• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Under Article 38 of our Constitution, in the political rights enshrined thereunder, there must not be any undue restrictions so as to prevent any Kenyan, including Philemon Rono, from participating in the upcoming historic elections. Such undue restrictions will include high nomination fees as have been included in these regulations and if the HELB is to ask the young man to clear his loan before he has even tarmacked or got a job, he will have been blocked from the next General Elections. These are some of the issues that we require now with the amendment to Section 109 that ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just wish to emphasize that the amendment that was included apart from the regulations is also necessary to allow for extra time for registration of voters. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support the Motion. I start by also declaring my interest as Mrs. Noor did. I am a son of a former primary school teacher. I do know when teachers think about their salaries and have to strike to get their welfare addressed; I also assure them that they have every right under--- view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, if my brother was a little bit patient, probably, he would understand what I am talking about. I am a Kenyan, a Member of Parliament as well as a Minister in the Cabinet and above all, I am the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. I know that this Constitution gives every Kenyan under Article 41(2)(d) the right to strike. I believe that the teachers have every right under our Constitution to strike. As the Constitution gives you the right to strike, it equally gives you the responsibility to enjoy and exercise that right ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: The violence we have witnessed in the last few days---. Apart from the teachers, what we saw in Mombasa, Wajir and Mandera showed there is a culture of violence that is growing in this country and that is very worrying. We need to do something to stop this culture and practice from growing and getting out of hand. We know that we are still recovering from the post-election violence, but we are already witnessing pre-election violence. So, we must do everything to say no to the culture of violence and to encourage Kenyans to exercise their rights, but do so ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: This is a worrying situation. As we speak, we must find a way of saying we cannot accept this confusion on one hand, enjoy our rights under Article 41, and at the same time disrespect the rule of law. We need to promote the culture of constitutionalism which is all about fidelity to the spirit and letter of the law. It is important for the future of this country. We believe that there is a way out and threats, either from the Government side or from the teachers, will not do. Violence is not the answer. We are saying that ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I am very grateful to hear from my learned senior, Mr. M. Kilonzo, the Minister in charge that already dialogue has started. We want to urge all parties to embrace view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to inform Members and the country that we have been able to reach an agreement with the Canadian Government on the Government to Government (G-to-G) procurement of equipment from Canada. As of this morning, the Cabinet Sub-committee did approve the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Some of the issues raised here are going to be part of this MoU that must be abided to by both parties and the supplier. When we see that equipment, we will be providing the MoU that, that information be secured. view

• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: this morning, we were able to agree with hon. Members and Committees, including the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC), Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Following the consensus built this morning, I wish, with your permission, under Standing No. 51, to make a request for withdrawal of the Motion under Order No. 8. This will allow time for hon. Members and particularly the Committees, to have more time to do justice to the four documents that were laid on the Table on 30th August, 2012. The three Committees felt that they needed time, particularly ... view
