• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: my colleagues agree with me. In as much as we are trading with neighbours and brothers and sisters in the East African Community, we also need to harmonise our laws so that if something happens in Rwanda, Uganda or Tanzania and Kenyans are involved, they should be treated as equals to their fellow East Africans. If we approve this Motion, the laws which will govern the East African Court of Justice will be harmonised so that people do not feel mistreated when they are tried in either countries of the EAC. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: We have the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) which comes up with these protocols. They are then distributed to the partner states for harmonization and ratification. view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Once they are taken to the mother countries, they are harmonised with the state laws of those countries. Today, we are doing a very noble job of ratifying this one in order to harmonise these laws with our laws. If something has to be decided, we do not have to go and look for the law to apply because these ones will already have been put into place. Equally, we also want to put into place the monetary implications whereby even the National Treasury will be involved so that we make a contribution to the East African Court of Justice ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this Motion and, more so to re-congratulate you because you were topping this list in the 11th Parliament. It is my hope that when we go to the 13th Parliament Hon. Soipan will also get a chance to become Deputy Speaker. Having said that, I will say the list is comprehensive. I know three of the Members of the Chairperson’s Panel. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I did not intend to imply that. Hon. Deputy Speaker, three of the Members who have been appointed are very well known to me because I sat with them in the last Parliament. I happened to meet Mariru yesterday and we interacted a bit. I found that he is a man of substance. He has been a Speaker. Therefore, I see that the list is quite comprehensive. This team will really assist you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, and the substantive Speaker to run the affairs of this House. Having worked with Omulele and Jessica in the last Parliament, they did a ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Once again, I congratulate them and request my fellow colleagues to support them so that we can expedite the mandate of our work in this House. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Before I make my comments, let me congratulate you on your election today. As I said, you are up to the task. I am looking forward to good working relations with you and the rest of your team. I stand to support this Motion that we ratify the same and let our Ministry sign it because we are part and parcel of this process. More so, having our country included would make us benefit more from our great river. When we received this Agreement ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I urge those governments because they have no otherwise. The same arm should be extended to South Sudan and be included in this treaty, so that they can also start contributing to the same. In case we need to use the waters of River Nile, we shall have the leeway and Egypt should not stop us or bring problems and, therefore, I urge other governments to come by. Tanzania was also reluctant, but I know they will be coming in. Uganda is ready to do the same. Therefore, this Motion should go uninterrupted and the Ministry should pay the dues. ... view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Let me start by thanking Hon. Duale for bringing this Adjournment Motion because it is something which is touching on the very nerve of our country, and especially the current situation which is there today. It is not making anything move. Even the old mothers in the rural areas know there is a problem in Kenya. They can feel it and tell something is wrong. view
• 26 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: This is a House of rules. Likewise, this country has a Constitution which we must all respect. We have all sworn to defend it from the President to the common mwananchi . Therefore, we cannot let a few people take advantage of the same Constitution to bring anarchy in this country or to bring things to a standstill. I believe the Supreme Court is the highest law office in this country. The Constitution says when the Supreme Court has ruled on anything, we need to respect the same if you are the aggrieved or the complainant. Therefore, our President agreed ... view
