• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. Members of this House swore to uphold the Constitution and the laws of our country. One of the laws of this country are the Standing Orders of this House. Standing Order No.198(2) sets out the Departmental Committees of the House. One of the Committees of the House, in which I have the privilege of serving, is the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. One of the duties of that Committee is to scrutinize affairs relating to corruption, among others. view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: We cannot adjourn the House when there are serious national issues that need to be attended to. The issue that has now arisen is the reappointment of the Director of Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC) by His Excellency the President. Time has come for the Executive to understand very clearly that this House is not an appendage of the Executive. It should not be used as a rubber stamp. The appointment of Justice Ringera has nothing to do with him as a person or as a lawyer. The House must look at how he was appointed and if the law has ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs stood before the House and spoke about mixing dirty water and clean water, without specifying what dirty water means. I believe he was, in a way, referring to the appointment and saying that although His Excellency made a mistake, it was not for him to say so. But I challenge the Attorney-General, who is the advisor to the Government, to tell this House in unequivocal terms whether the appointment is according to the law or not. We cannot have the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and ... view
• 2 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Emotions could run high but I think it is important that we remain civil. Did you hear Mr. Murungi refer to points of order being frivolous? In my view, that is derogatory and he owes the House an apology. view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister explain to the House the overriding criteria used in deciding to create divisions and districts, in terms of size and population? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the hon. Assistant Minister to say that it is Mr. Mungatana who has said that it is for the convenience of the House when “convenience of the House” is set out clearly in the Standing Orders? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Motion was moved and seconded by Mr. Haji. Is the Minister in order now to speak in support of the Motion when he was the Seconder? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a lot respect for Prof. Anyang’-Nyong’o, and I do not want to interrupt him. But as we are debating this, do you notice that Mr. Midiwo and Mr. Thuo are very busy doing something in the House? view
• 1 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to seek your direction before the hon. Minister goes on with the names of the possible appointees because two weeks ago, I asked for the appointment of the Tribunal. But under Part III Section 5 of the Political Parties Act, the setting up of the Tribunal is subject to approval by Parliament. That, notwithstanding, among the Committees of this House, it is the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, which I have the privilege of view
