• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: For purposes of bringing hon. Members on board, this is the particular clause that we were urging that all members of the Board will be Kenyans. We did not need to bring non-citizens because we are all qualified. So, I propose that we say that all the members shall be Kenyans. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the procedure would be, and I stand to be corrected, that it has to be withdrawn or has been moved and defeated. It can never be superfluous. So, I wish to withdraw in view of the fact that the first one did not go through. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Clause 9 was also mine. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 9 be amended by:- (a) Inserting the following new proviso at the end of Sub-clause (5)- (b) “Provided that not more than two-thirds of the candidate shall be from one gender”, (c) Deleting sub-clause(13) view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it would have been good if hon. Members were present during the Second Reading because we debated this in detail.

That is the reason for my amendment. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think that was a mistake and I withdraw the amendment. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, to make it clearer, if you look at Sub-clause 13, you will see that this is the point where the President and the Prime Minister are to appoint three foreign judges. Now that the other one was not carried, this one must be withdrawn. Therefore, I withdraw. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 18 be amended by deleting paragraph (e) of sub-clause (2). When vetting to determine the suitability of a judge or a magistrate, there are many good things that the Board should determine, but there is one that we have an issue with which talks about the temperament of the judge. This shall include demonstrable possession of compassion, humility, history of courtesy and civility in dealing with others, ability to maintain composure and all these other things. The argument that we have presented is that, first of all, there is no ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I believe I am entitled to say something in response, particularly to what the Minister has said. Looking at the arguments that the Minister has advanced, it is not true that all the Bangalore Principles must be codified. In fact, it is not true that the entire Judicial Code of Conduct is codified in law. This is a dangerous provision we are putting in this law. The example he used is also a wrong one. What happens on things which happen outside the courtroom, for instance, when a matatu blocks a ... view
