• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: I, Muturi Kigano, Member of Parliament for Kangema, I vote yes on behalf of Kangema. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to register my congratulations to His Excellency the President and Baba for their great ingenuity in coming up with the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) Taskforce, which has led to this very first popular initiative Bill under Article 257 of the Constitution. Straightaway, I would like to dispel any illusions that there is a mix in the format or effect between Articles 256 and 257 of the Constitution, 2010. The Bill before this House is exclusively under the provisions of Article 257. It is being formulated pursuant to the sovereign authority under Article 1 ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have looked at the definition of the terms “sovereignty” and “sovereign”. There is a dictionary called Black’s Law Dictionary. Its definition is in line with another authoritative journal from Cornell Law School’s Legal Information Institute. Both surmise sovereignty as a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority. The whole of that is respectively underpinned. It goes on to say that the sovereign is the one who exercises power without limitation. This means when the people of Kenya exercise authority to formulate a Bill under Article 257 of the Constitution, they have no limitations whatsoever. ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Constitution. We must adhere to the ethos that are pertinent thereto. We must be objective and not subjective to ulterior political considerations, interests or leanings when we are dealing with this Bill. We should not create sideshows or trivialise this Bill. What I saw with respect to yesterday were some disruptive matters that do not relate to the tendencies. Senator Linturi had nothing to do with this House. He is in the other Chamber. I am insinuating that if you do not care about national interests, then you have no place in this House because this House is created by ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, protect me from another distracter here. I think he does not want me to make my point. It is the type I was talking about yesterday. With a lot of respect to Hon. Sankok, we must also be mindful of Chapter 6 that the consideration we must have is the mandate that has been bestowed to us by Wanjiku. If we do what some parties are thinking that we can amend the Constitution, we will be subjugating Wanjiku to an inferior role when we are told she is the supreme authority. That will be an attempt to rein ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Now, I want to comment on the institution called Ombudsman. This would be comparing our jurisdiction to others. That institution is widely accepted in the greatest democracies in the Commonwealth in the world. In fact, in India, it goes further to include even private corporations. They are forced to have the ombudsman. Many European nations, Sweden and many others have discovered that this is the in-thing. We must not kill it. Indeed, even us as legislators we have the Ombudsman. The people of Kenya are the ones who watch us. They say: “You will not come back if you do ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I also want to say, more amendments pursuant to Article 257, can be said to be unconstitutional. There is nothing unconstitutional with Wanjiku. Enjoy her power, exercise her power and you cannot say she is unconstitutional. Even when you say the courts would do it, the courts were created by Wanjiku. view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Please, ask me those questions through the Speaker. Do not keep distracting me. His Excellency President Uhuru is a person under Wanjiku. Baba is a person and he is under Wanjiku too. If you try to distract us by saying they used money, listen, money belongs to Wanjiku. All the money. In fact, Wanjiku can do what she wants with her money. There is the Auditor-General. There is everything to audit the use of money by Wanjiku’s agent. It is not a sanction that Wanjiku is limited. In fact, if you read the constitutional history of the American people, the ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: Before I conclude, we have a major Report here. I agree with that Report though there is a dissent. The Joint Committee was united in their approach to the mandate that this House entrusted us with. For the sake of simplicity, we have lifted a page from the Report, which is worthwhile. It contains the issues that the Committee dealt with. If you look at these issues, I will be requesting the Clerk, through you, for the sake of anybody who wants to contribute, to look at the issues that are contained there. It has the genesis of the issues ... view
• 29 Apr 2021 in National Assembly: I will use 30 seconds to thank the House for listening to me and my colleague for extending some distraction. He has now kept quiet. Thank you very much. I beg to support. view
