• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rarely speak. If you look at the difference between the new amendment and the Motion that was lost this morning, you will find that there is substitution. This morning, we were talking about “disciplined forces” but now it has been changed to read “uniformed forces”. The two words mean the same thing with respect to the forces. Therefore, whether it is a uniformed force or a disciplined force, to me, it is the same Motion. Is it in order to introduce the Motion now a few hours after it ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a similar amendment which I will withdraw, because it is exactly the same as hon. Murugi’s amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support this amendment. We do not really need to define when life begins because we know when it begins. Also, with respect to deprivation of life, we do not really need to define when life can be deprived. It suffices to say: “Everybody has a right to life.” view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sub-clause 4 about abortion, while it is right that abortion is not permitted, this article gives room, or opens a window, for abortion to occur, which is wrong. It says: “In the opinion of a trained health professional”; we know that the health professionals have various opinions. They include Dr. Khalwale; he is a trained professional. So, we do not want to have a situation, where we have legalized abortion just because we have opened a window for an opinion to be expressed. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really support the amendment that we delete Clauses 2, 3 and 4 and just leave this article to say: “Every person has a right to life.” view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, which I have been waiting for since last week. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: At the outset, I would like to thank all those people who have been involved in the Constitution-making process right from the day we set up the Constitution of Kenya Review Commission (CKRC). Particular thanks go to the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Commission (PSC) on constitutional review, and his Vice-Chairman, for their dedication and perseverance. The two young Parliamentarians have shown a lot of patience during all this time. view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this has been a very long process. Although some people have said that this process started immediately after Independence, 22 years ago, Kenyans realised that we were not headed for the right direction, and that we needed a new Constitution. Kenyans realised that equity and justice were a far cry in this country and, therefore, we needed a new Constitution to correct the injustices that were building up. One aspect that came out very clearly is that we needed to devolve power and resources, so that the people could have power and money. That is the ... view
• 30 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you. When Mr. Jirongo was making his contribution, I actually listened very carefully. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that the rights of every Kenyan wherever they are will be protected by the laws of this country. Nobody is saying that if we have a devolved system, you will be sent away from where you live now. Devolution says that power and resources will be devolved to the people. view
