27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, we are at the tail-end of the 11th Parliament and procedure is becoming an issue. Issues can only be raised after the Speaker has put the Question.

We cannot have our children in Class One being digital and our judges using shorthand. That is not the right thing. So, we need to do an automation of the courts.

27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
The Supreme Court, in which Philomena will sit, is composed of seven wise men and women. I will be happy if this House agrees with me that all the communities, ethnic and religious diversity of our country is represented there. Those of us who live in the eastern part of Kenya like my friend, the Leader of the Minority Party, are represented. The pastoralists must be represented by Lenaola and the Muslims by Judge Mohammed Ibrahim. My friends from the Lake and Western regions must be represented by Smokin Wanjala and Dr. Ojwang’. This is the Kenya we want to ...

We represent the people. The litigants who go court, those who are in jail, we are their Members of Parliament. Lawyers who go to court like Ahmednassir, I am his Member of Parliament and even judges including Philomena. I am sure she comes from a constituency in Makueni County, but I am not sure whether it is Hon. Maanzo’s constituency. I understand it is Hon. Makenga’s constituency. We want Judges Philomena and Chief Justice Maraga to reclaim back the Judiciary from activism. The Judiciary we passed under the new Constitution led by my very good friend, Hon. Willy Mutunga, to ...

together with Justice Maraga. We should stand with them and make sure the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs gives them all the necessary support and resources, so that if the Judiciary, Parliament and the Executive work well, Kenya will be a good place to live in. This afternoon, I want to ask my colleagues to also pray for Philomena because we saw what Nancy Baraza went through and also what Lady Justice Rawal went through because of her age. She never left that office in an honourable way. Philomena is a Catholic and she must get the clergy ...

27 Oct 2016 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Senate must read the Constitution. They cannot be “squatters” in functions that do not belong to them. NTSA is a national body. It is just like the National Police Service. They have their officers in the village on the ground on all roads. So, I support the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing for diligently seeing these “squatters” called the Senate, who do not read the law. When it comes to mediation, we will have a strong team. I support. We must protect the Constitution. The Fifth Schedule of the Constitution documents the ...
