are at different stages in the House, and legislative proposals which ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Parliament. So, when you want to add the number of women Members of Parliament (MPs) from 47 to 130 plus, it touches on the function of Parliament. The basic structure doctrine, within the reading of the courts, touches on the Bill of Rights, the Judiciary and the Executive. Those four key areas have been cited as the anchors of the basic structure doctrine. Let us consider this so that we do not take this House into a limbo and do a lot of stuff that will not see the light of day. We spent resources, time and energy on this ... view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Please, protect the House. Tell this House that the interpretation of the basic structure doctrine is applicable. This House is not outside the framework of our boundary. Rise to the occasion. Use Standing Order No. 1. Use Standing Order No. 218(2). In preparing these arguments, I have gone into the many Rulings you have made. view
• 1 Sep 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Rachael, when you say it is enough, you do not know how much time I have spent in reading this and studying this. If you did not do that, have your space and sit down. Let me finish. I spent time to study this. It is not something for granted. I am not arguing on pedestrian grounds. My argument is based on law. So, you should give me my space and the Speaker will give you time, if you have at all done a research. Hon. Speaker, I have looked at this matter. I have seen the Bills. I ... view
