• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: With those words, I want to thank the House for the indulgence so far, and I beg to move. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this important Bill and to recognize the fact that we are basically creating the structure of an existing institution and formalizing it. It was created by a Gazette Notice and it has proved to be useful to the Kenyan people. With the rights that have been put within our new Constitution, it is important that we give the people the legal vehicle where they can go for redress should the need arise, as we move on, so that people can realize the full fruits of the new Constitution. This Bill has been ... view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. As I contribute to the Bill, let me at the very outset recognize the contribution that has been made by the Members between yesterday and today. We have surprised ourselves that after we pass this one, this will be the ninth Bill in two days. It is a record, not just for this House, but on a group or scale. I do not think that other Parliaments have done the kind of work that we have done. For the Members, had we even got another Bill on the Order Paper, ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am encouraged by the mood in the House; the commitment to do justice to the Kenyan people as has been so well articulated by hon. Members who have spoken in support of the need to extend time, so that we can have the time that we require to scrutinize these Bills.

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: You may recall that last week, this House gave authority for the reduction of the publication period because of the need to fast-track debate and the passage of these Bills that are relevant to the reform of the Police Service. There was overwhelming support that this matter should be concluded as fast as possible. This Motion seeks to facilitate the fast-tracking of the commencement of debate on one of the critical Bills. This is listed as Order No.17, which is The National Police Service Bill, which Members will recall has implications of constitutional nature in terms of the appointment of ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had discussions at the committee level with the Committee on Administration and National Security and the Chairman was very supportive of fast-tracking this. I can see the Chairman is in the House and I would like to ask him to confirm that the committee is willing that we get the debate started. By the time we get to the Committee Stage, we can have the benefit of the House having debated it today, the committee having looked at it and then we can conclude the Bill as soon as possible. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I do not need to speak much on this. The matter is straightforward and I would wish to request the Chairman of the Committee on Administration and National Security, hon. Kapondi--- view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It does appear the Motion is overtaken by events. Can I move the next one? view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I happily withdraw this Motion. I wish to apologize to the House for having taken that time on that matter. view
