• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to thank Hon. Chepkong’a for bringing this Bill. I attended the seminar in Mombasa where these issues were discussed. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I had pressed my intervention button regarding what Hon. Jakoyo had mentioned a few minutes earlier. I wanted your indulgence so that you could, maybe, give a ruling on the same. I think it is wrong for a Member to allude that the Judiciary is a reflection of the Executive. It is unacceptable. The Constitution is clear on separation of powers between the Executive, Judiciary and the Legislature. People should ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Vetting Board, then you cannot be picked by the President to serve as a judge. They wanted to delete that clause so that they can be appointed as judges in future upon serving the Board. I accept that the Committee did not bring that amendment. Regarding the amendment that has been brought to the Floor, I think it is right for us to support it. It is very clear. As it has been said, it has no financial implication.

Unless he has another copy that was not circulated for this purpose, the Bill is very clear. The second page of the Bill is very clear. As Hon. Neto has just indicated, we are changing from “three” to “six” months. They have already cleared the six months to March. I do not see the confusion. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand on Standing Order No.95, on closure of debate. I have been here for quite a while and have heard repetition of issues. I am pleading with you that since we are not bringing anything fresh, you ask the Mover to reply. view
