• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, there was one issue that the good judge said in the Report as they grappled with the very tricky question as to whether to name or not. Indeed, you will see that it was not an easy thing at all but in their wisdom the manner in which they prepared this report and submitted it, they must be commended. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: We must also commend very highly the Serena team that included the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs who has just moved this Motion and who is in the House, Prof. Ongeri and Dr. Sally Kosgei for having worked through Christmas. Not only were we home for Christmas but there were Kenyans here who were working to ensure that the recommendations of this Report are actually met. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it was very encouraging this morning to look at the kind of draft that they have already prepared and which we discussed in our committee about the implementation of this Report. It is our hope that by the end of this week, hopefully this statute setting up the tribunal will come to this House and hopefully after we thrash the issues through tomorrow's view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: , and we are able to set up this tribunal within the time line specified in this Report, this will be quite an achievement. We hope that as members of this House, we will rise to the occasion in the manner that the legal committee, the Serena team and Justice Waki has. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the English have a saying that: "A stitch in time saves nine". Similarly, the Waswahili have a saying that: "Usipoziba ufa utajenga ukuta" . Looking at the history of this nation, what happeneed in 1992, 1997 and last year, you will realise that whatever happened at the advent of multiparty democracy in this country gave meaning to the words of an old professor of politics, our former President Daniel arap Moi who said that: "Siasa mbaya, maishambaya" . I think it came down to that. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: The violence we witnessed across this country was not the first time it occurred. Every election year since 1992, we have had the recurrence of this very ugly violence that has turned communities against each other and that has targeted certain communities. It indeed, poses a great challenge to us as a House and as the present leadership of this country that we need to do something. It will not just end with what has been recommended here, but it will take the will of all of us to decide to live together as Kenyans. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it takes a word or two from some of us in this House to indeed influence many out there and set them against each other. We must address the issue of hate language and hate speech. It is an issue that the last Parliament looked at. The legislation did not go through but we will have an opportunity again in the course of the life of this House to relook at it. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: 4436 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES January 27, 2009 view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: This is because if one leader says that this particular community are like a spot that is not required here and they are called madoadoa, one word alone, would turn neighbours against each other and yet they have lived together for many years. They have intermarried and borne children together but because of the incitement, they have turned against each other. view
• 27 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country has never sunk this low. Indeed, looking at 1992 and 1997, it never went to the extent that it did in 2007. We saw this nation at its lowest ebb. view
