The impetus to seek a platform to represent the people of Meru was created by the pro bono cases she undertook in the years she practiced law in Meru.

States of America (USA) for seeing the power in women and the youth. He said that what we have today is the life that we have borrowed from our youth. So, we have to make use of what we have today because the youth are there and we have to show them the way. The visit of the President of the USA is very important. He spoke about security and said that his county is going to support Kenya to deal with the issues that we have dealt with so much on our own in as far as terrorism is ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker and my Chairman for donating this moment. I support this amendment and note that this body was a transitional body that was supposed to assist the Judiciary and Kenyans in general to restore the confidence in the Judiciary that was lacking by the time we passed the Constitution in 2010. We know that there are very many judges and magistrates who are awaiting promotion upon the successful completion of their vetting. We want to believe that once that is done then they are going to be in their positions. This vetting Board must know that ...

Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will share with my brother. I want to thank Members for accepting the call to honour Prof. Kaimenyi by rejecting the petition. We want to believe that he will be better when we come back from recess. I would also like to congratulate the President for starting the war on alcoholism.

On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. I just want to know whether it is in order for the Leader of the Minority Party to state that the Leader of the Majority Party is arrogant. Is that parliamentary language?

What Hon. Duale said was that he is handsome. You can never kill a man because he is handsome. You can only accept it. Arrogance cannot be measured by any standards. Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Bill. EACC is a very important commission in the Republic of Kenya, especially when we have to do deal with very many issues, including the challenges of devolution. We have looked at the amendments as a Committee and arrived at a unanimous decision that it is important that the commissioners serve on a part-time basis, so that they are also able to participate and work efficiently when they have a sitting. Under Article 250 of the Constitution, each commission should have, at least, three and not more than nine commissioners. However, ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for providing an equal opportunity to all of us. I stand to support this Bill as proposed by the Committee and Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. It is a very well thought-out Bill that looks at an industry that most people - and even we legislators - have not looked into so that we can take care of our community. Guards have been protecting our lives and yet, we have not done much about them. I have looked at this Bill. It is a good Bill. The opening remarks of this ...

That is because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor.
