• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: the Cabinet Secretary responsible for matters relating to the Judiciary for the Executive. He should, therefore, be questioned how he could sit there and let all this madness go on. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I thank Hon. Gumbo for a great job well done and tell Hon. Chepkong’a that I, as an individual, and all those who spent days trying to think naively that giving funds to an institution would result in a stronger Judiciary where everyone would be expected to have fair administration of justice, have been proven wrong.

The war is about controlling procurement, and not about improving the judicial systems in Kenya. view
• 16 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: I look forward to Hon. Chepkong’a bringing an amendment to stop any member of the LSK sitting in the JSC from practising in court, so that we can reduce the number of lawyers in the JSC. It is not just lawyers and judges who serve in the Judiciary. We should also have non- judicial staff represented in the JSC.

• 10 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In supporting this Procedural Motion, I want to highlight the fact that the House does not amend sessional papers. The leadership of this House and the Committee on Procedure and House Rules need to look into this matter. We do not amend sessional papers and yet we give them the authority of being passed by the House. Who takes responsibility for sessional papers that we pass in this House that have typos and incorrect information? Therefore, regarding these sessional papers, whereas I agree with the timing, the onus is with the House and the ... view
