• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Chairlady, I just wanted to point out this, which I think is a very important point. One of the purposes of this Commission is to ensure compliance with Chapter Six of the Constitution; to subject everybody to integrity, vetting and all that. It will, therefore, be wrong if we can subject judges to vetting and there is a Commission that is going to vet all of us that for their purposes they are not being vetted. I think that would not serve the purposes of the Republic. Therefore, the proposal by the Minister makes a lot of sense. ... view

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that The Citizenship and Immigration Bill, Bill No.40 of 2011, be now read a Third Time. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to agree with the Chairman of the Committee. Offences under the Constitution must be clearly defined. We have situations where these insertions are including offences which makes it like a “catch all” situation. I am just giving this as an example; on page 2090 of the Bill, there is an offence there which is titled “misuse of donor funds or property.” It says:- “A person who dishonestly appropriates anything whether property or otherwise-- -“ That “otherwise” in a criminal offence leaves a lot of things in doubt. “which has been donated to himself or ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just noted that probably hon. Kimunya did not thank the Temporary Deputy Speaker because he is sitting in half the Chair. Could you sit in the Chair fully? view

• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose this further amendment to the amendment for a very good reason. Article 79 of the Constitution actually gives a command to Parliament, that the law we are making should ensure compliance, which means that it is not about punishment, but rather about providing a legal framework for state officers to behave well. If we go particularly to Article 76(2), we will see that it is not a prohibition. It is not saying that you cannot have an account. It says you will have an account but in accordance with an Act of ... view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to propose a further amendment to Clause 21. The Clause says: “In civil proceedings before the court.” I beg to move:- THAT, the word “civil” be deleted and replaced with the words: “In any proceedings before the court”. view
• 25 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I find that new clause superfluous. If you look at Clause 26, which we have just passed, it says that; “The Chief Justice may in consultation with the Committee make rules for regulating the practice and procedure of the court”. Now, this one says: “The Chief Justice will make rules to regulate the conduct of proceedings in the court”. It is one and the same thing; the functions are exactly the same as in Clause 26. In fact, the provision in Clause 26 is broader, because it is about the entirety of the practice and procedure. ... view
