• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: That took a lot of courage and hard work by this board led my learned senior Chairman, Mr. Rao. It took them several months to just deal with the Court of Appeal only and, as painful as the exercise was, it is the price that we must pay for change. As a nation, we must be prepared as we push through these reforms to ensure that we are able to accomplish what we set out to do to restore public confidence in an institution that is critical in our democracy; the Judiciary, an institution that was in the center of ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, to restore confidence in the Judiciary, it will not only take the laws we have put in place; it will take commitment and hard work by people who believe in reforms. I was very privileged as the Ministry charged, to have witnessed the launching of the transformative framework of the Judiciary by the Chief Justice, Dr. Willy Mutunga. It is truly a new beginning for the Judiciary. But for the board to continue and to accomplish the remaining task, it is not possible or practical for this to be done within the three months period. As ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was very clear that when we had the Commissioners and the Chairman reconcile their differences for the sake of the nation, they provided leadership and I was congratulating the Chairman and the Commissioners for that act of putting the nation before self. They reconciled their differences and are working together to conclude their report. We must appreciate in a nation that we are always divided and fighting over everything. If the Commissioners can provide leadership and resolve their differences amicably, that is something that we need to commend. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, these were some of the concerns that made the Commission disagree for a while and it also ended up in court. The concerns were addressed including the credibility of the process and the integrity of the report. If the law is followed as they are going to do, where any member is adversely touched, the law is very clear that they are excluded from the matter in which there would be conflict of interest. So, the Commissioners agreed that the law must be abided by and wherever the Chairman, Amb. Kiplagat, and any other Commissioner were ... view
• 31 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was among the team of lawyers who went to the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) to challenge the decision of the Ninth Parliament and the manner in which they had picked the representatives to the EALA. It was found that they had violated the provisions of Article 50 of The Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community. The manner in which they picked the names was undemocratic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, today, I am proud to be a Member of the 10th Parliament. I think we have set standards. We have carried out these ... view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to second this Procedural Motion. As the honorable Chief Whip has said, this is purely procedural and for purposes of complying with the requirements of the East African Community (EAC) and the Treaty. view
• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do know that many Kenyans are waiting anxiously to see these names being placed before this House and this House approving them, so that we can send our representatives to EALA. We have the women of Kenya who have been fighting for positions, and also persons with disabilities and they are anxiously waiting for this. We are asking that we be allowed to sit tomorrow morning for purposes of approval of these names only. view

• 30 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just want to thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this Bill and who have supported it. It is going to set new standards in legal training in our country. The concerns raised, I think are matters we are going to look at, particularly the concern raised by hon. Karua about fees in terms of making legal education accessible and affordable to all Kenyans. These are some of the concerns that we will be addressing as Government as we move forward. view
