  • 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very useful. view
  • 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
  • 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I got the information from the gracious lady, what Mr. M. Kilonzo has presented to this House as information are expressions of “thank you.” If you want to give a senior lawyer like me information, give me substance and not rhetoric! view
  • 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Ms. Karua was exactly on the point the Court of Appeal made that when there is power to appoint, to revoke or reappoint you must follow the same procedure. You will remember that those who were bewildered by the powers of the President, and I am also bewildered that Mr. Murungi who all the time during Moi’s tenure used to talk about the imperial presidency--- To the hon. Member, it looks like the day begins and ends with the presidency, and yet the world is larger than that. The hon. Member should know this. view
  • 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: This point is so basic that we cannot run away from it. I am glad that the Chair has given us time to air our views because it is better to view this matter broadly and look at the law. When I read Mr. M.

In saying that, I think that the House has to see this as a competition between the Executive and Parliament. Parliament is the supreme law making organ in this country. If you look at the relevant legislation, Parliament is not a passenger. It is required to give approval of the appointment of the director of Kenya Anti Corruption Commission (KACC). It is only upon the approval by Parliament. Parliament’s hands are also tied. We can only give approval on the basis of the ... view
  • 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: With those remarks I beg to oppose. In opposing, I am using my conscience and not my stomach! view
  • 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I need to get some clarification because there is a veiled threat that is coming from the Chair that if I want to speak in a certain way, I must do certain things in a certain way. This is a very important issue because we must find a balance between the Constitution and my right to speak my mind in Parliament; the Constitution is supreme. By the way, I was in this House when a Member of this House was murdered and the Government was required to vote in a particular ... view
  • 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Earlier on, you were very strict even on me on the issue of points of order.
