• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to disagree but let me proceed. I beg to move that The Leadership and Integrity Bill be read a Second Time. As a nation, we know that we have had a past where Kenyans have suffered because of bad governance and corruption. When Kenyans were fighting for the new Constitution, they were really aspiring for a new Kenya where we can raise standards of leadership, where we can have leaders of integrity and where we can embrace the new values as enshrined in Article 10 of our Constitution. Article 80 of our Constitution requires this ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: This Bill, in accordance with the timelines provided in the Fifth Schedule, is supposed to be enacted before 27th of August, 2012, within two years of promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya. I want to thank Members for shortening the time of the period for publication. I also want to thank Members for this afternoon shortening the time within which the Committee will engage with this Bill and really going beyond the extra mile to be able to meet the deadline. I believe today as we move on to pass this Bill into law and to set new standards of ... view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Off record. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was not in the House when the hon. Member requested for this Statement, but I have been advised to make the Statement on Thursday. Perhaps, we might need to look at the HANSARD. The impression I had was that the Statement be made on Thursday. We have prepared it and we will deliver it on Thursday. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am actually appearing before the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs tomorrow on the same matter. I believe that whatever I will be delivering before this House on Thursday will be basically the same as what I will be submitting before the Committee. So, perhaps, in the interest of saving time of the House, if we could wait for the Committee Report after getting what I will be delivering before it, and then the hon. Member and House can interrogate that Report which will basically be on the same matter. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question had been discussed between hon. Cheptumo and the hon. Member but because of further information that the hon. Member required, it had been agreed that the matter comes up next week on Wednesday when the hon. Cheptumo can supply the further information that is required. It had already been agreed by hon. Mwau and hon. Cheptumo, if the former can confirm. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to second this Procedural Motion to allow for fast tracking of these Bills through the reduction of a period of publication. As hon. Kimunya has said, we did go beyond the extra mile to ensure that we live up to the expectations of this House. We did make an undertaking when we had the Speaker’s Kamukunji, that we must have all the five Bills published by 2nd July. I did also make a statement in this House that we were trying to do so by the 29th, particularly with ... view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we did have these Bills ready, but they could not come to the House until after His Excellency the President returned on Friday and they were all approved. We do believe that once we are able to shorten the period, we will be able to dispose of these Bills and we will meet the 27th August deadline. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Bill. In seconding it, I wish to say that this is perhaps one of the most important pieces of legislation that this House is going to pass. Part of the problem we had in 2007/2008 came from lack of clear laws on the process of the transfer of power; the old Constitution provided that one became President upon being declared a winner and would be sworn into office. The ceremony was unclear. This particular piece of legislation gives effect to the provisions of Article 141 of the Constitution, which makes ... view
