• 16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I would like to sincerely thank all the Members who have supported this Motion. I just want to note that these appointments are not the only ones on offer so far. Certainly, there are several senior positions that are yet to be filled in the Government of Kenya. It is not these few positions that will show the face Kenya in a single nomination. The face of Kenya will be seen within the total context of the appointments of the Government. That is where the face of Kenya should be seen. view

• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, some of these are procedural while others are functional. So, I will point out the ones that are functional as I make the proposals. In part (i), we are deleting the proposed amendment to Section 2. This is just a definition of the “Cabinet Secretary”. In part (ii), we are deleting the proposed amendment to Section 8(1), which refers to a Speaker of Parliament. There is no Speaker of Parliament. There is the Speaker of the National Assembly and the Speaker of the Senate. view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: In part (iii), we are deleting the proposed amendment to section 8(4). In part (vi) we are deleting the proposed amendment to section 8(7). This is actually the same as in the Principal Act. I do not know how this was done but we will look at it later. In part (v), we are deleting the proposed amendment to Section 8(8). This amendment is almost identical to the Principal Act. In part (vi), we are deleting the proposed amendment to Section 9. In part (vii), we are deleting the proposed amendment to Section 13(1). view
• 1 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, our justification is the fact that treaty and agreement making is a multilateral and bilateral function of the Executive. That function is fully bestowed on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Attorney-General is the custodian of the legal instruments. We want to vest the treaty and agreement making powers to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. That is the rationale behind the proposed amendments. view
