• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion. Sessional Papers are very important. They originate from the Executive. They are the source documents for policy formulation. The Jubilee Administration would like to formulate many policies that will implement the manifesto they presented during the election time. Therefore, it will be very good to fast-tract this policy document as quickly as possible. Arising from the passage of the Procedural Motion under Order No.8, we are now going to have, from yesterday up to 3rd December when this House will go for the long recess, 16 sitting days doing ... view

• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the Leader of the Majority Party in his amendment. I want to say that one of the main objectives of the media is to inform the public. As much as we are doing this, I would also urge the media not to misinform. If you look at what my colleague (Prof.) Nyikal has been saying - I just want to allay the fears. Reading from the same script with my colleague, Hon. Wamalwa if you look at Article 33(3), it states:- “In the exercise of the right to freedom of ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to bring to your attention that we are discussing something to do with order in the House. I wanted to ask you whether the Member for Dagoretti North is in order to say that the Speaker will misuse his powers. The Speaker is the head of this House and he is the one who brings order to this House. I believe that, that is what you had in mind by telling him that he should not proceed in that direction. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support this Bill. Let me start by saying that this Bill will give effect to Article 48 of our Constitution together with Article 169 but very importantly is Article 48 which says access to justice. It says that the State shall ensure access to justice for all persons and if any fee is required, it shall be reasonable and shall not impede access to justice. Therefore, the main objective of this Bill is to access justice with a very affordable fee. I think this Bill has done exactly that because this Small ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: proceedings, equal opportunity to access judicial services, fairness of the entire process and simplicity of the procedure. Clause 34 talks about expeditious disposal of the case. What is making access to justice very expensive at the moment for a large population of Kenyans is the fact that these courts are not accessible to the lower levels of this country and again the costs of the entire process are high. But I think that will be cured with this Bill. If you look at what is happening now, you will realise that the entire process is very rigorous and the Bill ... view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: The final point and the most important aspect of this court is that it is good to know the ceiling of the small claims being handled by this Bill is Kshs100,000 though the Chief Justice is allowed to increase it through a Gazette Notice if need be. I want to say that the simplicity as has been said by my colleagues of allowing even other languages other than Kiswahili and English will enable mwananchi to express his case using the local language at the grassroots level. So, that simplicity is the main advantage of this Bill because the complicated legal ... view
