• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have really discussed this with my friend because it is not practical. Here, it talks of situations of emergency or disaster. I want to give the example of the American bombing when the military moved in to help. Now my friend is suggesting that before doing that, we come to Parliament to seek approval. We oppose this amendment very strongly. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I agree with the Chair that during discussions, we allowed this amendment, but how practical is it? For example, if it is necessary to restore peace during a time when Parliament is not sitting, and we are talking about in the country not outside. We agreed that before the forces are deployed outside, parliamentary approval will be a must. But here we are talking of a situation similar to that of 2008, when things became very bad in Nakuru and the Commander-in-Chief ordered the Defence Forces to go and restore order when police had failed. ... view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in view of the advice of the learned Attorney-General, and since the Constitution has already spoken as the Chair has said, then we do not need it here. So, I propose that we do not have it here; it remains in the Constitution. I think that is the advice we got from the Attorney-General. The Constitution is clear and so, why do we need to legislate what the Constitution has provided? Therefore, I suggest that we do not approve the amendment. view

• 23 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to confirm to the Members of this Committee that we very sympathetic to these situations. Indeed, only last week, I assured the House when I was answering a Question by the hon. Letimalo that we will take care and ensure that, in future, what has been happening does not happen. I have had very extensive discussion with hon. Letimalo on this particular amendment. We have agreed with him on a manner in which we will improve it. Therefore, with your permission, I want to read what we have agreed as a way of ... view
