• 2 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to wish my hon. colleagues well during the next two or so weeks. It is a recess that is very well earned. When we resumed, as a Special Session, our mission was very clear. It was necessary for us to pass the Judicial Service Bill as well as the Vetting of Judges and Magistrates Bill. Both of these Bills are now awaiting Presidential assent and I am sure by the time this House gets back after two weeks or so, His Excellency the President will have assented to these very ... view

• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am informed that the hon. Minister for Labour is out of the country. However, that does not mean that the Ministry should not be able to deal with this Question because Mr. Ojaamong should be around. So, I will follow up this matter. Could it be listed for Tuesday, if the Member for Gichugu would not mind? view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to make the following Statement which was consolidated with the Question appearing in today’s Order Paper as Question One by Private Notice by the Member for Ikolomani and it was to do with the shuttle diplomacy and the ICC. I am pleased to make a statement on a subject that has lately attracted much public attention and concern. This is the subject of the relationship between Kenya and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Hon. Members will recall that Kenya ratified the Rome Statute for the establishment of the ICC in March, 2005 and subsequently domesticated ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Hon. Members may already be aware that the social disruption Kenya suffered severely tested the nerve of governance structures, social cohesion and nationhood. Fortunately, we proceeded to renegotiate the terms of governance of our country. We established the Grand Coalition Government as a show of unity, commenced a process of facing up to the truth and the realization of justice and reconciliation; a process of national cohesion and integration and the resettlement of internally displaced members of our society. Above all, we conducted the greatest and most refreshing public dialogue of our time that led to the writing of a ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge the hon. Members and the whole nation to understand that the troubles that we faced in the aftermath of the December, 2007 General Elections have multiple dimensions. On one dimension, we need to deliver justice for the victims. On a second dimension, we need to heal and reconcile our communities, rebuild our nationhood, safeguard peace and social stability and guarantee economic stability and growth that we now know is quite vulnerable. The final dimension is that we need to regain our national pride and distinguished regional and international standing as a country that is nowhere ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank my hon. colleagues for raising fairly important thoughts, because they are truly worth listening to. First of all, the hon. Member for Ikolomani quoted the Constitution extensively, and I thank him for that. He has been able to advise me against undertaking what he calls “futile exercise”. I want to assure him that this is not an exercise in futility. If he listened carefully to the Statement that I made, first of all, we got our country back. I want to thank Kenyans because initially, they were of the same view with hon. Khalwale. They ... view

Benjamin Lagat. Of course, I cannot refer to Ogindo. Finally, I would like thank hon. Sheikh Dor, because he raised a very important matter, which I want to comment on finally. The issue here--- view
