• 28 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I said to my learned--- My friend, actually. I always teach him the law when we have a moment. I am surprised that he has not learned the law that I have been teaching him up to now. Chapter Four on the Bill of Rights states that you cannot discriminate on the basis of age, gender, or race. We could not have said that even if she met all the other requirements of the vetting this lady should not be appointed as the Deputy Chief Justice because she is three years and not two ... view

• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this amendment. I believe that we are giving in to this amendment--- view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: I mean the Motion. It is in the spirit of give and take. Article 10 of the Constitution talks about transparency and accountability. The Jubilee Government by accepting to have the Chair of PIC and PAC from the minority party really lives to its manifesto to show that the Government is there to work and it is open. It is ready for checks and it is going to perform. This is a good Motion. We, therefore, expect the minority party to play its role. Every Member in this House is here for oversight purposes. The PAC must not have the view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: On a point or order, hon. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Member to allege that the Jubilee Government stole the elections when he knows that we received a ruling from the Supreme Court and they agreed with the ruling of the Chief Justice? In law, he who alleges must prove. If he cannot prove that the elections were stolen, which they have failed to do, then they should forever remain silent. He should apologize. view

• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: I rise to oppose the deletion of Clause 6 in the sense that maybe they do not understand what alternative dispute resolution provides. Alternative dispute resolution is all about negation and arbitration. When there is a relationship, as it is going to be between the National Government and the county government there is bound to be conflict. When conflict arises, what is required is that parties explore all alternative means of dispute resolution before they move to a court of law. This clause does not follow that if you go to court to file a frivolous claim, then it means ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I support this clause that hon. Nyokabi has brought to the House on the strength that the law does not operate on ambiguity. The mind of the drafters must be very explicit to any person who is reading the law, whether he is a layman or lawyer. You will find under Article 260, we have provision where interpretations are stated and explained. What we realized in this particular bill is that these terms that were used in the Bill were not explained and therefore any person reading the meaning would not be able to get what exactly the ... view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I am glad that you are back. We welcome you back. We pray with you at this moment when you are facing a tough situation. view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: I rise to support the Motion before the House and state that a livestock insurance fund ought to have been in place as early as yesterday. We notice that most of the population in Kenya really lives on livestock farming, not just in the ASAL areas but even in other areas that do other types of farming. My support is due to the fact that when you take out an insurance cover it is supposed to take care of a catastrophe or a disaster. We have seen that we take out insurance covers for our motor vehicles and properties. view
