• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on other legislation, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission Act, 2011, we all remember that it has happily been enacted. Commissioners have been nominated and appointed. The Commission has recently issued draft salaries and remuneration regulations for public comments. I think they went the extra mile and made other pronouncements. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this, in a nutshell, is where we are. Of course, Members will remember the Commission on Revenue Allocation, which has proceeded to make quite an announcement and, therefore, ensuring that there is a huge conversation around this subject, which is very healthy for the country. I thank you. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, although you had given five slots, I am happy that the four have done very well. In fact, two of them, namely Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona and hon. Isaac Ruto are concerned about the timelines. I agree with them that we have to make sure that these pieces of legislation are brought before this House, not in August, but, say, by June. I think that is where the issue is. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement that I have issued, I gave some kind of a matrix, which I will be able to happily give to the Clerk. However, these two observations are valid. The Attorney-General is here. In fact, he came to support and enrich this position--- He is the person with the “hands on” information regarding the position. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe at some stage, immediately after what I say, the Attorney-General would like to help me with regard to the issue of the two-thirds gender rule because the Cabinet had approved that the date of election was supposed to be the 17th of December, 2012. This, as Rachel Shebesh says, was also supposed to cover the two-thirds gender rule. I have personally even been lobbied by women leaders who are very concerned by this matter. It is like literally throwing the baby together with the bath water. Therefore, this is a matter that all of us have ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: The reason I thought the Attorney-General will need to help me is because the matter of the Commissioner representing the PSC serving within the JSC is a matter, I am sure, the Attorney-General might want to address. This is because I am not fully in the picture on that particular matter. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I actually said nothing in real terms. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: We know that this is a matter that, again, is engaging Kenyans in a very healthy conversation. We know that the courts of justice have pronounced themselves over this matter. We have heard of the date of 4th of March. The Prime Minister was here when he said that he personally prefers December. I actually concur with him. Like him, I would want elections this year. Some of us went out to print materials written 2012. I think it was hon. Milly Odhiambo who said that the country is in an election mood. This is actually truthfully the case. So, ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot pretend that the matter is clear in my own mind. I would be very surprised if it is clear in yours, Mr. Speaker. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I sincerely wish that I could speak with clarity on this matter. As I stand before the House, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) pronounced a date following the determination by the courts. As I said, we had brought a Bill here which talked about 17th December, but it was withdrawn. We know that the matters are still before the courts of justice. This is why nobody can pretend at this stage to know about the election date other than going by what the IEBC have actually pronounced, which is 4th of March, 2013. view
