• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would agree that persistent and consistent failure to pay legitimate court awards is misconduct on the part of a Permanent Secretary for which I believe myself there ought to be a sanction by the appointing authority. In addition, the Permanent Secretary who fails to pay an award in time and accumulates interest on the award to be paid by the Kenyan public from their taxes is further evidence of misconduct on his part. I myself would be advising that they should be surcharged for this kind of monies. view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure hon. Njuguna that one of the things that I am personally committed to and have already started implementing is taking an audit of all the pending claims against the Government. I have divided those claims into two; we have human rights violations which are several. Some of them are already pending in courts. For others, damages have already been awarded and I want to prioritise their payments. The others are court claims and contract claims against the Government. With regard to the court claims, I have prioritized them into different categories. We ... view
• 1 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have expressed a wish that we should have a proper audit.

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I will be very brief because the Memorandum of His Excellency the President view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in view of the significance that the President attaches to the doctrine of separation of powers, that those issues should receive full ventilation before the Constitutional Court before this House can effect any changes to the law that is being impugned. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to assure the House that the right of the House to make changes to law is a right that must be exercised in a manner that does not compromise any of the constitutional principles. That is the basis upon which His Excellency the President made that rejection. view
• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Elections Act, 2011, on Clause 22(2), be deleted from the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill as recommended by His Excellency the President. The reasons are the same as I had already intimated to the House. Save, I would like to make this clarification: It has not been suggested by the President that each time there is a court case, Parliament cannot move with legislative business.

• 28 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. You must allow me to clarify this. With tremendous respect, I have been the subject of a lot of vilification about things I am alleged to have done. The Bill brought by the Attorney-General speaks for itself.
