• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I have had a chance to sit in this Chamber and I have heard Hon. Members “kind of” give you what I will call ‘ultimatums’ that you must now give a determination or that you must give a written ruling on something. I have perused the Standing Orders and I think that is not parliamentary; that a Member would rise to “kind of” give an order to the Speaker. Hon. Speaker, maybe, I would like to seek your intervention so that we would be reading from the same script. Is it in order for hon. Members to be giving you ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this important Bill that has come to this National Assembly. I will particularly address myself to Clauses 6 and 8 of this Bill. Clause 6 is very clear about natural justice, that you do not condemn anybody unheard. Once many of our administrators get into authority in this country, they act with an iron fist. They do not act for Kenyans. They imagine that once you are an administrator, that is the end of the road and you are the best thing that ever happened to this country. I want to talk about ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: My little worry is that we are saying that a tribunal, or a competent authority, may review an administrative action. This should be left solely to the High Court. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Clause 8 of the Bill talks of instances in, and the reasons for, which you can approach a tribunal or the High Court to have an administrative action set aside.There is a list of almost 10 of them. Some of them are talking about when such an officer acts in bias, oversteps their mandates or gives a ruling on material that was not before them when they so acted. I wonder why the issue of corruption has not been included as a reason as to why you can move to a tribunal, or the High Court, to have that set ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: This piece of legislation again gives the High Court or tribunal the right to extend time. If you realise that you are not happy with the decision of an administrator, you can seek an extension of time from the High Court, even when the six months have lapsed. With those remarks, I support this Bill. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to make my contribution on the Presidential Address that the President delivered before this august House. To begin with, I applaud the President, one, for giving a public apology for sins that were committed either by this Government or by previous governments. view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: It takes a lot of courage for the President of this Republic to issue such an apology. We know that it was a requirement in the TJRC Report that the President of this country issues that apology. So, I commend him for that. Secondly, the President touched on a number of issues, including that of security in this country. He said that his Government has provided about 2,400 vehicles to the security personnel to improve the security situation. I wish to urge the police and other security agencies to make use of those security vehicles and gadgets to afford us ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Touching on the issue of electricity, the President was very candid and clear. The Government has installed electricity to about 18,000 schools. About 3,000 schools are remaining. It is hard to imagine that much of that power is, indeed, generated within my county and, more so, within the area of Mbeere North. But quite a number of my schools do not have electricity. Secondly, shopping centres and towns in Mbeere North do not have power and the people are asking: “What is the social corporate responsibility of this Government to the people of Mbeere?” The Government is not connecting them ... view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Touching on the list that was annexed to the President‟s Speech - that is the supposedly corrupt people - I have gone through it and much of it is about allegations 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
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: and, more so, on Members of Parliament. The cardinal principle of justice is that you cannot condemn anybody unheard. Therefore, when somebody goes to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and gives a report that so-and-so is corrupt, and that person is not given a chance to exonerate himself or herself, and the EACC sends that report to the President and it is splashed all over, I do not think that you are according those persons natural justice. About the people stepping aside, I would support that bit to the extent that those that are in Executive power like the ... view
