• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I also wish to take this opportunity to, on behalf of the people of Ol Jorok and the people of Nyandarua, condole with the family of our departed colleague. I wish to add that it is high time our bodyguards were trained. view
• 10 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Secondly, investigations must be done and be done thoroughly. There are starting points. We know hon. Muchai had disputes in the labour movement and in the Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU). We also know that he had written to the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) complaining that a matter he had forwarded to them had not been taken seriously. So, when investigating, the investigators have a starting point; we need to erase any doubts as to our colleague’s demise. Finally, I wish to say that it is very sad that in relation to most of the deaths that have ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I wish to support that amendment. The reasoning here is that you give the Law Society of Kenya the freedom to choose who to conduct their elections. In any event, the IEBC has a different mandate and can only be engaged on private basis by the Law Society of Kenya.

The electronic version of the ... view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The amendment we introduced this morning for the Law Society of Kenya is very important. Most of the proposed amendments came from the Law Society of Kenya itself. As a society of the legal fraternity in this country, the Law Society of Kenya needs us to make laws that will be in consonant with the spirit and the progress of that Society at this particular point in time. I am sure that what has gone through this House this morning will be of a lot of benefit to our legal fraternity. I hope that ... view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to ventilate on this very important Bill. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a very important Bill and the fact of the matter is that this House has been urging the Executive to move quickly and take care of the country’s security. Unfortunately, that cannot be done without an appropriate legal framework. So, what this House is trying to do is take its constitutional mandate; to legislate in order to take care of the security of this country. As this country does that, therefore, we are cognizant of the ... view
