• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: In terms of cohesion and going forward, we need to realise that our system of governance has one national Government and 47 counties and there are no 48 governments in this country, so to speak. In terms of sustainable development, in planning our economy and our investments, for example, the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), which involves a lot of money, the Government should ensure sustainability by having more Kenyans participating and getting jobs in this process. I have not seen that happen in the SGR, in Galana and in the energy sector as indicated in this Report. I am happy ... view
• 23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: As I finish, ethnicity, corruption and balkanisation of this country is not going to take us anywhere. It is high time the presidency and all those who work for him realise that this country is one, consisting of 42 tribes, and when giving jobs and any other opportunities, everyone should have an equal take on what happens in this country. view

• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Before I move the amendments, I want to congratulate the Mover of the Motion, Hon. Gumbo, the Chairman of the PAC for a very well-balanced report that gives us an in-depth analysis of what the happenings have been in the Judiciary and how his Committee and him thinks we can handle these problems. Hon. Speaker, I do not know if you want me to contribute as I move my amendments or I move my amendments first. view

• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. My second amendment is with regard to Recommendation No.4 that states:- “For his failure to provide leadership, the Chief Justice (CJ) must take personal responsibility for allowances paid to the Commissioners of the JSC for attending meetings that were not convened with his knowledge and approval.” My amendment is to question the wording. If you are conceding as a Committee that these meetings were done without knowledge and approval of the Chief Justice, why do you want to make him responsible? My amendment is that the Commissioners who participated in the meetings without the ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: “He shall be the Head of the Judiciary, the President of the Supreme Court and shall be the link between the Judiciary and the arms of Government.” In addition to that sub-section, he must assign duties to the Deputy Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, the Principal Judge of the High Court and the Chief Registrar and give annual reports as may be necessary. Hon. Speaker, having gone through this Report, it is clear to me, based on what is available, that there has been a tug of war among the Office of the Chief Justice, the ... view
• 11 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what has just happened this afternoon is an interesting thing that you would probably want to rule on for future reference. It is not a small matter. I can see Hon. Chepkong’a laughing at it. The rules about seconding are clear. If you agree to second a Motion but you stand and oppose it, you have not seconded. It is not a small matter. view
