• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are asking that we be allowed by the House, through this Bill, to amend Section 2 of the Judicature Act so as to delete the words “puisne judge” provided in that section. We are also asking for deletion in Sections 61 and 64 and substituting the expressions in Articles 1665 and 1664, respectively. That will enable us bring in line the Judicature Act with the new provisions of our Constitution, apart from, of course, mainly amending Section 7 to allow the increment of the judges. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: So, those are the only amendments we are proposing to this Act and I do urge that the House supports and approves this Bill to allow for these amendments. Also, we will be urging that the House does support the ongoing judicial reforms. We will also be asking that judicial reforms alone are not enough. Judicial reforms without reforming the police are a half done job. It will be a half baked job. We must, as we carry out judicial reforms, move with speed to ensure that police reforms are equally carried out. That is necessary. Apart from judicial reforms ... view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I just want to thank all the Members for contributing and to assure hon. Shebesh that we already have very able women. For example, we have Lady Mumbi who is living with Albinism and there are many more very able women who will be joining. With those few remarks, I beg to move. view
• 22 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Kenya School of Law Bill be now read a Second Time. I wish to thank all those who have contributed to this Bill, particularly my predecessor who went through the process of preparing this Bill. I would like to thank Mr. Kulundu who is currently heading the School of Law. He is a very able man and a man as brilliant as his late brother Dr. Kulundu who was a very able Minister and a good friend. May the good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace! As we ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine being the line Ministry, I want to say that the EACC is one of the most important Commissions under my Ministry. We did, as a House, debate the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We did vote on that Report and we need not go back to debate on what we had already debated. The purpose of this Motion is just to approve the names that we have put before this House so that we ensure that this country has a Commission that ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank Mr. Orengo for giving me the opportunity to second the Bill before the House and the opportunity to address the House from the very first time from this side. view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I also thank His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister for giving me the opportunity to serve Kenyans in this capacity. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in seconding this Bill, I wish to thank the Minister and his officers at the Ministry of Lands; the Permanent Secretary; I have seen here the Chief Land Registrar, the Commissioner of Lands, Mr. Mabea and my friend Mr. Murage, the Director of Survey. I know that together with the Minister they have burnt the midnight oil to get this job done. I must also thank the Departmental Committee on Lands and Natural ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also say that for the first time, we have a law that will implement the land policy. We, as a nation, know that we shed blood for our land to drive out the colonial masters from the White Highlands and other parts of this country. We know that because of land, we shed blood in 1992 and in 1997. In all the general elections where we had tribal clashes, land was at the centre of it and, indeed, in 2008, it was identified as one of the Agenda Four items that needed to ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I say so, because I was one of those who were on the front line fighting for the land policy. For the first time in our history, we recognized a category of Kenyans that we had overlooked and they are called squatters. Through the land policy and now through this Bill, for the first time, we will put in our statute and our books of law the name of squatters. You will see on page 10 that for the first time, we are recognizing and describing who a squatter is. It is not a very pretty definition. The word squatter ... view
• 18 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Amongst the first Motions that I moved before the House was a Motion on squatters and the need for this nation to identify and come up with means of dealing with the problem of landlessness and squatters. I indicated that when my grandfather came to Trans Nzoia, he was a squatter of one colonial master called Major Hoax. He was a Major in the Second World War. Therefore, as I speak today, I speak passionately about this as a grandson of a squatter. I believe that as we pass this Bill, we are finally, after over 40 years of ignoring ... view
