• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 19 be amended by deleting sub-clause (7) that says a Judge or a Magistrates who submits to vetting shall be entitled, at their own cost, to legal representation. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I proposed the amendment to delete this section for the simple reason that if lawyers are to appear with judges for vetting, this process will not be completed today or tomorrow. It will take another ten years. Since this is just for knowing the character of the person who is being vetted to be a judge, and is not a court case or anything, I propose that they just come themselves. Any person who goes to an interview should not be accompanied by lawyers. You do not take lawyers with you when you want to be ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 26 be amended by deleting the expression “in consultation with the committee of the National Assembly designated for that purpose”. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the Board is supposed to be paid certain allowances, but the experience we have had before is that when this is not set by the relevant Minister, it becomes a point of debate and it delays the work. I also want to quote the Judicial Service Bill, in which it is clearly stated that the Minister will set the allowances. I want to remove the words, “in consultation with the Committee of the National Assembly”, so that we do not have delays and people asking for Kshs1 million or Kshs2 million to so as serve. We ... view

• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 28 be amended in subclause(1) by deleting the expression “without further appropriation that this Act” and substituting therefor the expression “and the appropriation for the expenses shall be included in the Appropriation Bill introduced in the National Assembly to authorize the withdrawal from the Consolidated Fund.” view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: I propose that these funds should not be charged directly to the Consolidated Fund. They should go through the necessary Appropriations Bill in the same way that all the other funds go through, because that privilege has been left only to the Judiciary Fund and Parliament itself. We do not want every other committee to just charge the Consolidated Fund directly. It will bring confusion to planning and the Budget. view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to bring to the attention of the Assistant Minister that the real question here is why is it that the cost of money is so expensive when you are dealing with individuals? I would like to lay on the Table the survey on bank charges and lending rates that was carried out by the Central Bank of Kenya. I just want the Assistant Minister to tell us in terms of reducing the cost of loans to individuals, what is the difficulty the Government is facing in standardizing those costs? If you look at this, there ... view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, and going with that--- view
• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will straightaway go away from the praises and all the good things that have been said and ask the Minister to pay attention to a few things because he really needs our minds here to fertilize the Bill and not for us to praise singers. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the first thing I want to raise concerns the principle of separation of power. We have brought into this Judicial Service Bill, the terminology “President of Supreme Court, President of Court of Appeal, Vice-President of what and not”. We must not confuse our people ... view
