• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I listened keenly to your very profound Communication this afternoon on the joint Report on the alleged importation of illegal and contaminated sugar. In your Communication, you stressed that our oversight functions elevate us to the status of the High Court. You also said that we must apply the rules of natural justice. I want to add very humbly that we must also apply the law that has been passed and enacted by this very House. We cannot be rubberstamps. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: My simple question today is whether all nominees comply with Section 2 of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) Act. It is my considered opinion that my colleague, Hon. Kimunya, has put it very clearly. We, as a House, cannot pass laws that will then be challenged in the courts of this country. Given that this is a House of records, you implored us today to act The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 30 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: with integrity that borders on infallibility. We swore to uphold the Constitution of Kenya. Hence we must ask ourselves whether these nominees comply with Section 2 of the SRC Act. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Most importantly is the amendment on the Judicial Service Act, No. 1 of 2011, which proposes to delete the expression “within three days of receipt of the name” and substitute therefor the expression “within three days after approval by the National Assembly”. Why? It is because, when you look at the final Report on the Constitution which was known as “TheReview Commission Final Report” or “The Ghai Report”, this is what was reported as to what the people said. On page 313 of the Report, it was stated that the Judicial Service Commission should have its membership drawn from the ... view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I have used this example to show that in the redraft of Yash Pal Ghai lies the entire history of the Constitution-making process. It is, therefore, important that we must read it to understand what it is that the people of Kenya wanted. The Legislature and the President are vetted by the people of Kenya.

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: of this commission and his various networks that will rush to court to challenge this amendment. Yash Pal Ghai and his organisation called Katiba Institute have gained enormously from the constitutional review process of our country. This gain has been private by ways of contributions to their organisations. He gets funding to file or be enjoined in what is known as strategic impact legislation. No one to date has questioned this. We all know that Maina Kiai vs Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) petition sought amongst other declarations that presidential results at the constituency level would be final and ... view
