But we certainly undertake to improve the equipment for the Marine Police Unit to make it more effective. view
• 17 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said earlier that the Maritime Police Unit in Lake Victoria operates from Kisumu and not from Kilindini and they have been very effective in dealing with crime in the lake. As I said from the beginning, the lake has been very safe and we would like to thank the residents who operate, do fishing and other businesses using the lake for that very good behaviour. But I have undertaken to improve or increase the number of policemen and also give them more equipment to make the unit more effective. But, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view

• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to warn members of the public that selling ID cards is a crime. Once the law enforcement officers catch up with them, they will end up in jail. It appears that Mr. Ojaamong has some useful information that can help us arrest those people. So, if he can get in touch with me to give me the information, we will be in a hurry to get hold of those people selling ID cards in his constituency. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have answered the Question as asked by Mr. M.Y. Haji. If May 16, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1387 he wants to give some other information to the House, he is free to do so. But I do not see any reason why this Question should be deferred when all the information he has asked for in the Question has been given to him. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Motion is unconstitutional, because it seeks to take away the responsibility of the Executive to negotiate treaties in international law on behalf of the Kenyan State, and bring it to the Legislative arm. Requiring all treaties to be brought here, is taking away that responsibility, which is already given to the Executive by the concept of separation of powers in the Constitution. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that can be done. I am not saying that it cannot be done. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was arguing that this particular Motion goes against the spirit of the Constitution, that separates the responsibilities and mandate of the Legislative and Executive arms of Government. Negotiation and ratification of treaties is the mandate of the Executive arm of the Government. view
• 16 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not reading. This is because the separation of powers is not provided by a specific provision of the Constitution. It is the way our Constitution is designed that provides for separation of powers. We have specific sections of the Constitution which give mandate to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial arms of the Government. This is what we call separation of powers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, negotiation and ratification of treaties is a mandate of the Executive arm of the Government. So, when we bring an ordinary Motion here to ... view
