• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that advocates at the Bungoma High Court have been boycotting court sessions since 2011 in protest of the shortage of judges at the court? (b) What measures will the Minister take to arrest the situation which is denying Kenyans access to justice? view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I cannot attempt to overrule the Chair. This Question is so practical. In Bungoma as we speak now there is no justice being dispensed. The Assistant Minister has been saying: “I will come tomorrow, I will come the following day.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have a lot of power where you are seated. I request that at the very worst, we do it this afternoon, the reason being that I will be in Kigali on Tuesday and Wednesday. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is my third term. I have won elections three times. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, allow me to revisit this matter on Thursday because I will be travelling in from Kigali on Wednesday. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Chair satisfied that the Assistant Minister is answering this Question when, in fact, in part (c) he was asked what urgent measures he is going to take to solve the problem of water shortage but in his answer he is saying that they have agreed on a programme of rationing water supply. If he has gone there to ration water supply, is he solving the problem of water shortage? Is the Chair satisfied that he is answering the Question? view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to add my voice to the point of order by hon. Abdikadir. All that he is asking for and in accordance with the Standing Orders is for the Chair to re-arrange the Orders. If you will find that it is difficult for you to push until afternoon, I want to propose in my point of order that you re-arrange it such that we start with the Committee of the Whole House and then at the end--- view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for that observation, but allow me to make the following comment. Kenyans must know that we are in this crisis because the Government refused to act in time. The same Kenyans must know that this Special Sitting was actually initiated by Back Benchers. The Government never wanted this. Members of the public must also know that this matter on land which we are carefully mid-wifing so that all Kenyans are involved is the very reason why we have had tribal clashes in this country. It is the very reason why we had the MAU ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is the time for us to bring everybody on board. Is it purely by coincidence that today in the morning any matter touching on the Constitution has been carefully dodged by the Government? The question I had on the High Court is because we were expecting that the new Chief Justice would now be spreading judges equally across the Counties. However, because this is not the intention of the Government, the Minister concerned has come here and played to public gallery. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, finally, so that we are not misunderstood, we want it to be on record, for sure that the Minister, some of them extremely senior, who like talking to Kenyans during funerals--- This is the time they should come and address this matter because over the weekend you will hear them talking about the issue of land and how they are committed to implementing the new Constitution and how they think that the people who voted “No” are not fit to drive the new Constitution. This is the time for them to say these things on this Floor ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I just wanted to augment his argument but having so ruled, I cannot go ahead. view
