• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill. This Bill represents yet another step in Kenya meeting its international obligations and domesticating international standards. It is an important step in establishing Kenya as a leader in the region and, indeed, on the continent in compliance with international law and international standards.

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration Bill, Bill No.65 be now read a Second Time. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it gives me great pleasure to present this Bill for a Second Reading.

• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill. It is the most important Bill for the reasons outlined by the Minister, but more important from where I sit, we are trying to reconstitute this body because currently, its former Chairman has been appointed to the Court of Appeal. He is a very able Chairman who led it for a very long time. We want to bring fresh blood to bring impetus to the constitutional reform generally and law reform specifically. I beg to second. view
