• 16 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there are issues relating to youth and Kenya was leading even in cooperatives. Kenya has been leading the rest of Africa in structuring the youth and accommodating the youth. You see now the rising cases of xenophobia in South Africa. If there were such debates and people begin to appreciate each other, you will realise that we are all the same and that is why other African states helped South Africa when it was down, it will begin to bring us together as Africa. It will promote trade within the African countries. Already, we have commercial ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to second this Bill. This is a very important Bill. It is filling up the gaps in what was previously very common in courts and caused a lot of pain to many people. A public administrator’s decision could eventually end up in court in terms of what we call judicial review. For a long time, there was no law framing judicial review. In many occasions the courts had to decide upon the procedures to be used and determine whether the matters brought in court were sufficient and brought well in ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: seek redress. It was here where one would meet a lot of files lumped together. There is also the issue of delays occasioned by the judicial officers. This law is very important and it has come at the right time. It has been explained very well by the acting Leader of the Majority Party, that this law will really help a lot of Kenyans. There are many times when decisions are made by people in public authority and those decisions turn out not to be fair. A lot of times the arguments in court are that the administrator did not ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to comment on this Motion. Sugar is one of the very important commodities in Kenya. There are several companies dealing with sugar. view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Sugar being a very important commodity in Kenya and part of trade in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) countries, it would be very important to privatise these companies so that Kenyans can participate in their management. They can be listed on the stock exchange. Some of them which have been running into debts, of which I can see the Government is assisting, can now be owned by members of the public who can inject capital into them. The public owners will be responsible. Outgrowers were proposed in this Report to ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to rise under Standing Order No. 89, that this matter is sub judice because it has already been filed in court. It is a civil proceeding in judicial review, and the Committee on Powers and Privileges is one of the parties. I have documents to table in this House. This is to show you that a date has already been set for hearing of this matter, which is 16th of this month. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: I withdraw my statement that a date has already been set in court. This matter is already view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, orders were made, as it has been said by the hon. Member, but the court did not terminate the proceedings wholly. The court would have moved suo moto and terminated the proceedings. The court did not terminate the proceedings since it allocated 16th April 2015 as the date when all parties will be invited, including the Clerk of the National Assembly, to make presentations. At that particular moment, the court will decide whether to terminate the case or not. However, for now, the matter is live in court. It is active and ongoing. view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity. In Makueni we lost eight youth and the whereabouts of two are not known. When I visited Chiromo Mortuary, it was a horrible sight and any leader worth his salt who went there would share with us that the grief is massive. This is a matter where serious questions have to be asked and serious answers need to be provided. It took quite a while to rescue the students and the Government has admitted it. What is being done for the future? The Likoni Ferry is a waiting disaster. The last time I ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: On this particular one, hon. (Dr.) Simiyu--- view
