• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should start anticipating those things. It is important for us to create the flexibility that is required. Let us not pass laws that, at the end of it all are exclusive and not inclusive of building up political capacity for this House. Very well, the current sitting President, indeed, had lost two elections. He sat here as Leader of the Official Opposition and made his contributions. He offered himself again, at some point. Then, the Constitution allowed for those kinds of people to sit in the House because they could contest their seats. Now, we ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: For clarity, we are saying that when we passed the Elections Bill, we did not allow presidential candidates and their running mates to run for seats. That we agreed. But we said that they may be allowed to be nominated. When the Act was gazetted, there was an error and that error has never been corrected. So, this is an opportunity for us to make right what has been a mistake in the Government Printer’s Office. It is good for us. It is good for the country and it is good for this nation for purposes of breeding future leaders ... view

• 31 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point of order I am raising is fundamental because we have the Assistant Minister asserting certain facts, which are in total opposition to what the Questioner is asserting. We are now caught between what we are being told and what is really the fact on the ground. In a situation like this, I would support hon. Millie Odhiambo; that, the matter should go to a Departmental Committee because it is in that forum that proper evidence can be deduced and then proper directions be given. Otherwise, what is going on here does not help the ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister in his Statement about the implementation of the Constitution said that it is not only the implementation of the law but the spirit of the Constitution. I want the Prime Minister to refer to Article 248 of the Constitution. In this Article, the following commissions which he referred to have been set up under the Constitution: The Kenya National Human Rights Commission; the National Lands Commission; the IEBC and all the commission of the Constitution including the independent offices like the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget. The clarification I wanted ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First, I want to appreciate the Prime Minister’s response to some of the issues that have been raised but is it really in order for him to say that the Executive is constrained by the processes yet in many of the Commissions; the shared Executive has the sole prerogative of nominating the chairpersons? With the exception of the appointment of the Chairperson to the National Police Commission, which is hanging, the Executive has invariably left out the Coast Province. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not speaking on my own. People are ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Assistant Minister, just for the sake of the Chair, the question that was asked was: “What action have you taken against those who are responsible?” I think that is what hon. Kiuna asked. view
