• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: We want to walk the talk; therefore, I beg to move this Motion and I want to donate my time. I will donate two minutes to the hon. John Lodepe, two minutes to hon. Rasso and finally two minutes to hon. Nyamweya. view
• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. I wish to move. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I wish to make some comments regarding this particular Report, the main reason being that, I am one of the Members who had sought certain clarifications from this Committee. Pertaining to the issues that I had raised, I have not been satisfied by the Report as it is before the House. I say that because when I raised my issues sometimes back, I was doing so in very good faith and with the believe that the Committee would go and carry out interviews, do some research and come back to the House with a detailed ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Really, what I am saying is that, even though the Attorney General has attempted to address the issues that are raised, I am not convinced by the position he has given the Committee, which the Committee has happily adopted. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: When the Chairman of the Committee asked me to come and attend the session, really, I was away and that is not a crime. But, then, the Committee did go ahead and interviewed the Attorney General and, for sure, the Committee is composed of Members of Parliament from both sides of the House. I am sure the interrogation was adequate. Really, without belabouring the point, what I am saying is that, even though we know that the AU Resolution - the Resolution of the 21st Ordinary Session in Addis - was collective, what I would have expected the Attorney-General to ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I thought I was communicating in very plain language that my issue from the outset was to understand the Kenya Government’s position on that Resolution. Therefore, I expected the Government to say that the Government of Kenya stands by that Resolution or is a party to that Resolution. It should not say that, that Resolution was collective. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. For sure, you know that the Motion at hand has got no relationship with the Report he has tabled in this House. To conclude, and without dwelling on semantics, the fact still remains that this Report is not satisfactory, in my view. view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Of course, I have read it, hon. Speaker, Sir. That is why I am talking about it. Finally, the Attorney-General talks about the Kenya Government having formed a Cabinet Committee to co-ordinate the International Criminal Court (ICC) cases. I would have expected the Committee to come clear on this matter and tell us who the members of that Committee are. That is because the first time we had a Cabinet Committee on the ICC was during the Grand Coalition Government. Since the Jubilee Government came to power, there has been no reference to that Committee. Therefore, can the Chairman of ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank hon. wa Kabando for saying what is in the public domain. When the Kenya Parliament passed a resolution that the Government should withdraw from the Rome Statute, if the Government agreed with Parliament, it should have gone ahead and applied for the withdrawal from the Rome Statute. There are procedures to follow when you want to withdraw. You cannot withdraw from the Rome Statute en mass as Africa. You can only withdraw as Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe or Tanzania. Therefore, the position of the Kenya Government in so far as the ICC issue is ... view
• 4 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to oppose the Report in totality. view
