• 14 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the fact that you are saying that this letter was just brought to you for notification. It is not an order. Neither does it require you, as the Speaker of the National Assembly, to go beyond its content. Therefore, we can even afford to treat it with the contempt it deserves. There is what we call the “letter” and “the spirit of the law”. You cannot use the “letter” to destroy “the spirit of the law”. The EACC is supposed to tell us what is unethical about us assisting our constituents. To the extent that they ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the proposed amendment because in the Constitution we talk about access to justice. We cannot talk about access to justice if we are not able to allow a victim who has suffered some injustice to be able give information to any department that is established. I am particularly impressed by this amendment, in view of the fact that one can approach the Power of Mercy Committee that is established under Article 133, where I was honoured to serve. This shows that any victim who has suffered is able to approach whatever institution ... view

Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is a good proposal by the Committee in the sense that at times, after conviction in criminal proceedings, it becomes a little bit rough for the victim to pursue compensation through a civil process. We have seen situations where, immediately after conviction, the court file cannot be traced for purposes of getting the court proceedings and filing for civil proceedings. Therefore, restitution, at the point where there is a conviction, is very important because it saves a lot of trouble, judicial time, the victim’s time and expenses. We should just have a one-off resolution of ... view

• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I know you love the Meru. This is a good thing because they are good people. We welcome you to Meru County anytime, especially because you were my classmate. view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support the proposed amendment to the Bill because we know that there are various statutes that deal with penalties. We have the Penal Code and the Sexual Offences Act. However, in the unlikely event, as it has been stated, that there is no penalty that has been specified for an offence against a victim under this Bill, it is important that we impose a fine. It should not just be a Kshs100,000 but a fine that makes an offender think of consequences before he commits an offence; he must know the repercussions that come with ... view
