28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
This Bill is only trying to rise to the occasion following the judgement given by the Supreme Court in candid words - both the majority and minority judgements. Please, let us get and read the judgment by Njoki Ndung’u, Jackson Ojwang’, the Chief Justice and the others who were on the Supreme Court Bench. The majority judgement stated that Parliament must rise to the occasion and make certain changes to the laws which govern elections. The problem we have is about transmission. I really want to tell the country that I am only supposed to move a Procedural Motion. This ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
This Bill is correcting the judgment. Parliament’s function in legislation is to clean up pieces of legislation. In the Maina Kiai Case, and there are very renowned lawyers here, it negated certain provisions of the law in the Election Laws. What this Bill is trying to do is the clean-up. What are these guys talking about Hon. Deputy Speaker? I was very happy last night. The media reported exactly what this Bill is all about. I want to really agree with Hon. Olago Aluoch. This Bill will cool down the temperatures; this Bill will bring us together and this Bill ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
The problem we are in today is big. Our economy is suffering. Our people are polarised. The country is divided. We are going to an election on the 26th October 2017. How do we bring our people together? We bring our people together by putting the right laws and making it very clear. That is what this Bill is doing. So, there is nothing mischievous. Do not say something which is not in this Bill. I dare anybody. I am ready to go to any television talk show from this The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for ...

minute and challenge it. This Bill is not talking about the Supreme Court or the independence of the Judiciary. The Supreme Court gave a ruling. We in Jubilee are the first people, led by our party leader, who came to the country and said: “We accept the verdict. Let us go back to elections”. We respect Judge Maraga. We respect all the six judges. We have no bad intention. There is no clause on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in this Bill. There is no clause on the Supreme Court. There is no clause on the Judiciary. This is about ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
So, I ask my colleagues to help me reduce this; we move the country forward; we walk together and we understand each other. I am sure there are people who want to introduce something that has been left out in this Bill at the Committee stage and at the stakeholders’ meeting. Let us do it and make sure all we are doing is to make sure the election is done in accordance with the Constitution and in a very clear method so that while the transmission will be there, a manual system or physical presentation of documents is provided. I ...

28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly:
The East African Court of Justice is established under Article 9 of the East African Community (EAC). Article 27(2) of that treaty requires member states like Kenya to recognise the existence of the East Africa Court of Justice (EACJ). It will have the original, appellate, human rights and other jurisdictions as will be decided by the Council. Further, under the same Article, the EAC partner states agreed to conclude the Protocol to operationalise the extended jurisdiction of the Court, recognising the critical role it plays in regional integration, following the establishment of the East African Common Customs Union, the East ...
