• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to make a few remarks on this Bill. First, may I congratulate the Minister for upgrading our law to the status it is in now. From 4,000 BC when we had roads in current Iraq and the current transformation of road advanced, there has been transformation in law.

• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I take this opportunity to thank the Mover of this Motion and the leader of the delegation that went on a study tour on our behalf. The Mover could not have put it better. It is my first time in this House--- God willing, we will be here for many years. We should strive to improve things that we find in a place.

• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have created so many ministries in this Government, especially after the Referendum. But we have failed to create a very important Ministry. That is the Ministry that would give status to the Office of the Government Chief Whip. If we did that, the Government Chief Whip will not have to queue and wait to consult, when we needed to do those consultations yesterday. I fully concur with the proposal to create a new ministry that will fall under the Office of the President. It will be in charge of parliamentary affairs. That Ministry will ... view

• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would have agreed with Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko's argument if the persons to be proposed were to be proposed in their individual capacities. In other jurisdictions, names of persons holding high offices are proposed by the President and when they are brought here, they are interrogated individually. However, in this particular case, the names are to be proposed by parliamentary parties. So, the nominees are not coming as individuals. It is for that reason that they must be approved as a group, and not as individuals. So, accepting this amendment would be returning what we have ... view

• 23 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for moving this Bill. I congratulate her very much. Since we held the Referendum where Kenyans were given the opportunity to decide on whether or not they will have a new constitution, this House has not had the opportunity to put back the process on track. This Bill seeks to start that process. It seeks to give the House the opportunity to take charge of the constitutional matters that this country has been debating for the last 15 years. We even had the Referendum and got a negative answer. Mr. ... view
