• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion is based on what transpired around Maseno University on the evening of 12th and the night of that day up to the morning of the 13th when students of the University were making final arrangements for their elections. They gathered at the gate of the University for that purpose. The police from Maseno Police Station and other nearby police stations descended upon them with rungus and firearms and beat them up. The beating continued until the next morning up to the 13th in the afternoon. At the end of it all, three students died, ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: happens where people die, property is damaged and even if the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is on leave, will the CEO not be asked to report back and take charge? In this case, the CEO is on normal leave. He wants to report back and he is told “Do not come back.” Secondly, last week on the night of the 7th and 8th, a funny coincidence happened. Arson occurred at the University and burned down the administration block that houses the finance office. The records that were destroyed were not students’ records. They are finance records. Why would a fire ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: In their attempts to disperse the students on the evening of the 12th into the night and the morning of 13th, did the police use excessive force? I ask this because the students were not armed at all. They were a very happy lot. They were singing and generally very jovial. Secondly, could it be that the University’s administration deliberately incited the police against the students, so that the elections did not take place because their candidate was not going to win? Three, could it be that the fire of last week that destroyed financial records is connected to the ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: These are the issues that I would like the House to look at, so that Maseno University can be brought back to normalcy. It is a national institution and it is in our interest all of us in this House to look into this. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to seek your direction on this matter with utmost respect. Considering that Kenya has domesticated the Rome Statute and it is, therefore, part of our laws; and considering that the issues canvassed are actively in court at the International Criminal Court (ICC), is it proper that we proceed with this at this stage considering the rule of view
• 30 Sep 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not wish to impute improper motive on my learned brother, but there are issues that have been canvassed in that Petition, which the Member, Hon. Nyikal and I have together very extensively discussed. It was agreed that when that petition is ready, we would share it the three of us before it is presented to you. I am surprised it is being presented to you without first sharing it with us as we had agreed. To that extent, therefore, I wish to impute improper motive on the Member. The issues that are canvassed are issues which ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. What Hon. Ochieng is asking you to do is to set a precedent for this House. Indeed, you and this House are standing in a special time in the history of Kenya. You are implementing Standing Orders made under the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. I am glad that you have noticed that Standing Order No. 62 has a lacuna. There is a lacuna because a proper reading of this Standing Order will reveal to you that the issues under discussion are so weighty that the Standing Order says you will ask for a further vote only ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I plead with you to allow the appeal by Hon. Ochieng, because if you do that, you are going to give this House the chance to look back at what we have done and how we can do things in a better way, as we go forward. Hon. Speaker, it falls within your purview. You have the capacity and I humbly request you to allow the appeal by Hon. Ochieng. view

• 19 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this amendment Bill. I congratulate Hon. Kaluma for bringing it up. It is long overdue because this is not only making the doctrine of separation of powers clearer but as we said, it is strengthening it. Those Members of this House who served with me in the last Parliament will remember the classic example of how courts can interfere with the process of this House. Arising with the Kriegler Commission and the Coalition Agreement, the last Parliament had the responsibility of disbanding the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) that was ... view
