• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I think we are legislating here in good faith. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: The Constitution itself has created a PSC. Do not look at the people in the current PSC or the past PSC as an indicator for the future. We are creating a law not just for today, but for the future. We are renewing all these bodies. The PSC is already involved in the recruitment of other panels. So, I would like to urge that we look at the institution and not the people. If the PSC has a problem, we need to clean it. But by going to the Kenya Anti-Corruption Advisory Board whose job is separate, then we are ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order to just say that we have so many amendments that are currently on. We are debating them even before they have been moved; I would like to urge that we move in a systematic way. I know people are getting tired, but let us move in a systematic way, so that we know which amendment we are talking on. More importantly, even as we bring these amendments, I would like to urge that we also respect that the new Constitution is very clear on the ... view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, allow me to, on behalf of the Government, record thanks to the Members of this House for having stayed this long to demonstrate that this is a working Parliament, and is not an impediment to passing of Bills to implement the Constitution.

• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to, first of all, thank the Committee for the work it has done under very special circumstances, where the matter had to be referred to the Constitution Implementation and Oversight Committee (CIOC) from the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. They undertook their work, did the report afresh and brought the amendments. The Minister has also brought his amendments. Several Members have also brought their amendments. One of the things that came up, and I believe that matter was even discussed extensively in the House Business Committee (HBC), was that a notice ... view
• 26 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other thing that I would like to confirm is that the Government is as committed as Parliament in terms of getting all these things moving forward. That is why the matter was scheduled to appear on the Order Paper today. That is why even in the HBC we agreed that the notice of those amendments be given to Members as of yesterday. When you look at all those things, you will appreciate the gravity of the matter. So, it is not an issue of inconvenience. It is for the better of this country. I ... view
