• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: When we make reference to the Standing Orders, we need to be very clear. You have just referred us to the one on personal conduct. We have not been discussing any personal conduct here. We have been discussing accountability issues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, because of time I will just say two things. One, it may be so easy to look at the alleged crime and even think that those people do not deserve to be released on bond. Wait until the same starts getting abused by the State. The right to bond or bail is guaranteed under Article 49 of the Constitution. You can only deny someone that right if there is a compelling reason for not releasing them. I am not defending Arama or whoever because they are our colleagues but this should go to any ... view
• 26 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: doing in terms of arresting people who are stealing our funds. However, let them be cautious not to be used by… view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I want to contribute very quickly because you warned us that we should take only one minute. As I support the Petition, I ask myself why we always want to reinvent the wheel. Apart from handling this matter, the Departmental Committee on Lands should take all the previous reports on land grabbing in this country, illegal land acquisition, Ndung’u Report and Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Report. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, our reluctance as a nation to discuss these matters and agree is what is causing the problems. It will not spare any region, any community or any group. For the first time, I am hearing Kimani Ichung’wah talking about land injustices. It is something that he could not say a few months ago. I am shocked and impressed because, at least, as a country… view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that my Whip, Hon. Junet Mohamed, has raised is very fundamental and goes to the core and heart of the Constitution. The people of Kenya, while enacting this Constitution in 2010, decided to delegate their sovereign power to three arms of Government: the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. And it was for good reason. In fact, it may not sound so prominent, but I would say that look at Article 1(3) where the sovereign power is delegated. The first delegation is given to Parliament and the legislative assemblies, meaning that the people of Kenya want ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: So, the three arms of Government are exercising delegated authority or sovereignty of the people. More fundamentally is that each arm of Government is supposed to enjoy some level of independence if we are to operate in a democratic society. We need to be allowed to exercise independence. It would not make sense if the National Assembly is going to prescribe into details what the Judiciary and/or Executive is supposed to do. It is equally expected that both the Executive and the Judiciary would also respect the independence of Parliament, so that Parliament is not controlled from elsewhere. We have ... view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Equally, we also want to ask the Judiciary to be careful so that they do not infringe and interfere with other organs of Parliament, especially where the interference is in direct violation of the Constitution. view
• 21 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to quickly mention some Articles of the Constitution which I feel are in order, if at all an order was issued by the Judge. I think it is where there is interference with our independence. view
