• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, my only interest, as you guided me earlier, is that there is a submission of Clause 5, unless I have misled you by--- view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: I apologize, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, since you have invited me, I would counsel that we delete as proposed. Sometimes less is more. I think in practice, universities should be free to make a judgment on every case and to be able to say to a student, “this is an expeditious disposal of your matter, you cheated in the exam and you have been expelled.” The student then may, if he so wishes, say, “I wish to be represented by counsel”. That can be dealt with as a separate issue. However, the way it is now we have made it possible ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I would like to counsel that this is not a good way to legislate. First of all, it is not a standard procedure to repeal other legislation by inference. If we are of the view that there is any other statute that should be subordinated to this statute, we should do so expressly. The problem this creates is what I had alluded to earlier; for example, we have the Council of Legal Education Act, which is intended to vest in the council of legal education exclusive jurisdiction, including to review university programmes. We have already ... view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move a very slight amendment so that 5(3) reads as follows:- view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: “For the avoidance of doubt, save as maybe expressly provided under any other written law, the Commission shall be the only body with the power to perform the functions set out in this section. view
• 5 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, the intention is to save the powers granted under any other law. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a reply that I have received from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). I have discussed it with the Member for Kilome. It is clear that this document referred to is not available to the DPP. We have agreed that any copy available to the Member will be made available to me, so that I may present it to the DPP for clarification. As that is acceptable to the Member, I request you to give me another week. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Since you last directed me to obtain supplementary information on the fate of these unhappy Kenyans now in the Republic of Tanzania, I wrote a letter to the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is dated 15th November, 2012. I have followed up that communication. I have been requested to seek an extra week, while they obtain the information that they require from the High Commissioner in Dar es Salaam. I so request. I had already intimated to the hon. Member that I would be making that request. view
• 29 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure the hon. Member and the House that the Government takes very seriously the rights of Kenyans, even when they are in foreign countries, and even if they are criminal suspects in those countries. Unfortunately, this now has become a diplomatic issue; it is no longer directly in my hands or those of the DPP. It is in the hands of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I promise that within a week, I will have obtained whatever information is available. If it turns out, as the hon. Member suggests, that we were wrong, ... view
