• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, again, I wish to commend the hon. Minister for preparing this Bill. Let it be known that in preparing this Bill, there were the widest possible consultations. I for one, together with other Cabinet Ministers, including hon. Kingi, Kajwang and quite a number of others, participated together with the Attorney-General, members of the Law Reform Commission and various leaders from the civil society organizations and other stakeholders. They all actually participated in the formulation of this Bill, even before we started working on the draft. view

• 10 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that would be a matter of opinion. There is no point of order that has been breached.

Article 10 deals with national values and principles of governance. There are similar provisions to that effect. More importantly, Article 94(4) on page 63 says:- “Parliament shall protect this Constitution and promote the democratic governance of the Republic.” Further, ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: So, the judge is saying: “How can the National Assembly consider the provisions that I have read out when it is part of our obligation to defend and protect the Constitution?” We cannot be seen to be going against that finding by the court.

• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I wish to commend the Minister for the work he has done. It is not an easy job making preparations for these Bills. There are quiet a myriad of Bills, which fall under his docket. I think more than any other Minister, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs is burdened with the responsibility of piloting many Bills in this House.
