• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is the issue of the people to be in the advisory committee. As my colleague has pointed out, most of them are civil servants. This one should be looked into, so that we can have people from the private sector. We have very good brains out there who could be incorporated in this, and they may have knowledge that could assist in the provision of these services. view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: We must also be very careful that once we pass this Bill and go to the exploration of oil, we should not go the direction which most investors, contractors or other petroleum producing countries or superpowers would like to take us. We should not let them come and mortgage our country. We should have this law put in place with a view that it will safeguard the interests of the communities, which are within particular places where oil is discovered. It should safeguard the interest of the county where that discovery has been made. It should also safeguard the interests ... view
• 22 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I support this Bill with a strong view that we have to critically examine it; once we go to Committee of the Whole House, we should have amendments. I will personally bring amendments which will strengthen this Bill further; as a framework, I strongly recommend it. It is a good Bill for our country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the amendment by the Hon. Member. I strongly believe this one will make people who have to come in front of House committees to know that it is serious business and they should not take it lightly. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. At the outset, I appreciate the work that the Leader of the Majority Party is doing by trying to push these constitutional Bills for which we sought extension. We should struggle to finalise these Bills before the short extension that was given by the National Assembly expires. I support this Bill because it covers a lot of issues. It promotes precise and expeditious resolution of small cases. The number of cases in Kenya, whether small or big, is so high compared to the number of courts ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: versed in the community’s problems. That is because small cases will always arise between people of the same community, village or clan or between relatives. Therefore, we need an adjudicator who is versed in the issues which affect a particular people so that he has some background information which cannot be measured by the level of education, but by the level of understanding of that community. I feel five years’ experience is too much to ask of an adjudicator. We can have an adjudicator with one or two years’ experience in the practise of law, but has the background of ... view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: There is the issue of swearing and it is quite tricky. We need a window. There are communities whereby, if you swear by your fathers, clansmen or your namesake, they find it more binding than swearing by the Bible. There are people who swear by the Bible in courts and when they sit down, they say that the Bible belongs to the white man. They believe in the traditional way of swearing. The manner in which we swear in the small claims courts must also be limited to the traditional ways of the people. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I can see my time is up and so, I will say that this Bill will go a long way to ease congestion in our courts and give justice within the shortest time possible. It will come up with answers to questions and issues in a more applicable way; which will be satisfactory and acceptable to our communities who are not well versed with the court procedures in our current situation. view
• 13 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I stand to support this Bill, which I believe will bring some sanity and ease problems encountered in our courts of law. It will be a good indicator to the litigants who go to seek justice in various levels of our courts. It should be accepted that any process in court is an expensive exercise. There are a lot of limitations where litigants go to seek justice from very far away where their matters are heard. With the magistrates getting a leeway or a window to ... view
