  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what we are experiencing today has no precedent in the world. This company went to Malawi, the Government of Malawi was forced to intervene. They went to Uganda and the same happened. They went to the Democratic Republic of Congo and the same happened. Finally they went to Sri Lanka. view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Airtel! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the benefit of the House, in Sri Lanka when they discovered that this was a problem, they moved in by introducing a floor price. They said the wars can go on but they can only go this far down. They put the floor price. Airtel in Sri Lanka went to the Court of Appeal and lost. They then went to the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, which said it must protect jobs and investments by the locals. I am going this route because I want to ask the Prime Minister, who is purely a ... view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I am about to ask my question, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is important that I build it. On 24th January 2011, Dr. Ndemo had the following to say to the Government. The Permanent Secretary, the Ministry of Information and Communications strongly opposed the price wars saying they did not make business sense, and added that he had asked the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) to look into the issue. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) also expressed fears that the price wars might lead to reduction in tax collection. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is this that politicians know to ... view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question is, why can the Government not listen to the technocrats and put a floor price, so that these price wars are controlled? view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I stand to oppose this amendment. The reason for that is because the events that have been going on in the country are issues that tend to assume ethnic dimensions and take political parties’ poise and shape. Going by the experience we had with the Committee of Experts, during the constitutional review process, the presence of foreign judges was very stabilizing. I do not see any reason why we cannot benefit from that experience and invite foreign judges to be part of our Vetting Board. view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have risen on a point of order because I have realised that if I am not allowed to speak, I will have failed to point out a constitutional issue addressed by this amendment. I beg that you allow me just one minute. view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my point is that the Minister, who is a lawyer, knows very well that one of the reasons as to why Kenyans supported the new Constitution overwhelmingly was the Bill of Rights. So, if we provide in this Bill an opportunity for the right to serve as a judge to be taken away arbitrarily without even recognising the fact that on that Board we do not have a professional psychiatrist who is able to assess that judge, we will be taking away a human right of the particular judge. That judge’s human rights are protected in ... view
  • 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, because the Minister is shaking his head, apparently in disapproval of what I am saying, allow me to quote to him the Constitution. Article 20 says as follows:- “20. (1)The Bill of Rights applies to all laws and binds all state organs and all persons. (2) Every person shall enjoy the rights and fundamental freedoms in the Bill of Rights to the greatest extent consistent with the nature of the right or fundamental freedom.” view
