• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think the Minister was proposing an amendment and I wanted to propose that we should take that amendment and amend it from 30 per cent to 10 per cent. This is already in existence. I proposed an amendment to the Procurement Act. This House passed that Bill but it has not yet been assented by the President. However, the President issued a directive that we should start with 10 per cent. That is already in force and under Article 55 of our Constitution the State is required to take affirmative action programmes to ensure the ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, perhaps, Mr. Orengo should have thanked me. I was in Kwale and I took a lot of heat over Swazuri’s appointment. I am happy that the matter is being attended to. There was a request from Mrs. Rachel Shebesh on 18th of December regarding a matter that relates to a recommendation made by the Chairman of the Commission on Administrative Justice that the Members of Parliament for Embakasi and Makadara constituencies should not contest for any post in the next general elections. Specifically the hon. Member sought for the following:- (i) To indicate the mandate ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing stops Mr. Waititu and Mr. Mbuvi from vying for office. The recommendation of the ombudsman cannot form a legal basis for them to be barred from running for office. I will also give the assurance to Mr. Waititu, who asked for an apology from the ombudsman--- I think we are saying that it is the IEBC which is the commission responsible and mandated to carry out elections and deal with issues of eligibility. For the avoidance of doubt, I will ask that commission to make it very clear that ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Otiende Amollo is my colleague at the Bar. I know he is a very able lawyer. I have known him for many years. We have practised law together. I know he is a brilliant lawyer. I am not aware of anything that makes him unfit to hold office, unless the hon. Member has any information that I do not have. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: I will concur with Mr. Waititu that rules of natural justice require that one should not be condemned unheard. As I have said, that recommendation, or the report, cannot form a basis for barring the hon. Members. I will be communicating with the IEBC on the matter, and I give hon. Members that assurance. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support this Bill. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Kenya Law Reform Commission Bill, Bill No.67 of 2012, be read a Second Time. This Bill is very important particularly because of the important and central role played by the Kenya Law Reform Commission in the implementation process of our Constitution. Under Section 5(6) of the Sixth Schedule, it is very clear that the Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) works very closely with the Kenya Law Reform Commission and the Office of the Attorney-General in co- ordinating and preparing for tabling in Parliament the legislation required ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to thank all the hon. Members for supporting the Bill and for their very valuable contributions. We welcome the amendments but I just want to assure them that the other day as we paid tribute to the 10th Parliament, indeed, we should have paid tribute to Kathurima and his team. The quality Bills that came to this House, the credit we have been given as a House for passing very good laws, and the Bills that came also came from the Kenya Law Reform Commission; people who went beyond the ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Committee for their recommendation for the appointment of Halakhe Dida Waqo, a highly qualified Kenyan and an individual whose credentials are unquestionable. In my Ministry we have had the pleasure of dealing with him before in another commission which is under our Ministry, NCIC. When we forwarded his name to this House, we knew that he had gone through a very competitive process. From the initial list of 28 applicants, he made it to the top five and when the Committee recommended that he be appointed, it is another feather ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it was for the Provincial Administration and hon. ole Metito is in the House. view
