• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: 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
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to say that I support this Bill because it establishes other stations to ensure equitable access to justice. The fact that we have few Courts of Appeal in this country and yet we have so many cases moving away from the High Court makes it difficult for people who want to have their cases heard there. The establishment of several stations will allow Kenyans to have access to the services of the Court of Appeal. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I agree with the Mover that within the Court of Appeal, the establishment of divisions will also help to create more opportunities for people who want to seek justice in them. I wish to say that the Bill allows the election of the president of the Court of Appeal. We all agree that the Judiciary has to be autonomous not only in its functions, but we must also allow the levels of the courts to have their autonomy. We need to allow the High Court and the Court of Appeal to have autonomy just like we have allowed the Supreme ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: This Bill also gives powers to the president of the Court of Appeal to oversee the proper administration of the courts. The idea of having the courts being managed from elsewhere or by the highest authority, like the president of the Supreme Court, is not good enough. The president shall have the mandate to supervise the administrative activities in the Court of Appeal. That is a very good idea. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The Bill is also good in introducing a calendar. Like my colleagues have said, people would want to know when those courts are working or when the judges have gone on leave so that they can note it in their calendars. The clear show of their working days and the days they are resting is good. It is like what we have in Parliament. view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: I also thought that the way the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has been running the affairs of the Judiciary has not been right. We must voice our concerns on the way the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is dealing with judges. We have so many complaints as we speak. There are Supreme Court Judges who are on strike. This is a matter that needs to be looked into. As my colleague Hon. Millie Odhiambo said, we need to comprehensively look at other levels so that we legislate to address the problems faced by the judges who are working in those courts. ... view
• 15 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: cases should be finalised at the Court of Appeal. Only those cases which are very serious should proceed to the Supreme Court, with the leave of the Court of Appeal. Remember that the Supreme Court has only seven judges. If all the election-related cases were to end up in the Supreme Court, the few judges in the Supreme Court would not be able to manage those cases. Therefore, we need to empower and give more teeth to the Court of Appeal, like this Bill is trying to do. This Bill also talks about how to manage cases and files. When ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also stand to oppose this amendment. The Serjeant-at-Arms officers in this House have the powers of the police, but not all the powers per se . They can even claim powers to shoot whenever they want or to arrest us in this House. As much as I agree with Hon. Duale on some other matters, I do not agree with him on this one. view
