• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Questioner had put it and the Assistant Minister has tried to answer, it is quite clear that the counties of Bungoma, Kakamega and Busia have actually been disadvantaged in the justice system. While we appreciate the attempts to appoint the Commissioners of Assize, could the Assistant Minister justify why there is this discrepancy in the sense that the counties of Bungoma, Kakamega and Busia that account for a population of over 4 million people are subjected to only three judges as matters stand now? Even with the current shortages, why have they allowed ... view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Questioner, or the hon. Member of Parliament asking this Question, is the one who was seeking to be answered.

• 28 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is quite obvious that Members would have liked to debate what the Committee has presented without the corrigenda. I do not know whether it is in order to ask whether it is possible to allow the Members of the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to move whatever they have in the corrigenda as amendments to the Report so that Members can go ahead and debate the Report as it is. Then the Committee can bring in the corrigenda as amendments to the Report. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what is ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion and tell the Executive that; “what looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, must be the executive”. This is because it does not follow a straight line and it keeps on waddling. view
