• 17 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much my Chairlady and Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the nomination of Dr. Mwinzi to be the Principal Secretary for Department on Vocational and Technical Training. I sat through the vetting process of that lady. She was articulate and to the point. I believe she is the right candidate for the nomination to that docket. I urge her to look into the issue of unpaid teachers in that department. There are about 1,274 trainers who have gone unpaid for about a year. So, when she gets on her desk, she should work round the ... view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I just want to say something on what Hon. Chris Wamalwa has said. The issue he has raised is about the security of Members of Parliament. I have seen those people he is calling “boys” and “girls.” That is a derogatory term in reference to those officers. Whether they are from the NYS or the GSU, they are well-labelled. They have put on orange reflector jackets clearly marked “Parliament Security”. In what statute is it written that Parliament must only be guarded by GSU officers or regular police officers? What we need is security. All of us ... view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for giving me this chance. Hon. Langat was very passionate in his thoughts and expressions. However, I heard him say that once the President brings his Memorandum to this House and we are not able to overturn it, then we are confirming that we are fools. Was that gentleman in order to call us fools? The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the HANSARD is very clear; it captured him on that bit. You have the power to order for the HANSARD to be produced. Those are the words that Hon. Langat used in reference to Hon. Members. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am in agreement with my colleagues. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to contribute to this Court of Appeal (Organization and Administration) Bill. Over the last one week, we have looked at the Small Claims Court Bill, the Magistrates’ Courts Bill and the High Court (Organization and Administration) Bill. This shows the level at which this arm of Government is proceeding to enhance Articles of the Constitution. Once this Bill is passed, I am sure it is going to enhance the independence of the Judiciary. As many people may know, the Judiciary is one arm of the Government but, as we ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: matter of the International Criminal Court (ICC) came in, we have now seen that you can appear in court by tele-conferencing. We have adopted this mode of practise in the Court of Appeal. It means that if a litigant or their counsel is unable to attend a session, say in Nairobi, then we can have a tele-conference where matters can be canvassed without appearing in person in that particular court. What that means is that it is going to cut down on cost and time. That will enhance the efficiency of that court. Automation of the court is in Clause ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is also the issue of the president who, in consultation with the Chief Justice, can have various stations of the court. As things stand today, the Court of Appeal is stationed in Nairobi. They only have to move out in circuits to Nyeri, Kisumu, Mombasa and any other stations that the Chief Justice may prescribe. But, this time round, we are going to have permanent stations where the judges will be stationed. This means that litigants will cut down on expenses because they will not have to move, for example, all the way from Mbeere North to come to ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill says that the court can establish itself into various divisions, like the criminal division, commercial division and the family division. Some of the judges who are going to sit in that court have specialised in certain lines of jurisprudence before they became judges - when they were either magistrates or litigating advocates. If somebody had acquired a certain degree of competence in a certain area and the Court of Appeal is split into various divisions, such a member can sit in such a division. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I support this Bill. view
