• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, Kenya is a very young nation. We are only celebrating our jubilee. About 60 years ago, one Macharia from a village in Gatundu was bribed by the colonialists in order to fabricate evidence against a leader of the African people, once claimed to be the second god of Kenya by the late Oginga Odinga. That was Jomo Kenyatta. Only this year, the United Kingdom, Britain, is now downgrading our own liberation struggle, symbolized by the Mau Mau, from their banned groups and they are purporting to compensate the Mau Mau veterans. view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in 2013, perhaps, because of our political positioning and our own prejudices, we want to deny the truth. We want to feign that we do not know what we know; that America, China and even that very great democracy that is not so well celebrated, although there is a greater celebration than the European nations; that is India have not subjected themselves to what we are subjecting ourselves, yet accept as a nation that the concessions we made because of the Post Election Violence (PEV) were necessary that time and everybody was looking for an escape route to ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, what we are saying is this; it does not help anybody to claim that His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto were not elected transparently, openly, democratically and Kenya is emerging--- view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if we do so, then we are also saying that we do not respect our Constitution because it is the same Constitution that created the Supreme Court. Hon. Speaker from 25th May, 2013 to 27th May, 2013 the African Union, an institution that we respect and, indeed, we even have an institution through this Parliament called the Pan African Parliament which is connected to the African Union, passed a very noble resolution and they regretted. They said that they were stressed and they expressed deep concern about the matter of ICC trial facing President Uhuru Kenyatta and his ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: are very important and we are not--- When Jomo Kenyatta said that this country shall not--- If we are saying that an African Union resolution does not befit--- view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I do not want to go the direction of saying that one of the people heckling me admitted on national television on a Sunday evening that senior USA Senators saying that the ICC is a transgression. It is a trespassing body to the USA sovereignty. You will get expression to the effect that if a matter is not approved or congressionally authorized then that matter is not legitimate to the American mandate. Therefore, we sit as a House and we seek to redeem the Kenyan image. We seek to reiterate that which was done in 2010, 2011 and ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: If you read the Kenya Constitution, the parameters and standards set for the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court, the High Court and even the process that is ongoing in various courts on election petitions it is agreeable that the Kenyan judiciary is being reinvented, fortified, renewed and so if the Kenyan judiciary does not rely on anonymous evidence by the prosecution of any case, but the ICC is relying on anonymous evidence, what does that mean? It means that the ICC’s jurisdiction and its own status are subliminal and lower than the standards that we have set for our ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I have not mentioned anybody, but the guilty are afraid. If you go through the deliberations in the USA Senate with the concurrence of the Congress which is the House of Representatives and in this 11th Parliament, the National Assembly is the House of Representatives; you will get terminologies and reference to--- view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the booing can continue from the same corner and which can depict the integrity of whomever. Hon. Speaker, I rose to speak here at Parliament and I dismissed Maj.Gen. Nkaissery, on the other side of the divide. I can remember that because I discussed the same issue with him that same evening. When I rose to dismiss Ranneberger, I can tell you nothing happened. Within 11 days my own passport was stamped with a visa to go to my former university, the State University of New York, to receive that which I deserved. And I can tell you ... view
• 5 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: from any defeat. Seize the moment and this is your time. Forget about the political differences--- Hon. Speaker, as I finish, with the new judiciary and a new police service and realizing that a lot of information that has been taken to the ICC is through individuals that we know very well, that is, the busy bodies in town which have absolutely zero mandate on representation and legislation, these hon. Members assembled here today, on this special session, are people democratically elected and fairly nominated to represented the sovereign will of the Republic of Kenya. However, AFRICOG which campaigned against ... view
