• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I want to thank the Front Bench for coming to my aid as would be expected. I think it has been explained; the circumstances in which they are charged. I think there was another matter raised by Mr. Orengo which I felt needs to be addressed, so that all other hon. Members who may be entertaining such thoughts, can be very clear. Yes, the reason why we are introducing it and we have done it literally across the board is still broad because we really want the spirit and the letter of the Constitution to ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is very interesting because we are used to posing questions to the Executive but now, they are posing them to us. But that is why we have a Parliament. First, if you look at (a), it is talking of the entire document called the Constitution. So, any breach of that part makes you equally liable. But (b) is more specific because we are talking about Chapter 6 which is the integrity test. So, every person holding a State office must subscribe to that chapter. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, that is a very useful insight; that the suspension should not be open-ended; it must be terminated. I must admit we did not think about that. But we expect that general common sense will prevail. If you are suspended and interdicted, like the example Dr. Kones gave, if you are charged, then you are automatically suspended. Then you cannot lift that period until the case is actually determined. So, it depends on the scenario that led to the suspension. view

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, in doing so - and the political party barons need to hear this - we are trying to insert the words “influence peddling” after the words “engage in” ... view

• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: THAT, the Second Schedule be amended- (a) by deleting paragraph 6; (b) in sub-paragraph (b) of paragraph 11 by deleting the words “the periodic audit” appearing at the start of the paragraph and substituting therefor the words “the annual statutory and other audits” (c) by deleting paragraph 16 and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- “16. The officials of a party shall be authorized to sign on behalf of the party- (a) documents presented to the Registrar including membership register, mergers and other reports to the Registrar; (b) the accounts of the party and bank accounts; (c) audited annual accounts ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I just wanted to agree with hon. Kimunya; indeed, we proposed amendments. I do not have my copy here. We said that officials of the party should refer to the chairperson and the secretary-general. What hon. Karua wants now is to include the words that give authority to officials in paragraph 16. So, we need to relate the officials we designated to authorised officials. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I agree with the Minister. I just want him to be very clear. Since the amendment was not on the Order Paper, he may wish to read it out. view
