• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Give me time; this is a House of debate! Secondly, there is no affidavit and he never appeared before the Committee. I am going to analyze the issue one by one, if the Chair allows me. Article 245 (4) of the Constitution reads in part:- “---no person may give a direction to the Inspector-Generalwith respect to – (a) the investigation and any particular offence or offences” It is very clear. I have looked at this report to get the petition or an affidavit by the Inspector-General, I have not got it. I asked whether the IG appeared before the Committee ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, if at all the IG was directed, Article 245 is clear. It says: - “no person may give a direction---” “Direct” and “opinion” are two different things. In any case, if the IG was given direction, he violated the Constitution and for that matter he must be on his way home. We need to know whether he was given direction and if he took action; or it was an opinion. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, Article 245 is very clear and it is written here. This is a House of debate; it is not a House of sycophancy, tribal or whatever it is. We are legislators here 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
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: and Article 95 is very clear. It says we are here to legislate, represent and play oversight role. Hon. Speaker, Article 226(2) grants national oversight role over public spending by public institutions. We can only discuss the expenditure by looking at the auditor’s report. When you look at this report, there is no annex of the report of the Auditor- General, who can only tell us whether anything was violated. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, hon. Irungu is my very good friend. Unfortunately, when I was talking he was not listening. A good leader must be able to listen to others when they are speaking. When I was making a clarification hon. Irungu was not listening. I want to clarify that the petitioner is not Irungu. The petitioner is Riungu Nicholas Mugambi. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, on the matter that we are discussing, we are talking about Judiciary and the Judicial Service Commission. The JSC is there to enable the functioning of the Judiciary. So, in terms of the threshold I want to say this: The functioning of the JSC has a very strong positive correlation in terms of the success of the Judiciary. So, on a matter like this, the threshold must be established and we must set a precedent. When you are talking of removing commissioners, it is not an issue to joke around with because here we are talking proudly ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. This is a petition of someone who is making allegations. The allegations must be proven beyond any reasonable doubt and especially if this person never appeared before the Committee. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you give me time and protect me from interference, I will prosecute my ideas here. I started by saying that there is a clear strong positive correlation. The terms are “strong positive correlation”. What I meant is that the functioning of the JSC has a very positive correlation with the Judiciary. JSC has 11 commissioners. Here we are talking about six commissioners. If the six are removed, we are going to remain with five. Again, when it comes to the petition, we have different commissioners. It will have been in order to have strong witnesses against ... view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am not going to point. You know very well I cannot threaten you. The issue is that this is a House of debate and we must have facts in place. The issue is that I oppose this and I justify why; it is because we do not know the petitioner. He never appeared before this Committee. We know he is a Kenyan but we need to know his identity. view
• 7 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me I am about to finish this. The Auditor-General’s report is missing. view
