• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. This matter touches on a very serious sector. I want to start by thanking hon. Jamleck Kamau for deeming it fit to bring it up in the manner that he brought it. This is a matter that is so clear in law. The people of Kenya vested this House with the power to make laws. The people of Kenya say, at Article 94(5) of the Constitution, that:- “No person or body, other than Parliament, has the power to make provision having the force of law in Kenya except under authority conferred by this Constitution or ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Kamama. If those 14 days or the number of days stipulated in the Act have not passed, that piece of delegated legislation still does not have the force of law. Let me end by saying that it is the desire of the people of Kenya, if we look at the framework of Article 94 of the Constitution and the Statutory Instruments Act, to avoid a situation where we can continue to rule this country on the basis of Executive fiat. I want to use this occasion, even as we await your ruling, to remind all regulation-making authorities, CSs and Principal ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. The matter we are dealing with concerns an independent constitutional commission. It is a very serious matter touching on the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). Hon. Members, you remember that the President was here a short while ago.

The investigations that we have been undertaking as a Committee have taken us through several documents and hearings. The recess also came midstream. I, therefore, support that we get extension of time. ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for the compliments. I also thank hon. Millie Odhiambo, my niece for recognising that there is something I have taken time to know and write about. Today is a landmark day in the area of administrative law and administrative actions in the country. Let me give compliments to a few people who have made it possible for us to reach where we can talk of a Bill. When I left the Kenya School of Law I took a lot of interest in this subject. You will remember it was very difficult to get court decisions on administrative law ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: review, which is essentially court intervention on administrative actions to ensure fairness, is inherent. It is natural to the High Court. It is not arising from the Constitution or the supervisory jurisdiction of the court, under Article 165(7). This was even a confusion under the previous Constitution, which made some people to think – because it also had supervisory jurisdiction – that Judiciary was arising from the then Section 65. This is not it. The power of the court to intervene on administrative action is inherent. I want to take a stride; that we have an opportunity, within the context ... view
• 15 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Kenyan is bound to be fair in administrative action. Anybody affected by such action has the right to proceed for judicial review. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would have gone in great detail if there was opportunity--- view
• 10 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. The BPS is about what policy direction should guide us when allocating money for services for our people. view
