• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really do not want to go into the details of the economic importance of this road to the region. However, if the tender for repair and rehabilitation was done in June, 2008, could the Assistant Minister tell me exactly when work will start on this road? I am more interested in the results and not the process. view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister has still not made it clear to me on which tender was done. Was it for the maintenance or for comprehensive repair of Rodi-Kopany-Karungu Road? Could he clarify the one in process? Is this different or it is the temporary measures he is referring to here in the answer? view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Rodi-Kopany-Karungu Road is 48 kilometres and Kshs2 million is too little. I had expected the Assistant Minister to give a commitment that, in the financial year 2009/2010, that road will be allocated enough money for comprehensive repairs and rehabilitation. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that? view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, all of us will agree that the main reasons why Kenyans wanted reforms and a new Constitution was to have the Judiciary reformed. Kenyans felt disappointed from the lowest to the highest of the society. Many of us have heard complaints about cases they have in court, which are determined in a way that does not please the society. This kind of a problem in the Judiciary climaxed when immediately after elections, a section of the society which felt aggrieved could not go to court. That is how bad the Judiciary had become in the eyes ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I find it very difficult to support this Bill in its current form. Those who have spoken before me have cited Clause 9(14). If you look at this clause closely, even though the Bill gives a clear procedure of constituting the Board, which will subsequently vet the judges, this particular clause is erasing all the good provisions in this Bill. It is like giving with your right hand and taking away with the left hand. This particular provision says that nothing under this clause shall be construed as precluding the President, in consultation, with the Prime ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Let me tell you what is going to happen. We will pass this Bill and make it an Act of Parliament and tomorrow you will see the President appointing the members of the Board without any due regard to what Kenyans want. This is not the first time that we are making an attempt to reform the Judiciary. Mr. Musila talked about the radical surgery of 2003, which turned out to be ethnic cleansing of the Judiciary. What happened is the removal of senior people from some ethnic communities and leaving of members of other ethnic communities in the Judiciary. ... view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to take the hon. Members to Clause 12(6), which states that notwithstanding the provisions of subclause (5), the President may, for the purposes of filling a vacancy, select a nominee from the list of candidates forwarded by the Public Service Commission (PSC) under Clause 9(6). I want a clarification on this. Below Section 9(6), there is Clause 9(8) which gives Parliament the power to approve the nominations. This particular section is very silent about whether that section will still be applied. We have had in the past cases where the initial appointments get ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to oppose the proposed amendment. If you look at the recommendation which is proposed to be deleted, according to me, this is the core of this Report. It is true from the Report that Mr. Kimunya went to the Committee on 21st May and told the Committee that Grand Regency Hotel had not been sold yet on 8th of the same month, which is two weeks before, the Central Bank of Kenya had already received part payment for the hotel. At the time, when Mr. Kimunya appeared before the Committee, they realised that already ... view
• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, yesterday I listened attentively to Mr. Kimunya trying to explain why he took the position that he took when he presented himself before the Committee and I realised that he decided to jump from being an accountant to a lawyer by insisting that he felt that the hotel had not been sold by the mere fact that the transfer of title had not been made. view
