• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: (b) I have directed the Solicitor-General to take up this matter immediately with the Permanent Secretary, and to ensure that the payment is effected as soon as is practically possible. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I very deeply sympathize with Mr. Omar Salim Mohammed. Regrettably, I am only an attorney to the Ministry, and the funds must be availed by the Ministry. I will use all my powers – persuasive powers and all other legal powers - to try and expedite this payment. I will be the first to admit that six years is, indeed, a long time. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to meet the hon. Member half way. I want to amend my answer by saying, I shall personally take up this matter with the Minister in charge and I shall pursue the cheque myself. As to when this will be possible, I would not wish to commit, safe to say, I would do everything in my power. view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, I have Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to add this; there are numerous claims pending against the Republic of Kenya. I would not wish that the channel for obtaining satisfaction of decrees should be by an order of the Speaker. I would wish to be able to pursue individual Ministries with all the available channels. I think that would give us a more orderly fashion. There are several hon. Members here who have written to me and those who have spoken to me about similar situations. I would like to assure the House that I will do ... view
• 13 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank the three hon. Members for their advice. I shall take the suggestions very seriously. In the specific case brought this afternoon, I shall endevour that within a month, I procure a payment from that Ministry. view

• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to apologize for coming into the Chamber late. I was trying to familiarize myself with the geography of the House. However, I beg to reply. (a) The Attorney-General is aware that Mr. Joel Mbugua has been in remand at the Industrial Area Prison for the last one year and two months. He was charged with Criminal Case No.4199 of 2010 with the offence of obtaining money by false pretence. He was granted bail but was unable to raise the bail amount despite the court varying the amount. (b) The Attorney-General ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I want to very respectfully agree with the Chair entirely on its interpretation of the law. It cannot be open to the Attorney-General to discuss matters that are pending in court, for example, the merits or demerits of actions taken by judicial officers. Having said that, I want to reassure this House, as my first act as the Attorney- General, that I am personally, and my office, committed to a criminal justice system that is fair, expeditious; that considers and treats the Kenyan people in the manner anticipated by our new Constitution. This House, in ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to assure Mr. Imanyara, and hon. Members, that I will take such steps within the law to allow for a review of the case facing Mr. Joel Mbugua Waweru and also all those cases facing Kenyans in our justice system who have been unduly incarcerated before their trials. view
