• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: “ If criminal proceedings are instituted against an officer, or where an officer has been acquitted of a criminal charge in a court of law, the authorised officer, shall not, however, be prevented from dismissing him or her, or otherwise punishing on any other charge arising out of his conduct in the matter”. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The Ministry applied this provision of the code of regulations in conjunction with the provisions of the Prisons Act, Chapter 90 (16) and the Public Service Commission Act, Chapter 185(40)(31) of the Prisons Service regulations. The due process, I am convinced, was followed and the Public Service Commission retired the officers in public interest. (c) An internal Government investigation was carried out following the very famous prisons officers’ strike. I specifically appointed a high level committee immediately after the strike to review the state of discipline of prisons officers, among other matters, and make appropriate recommendations for implementation. The Report ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to retirement benefits, among the nine officers who were retired, six of them received their final dues. The remaining three who were in issue have not submitted the requisite documents for processing payment of the retirement benefits. I want to confirm here that if Samu has actually submitted her documents, I will ensure that she is paid expeditiously. It is important to note that these officers were eventually retired under public interest. At the time, I had to make a very strong intervention because the other military commanders, as I indicated when I answered ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 36(4) I stand to make the following Statement. Let me start by commending hon. Members for remaining steadfast and zealous in executing their mandate of handling House business in a vibrant and non-partisan manner. Recently, we have been treated to both prime time and headline news in our local media houses, highlighting impeding failure by this House to deliver key constitutional Bills as per the 26th August, 2011, deadline. Some Kenyans feel that our Constitution implementation conveyor belt is rolling, but churning out very few legislative proposals. On this, let me ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.36(4), I take this opportunity to make the following Statement with regard to the business for the following week. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, allow me to convey my best wishes to all Members of this House following the resumption of our business last Tuesday. After the month-long recess, I believe that Members have come back fresh, re-energized - and shall I say re- wired - and ready to discharge our national duties. Without re-emphasizing the enormity in variety of legislative business before us, I am comforted by the fact that we have managed to cover substantial ground, especially in debate and passage of key Bills, especially the ones expected to anchor our new Constitution. view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are hopeful and ready to enjoy the new judicial dispensation in Kenya. The Chief Justice, his Deputy and Director of Public Prosecutions are now in office and are properly seized of the matters affecting our Judiciary. Also, the earlier apprehension and fear over the delay of our electoral legislation has been allayed by the recently assented to Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act of 2011. Already, proposed nominees to the selection panel have been submitted by the Principals and are awaiting vetting by Parliament, pursuant to provisions of the First Schedule of the Independent Electoral and ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding our business for next week, the House is expected to deliberate on the Motion to adopt the Budget Committee Report on Annual Estimates for the Financial Year 2011/2012, as we await the maturity of the following Bills: The Political Parties Bill (Bill No.20) of 2011, the Commission on Administrative of Justice Bill (Bill No.21) of 2011, the Kenya National Human Rights Commission Bill (Bill No.22) of 2011 and the National Gender and Equality Commission Bill (Bill No.23) of 2011. Also lined up for debate is the Unclaimed Financial Assets Bill (Bill No.7) of 2011 and any ... view
• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, finally, as usual, the House Business Committee will re- convene on Tuesday 26th July, to consider the business for the following week. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek the indulgence of the House and to report that hon. Michuki would have wanted to answer this Question. He is indisposed and his Assistant Ministers are out of town. He requested the Office of the Leader of Government Business to communicate this matter, through you, that this Question be deferred to next week and, indeed, any other Question that relates to the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources. view
