17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, if any judicial officer, witness, litigant or any citizen - including journalists - who their daily work is in the corridors of justice fall victim where a judge says they have done this or that, the kinds of penalties and offences are well documented. If a judge accuses a litigant or a member of the public of attempting to influence a witness, disobeying an order or direction of a court or dismissing a servant because he has no evidence on behalf of a party or a judicial process, this Bill in Clause 5 sets out various offences and ...

17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
Part VI contains miscellaneous provisions. It gives courts power to revise an order made by a judicial officer and review it on its own. The schedule specifies the times. It is a small Bill and it is good for the country because of the fundamental principles found in the Bill of Rights where citizens, journalists or any member of the public can enjoy the freedoms of conscience, expression, assembly, association and political participation which are inherent in our Constitution and, at the same time, avoid contempt of court.

17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the many Members who, this afternoon, contributed to this very important piece of proposed legislation known as the Contempt of Court Bill. The primary objective of this Bill is to define what contempt of court is. Secondly, it is to limit the powers of the court in terms of meting punishment for contempt of court and, further, to provide penalties for the offence of contempt of court. As Hon. Maanzo said, by nature your phone can ring in court and it can land you in problems. You can decide to ...

17 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker we are hardly five Members and it is not fair for us to go to the next agenda. It is better we wait for the next Sitting because it is an important Bill and I am sure it is late in the day. It is good also that we respect the provisions of the Standing Orders in as far as quorums are concerned. However, because it is now 6.00 p.m., I wish to seek the indulgence of my good friend, Hon. Wamunyinyi. I know he has serious issues to raise concerning this Bill. We can start ...

16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
not tabled any report of this very important document. The county governments are of great concern to us. We want to know how their budget implementation review is. Hon. Speaker, I really want you to order that the Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade calls a session specifically for members who have issues, after we study this Report so that we face the Controller of Budget one on one in a session where Members can ask individual questions about their counties, and finally, a report is brought to the House for tabling. Hon. Speaker, I need your guidance.

On a point of order. Hon. Speaker, I want to thank Hon. Keynan for that withdrawal. However, through you, I want to ask the Commission to ensure that this firm is not awarded the contract since the National Assembly - this Chamber - has not appointed them through the approval of the Report. I read the Report and there is indication that even as we debate this Motion, already this firm has a contract. That is what I wanted to raise concerning those issues substantively. However, now that he has withdrawn the Motion, I want you to direct that the ...

16 Nov 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I would like to state that I support the Committees’ recommendation that the Parliamentary Service (Senate Monitoring and Evaluation) (Procedure for Management of Funds) Regulation be annulled. This House must respect the Constitution and the rules that govern this country. I want to thank the Chairman of the Select Committee on Delegated Legislation for doing a very good work. I really wanted the Senators to get the Kshs1 billion. I do not want to seek clarifications from the Chairman because he has tabled a Report and I would like to ask ...
