• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Therefore, the exercise of vetting judges and magistrates should not be viewed as, in any way, victimising those loyal and dedicated judges and magistrates. It must be viewed as a necessity to weed out of the Judiciary people who have not been able to deliver as it were. These are some of the few reasons as to why our Judiciary has lost respect from members of the public. There are many other reasons as well. Corruption has been cited in the Judiciary but I do not want to dwell on that one. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, even the dedicated judges ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to say that this is a good Bill and it is a good beginning. I want to say that the procedure for selecting the Board is very clearly stated. Currently, we are going through a very shameful episode. For the first time, we are trying to rid the Judiciary of people of questionable character. We want to ensure that those who are appointed are appointed in a transparent manner. Therefore, during the appointment of this board, we do want to see a repeat of what we are witnessing now where the appointment of the ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, all I am saying is that, let us not hear controversies after the appointment of members of this Board. Let us hear that there is agreement. We do not want to go through this circus. I plead with those who are making appointments that we should not think of Kenya today. They must look at Kenya tomorrow. This must not be my interest as a person or my party’s interest. It should be in the interest of Kenya as a nation. It must be in the interest of posterity, and not the interest of today or ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thought I should strongly support this Bill.

• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (b) The appeal procedure available for Ex-Private Kiyier is by filing a suit at the High Court of Kenya for independent hearing of this case for determination. The Ministry headquarters has not yet received any appeal from the ex-serviceman. If we did, the direct request by the ex-serviceman will not be admissible by the Ministry of Defence. This is because it is a right only available to serving 4734 view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: personnel under Section 226 of the Armed Forces Act. Therefore, the question of delay does not arise. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: (c) The circumstances of his dismissal and the seriousness of the offence committed do not warrant his consideration for clemency. Further, reinstating this ex-serviceman will not be in the interest of good order and discipline of our armed forces. view
• 5 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I would like to inform my brother, hon. Shakeel, that the Military Disciplinary Law is rigid for offence of this nature. It would, therefore, not be lawful to reinstate the ex-serviceman. view
