• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just gave my personal preference which has nothing to do with the date as enunciated by the IEBC. Therefore, I think it is good we separate the matters. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I am allowed to think. This reminds me of a joke that we used to hear a long time ago, that in a secondary school boardroom where teachers met for discussion, the colonial teachers asked one of the Kenyan teachers, black as you and I: “Who allowed you think?” That is, of course, on a lighter note. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reality of the matter is that we did not prosecute that business before this House, because of the events that took place. So, that is the actual position. As I said, I will ask the Attorney General to further clarify. But, the matter Under Article 80 on Leadership and Integrity is what the Member for Gwasi actually tried to deal with. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the remarks by my learned friend, the Member for Budalang’i, have actually enriched all of us. This is because that was just giving the historical perspective and I think it is harmless. But the reality is that this matter is not being prosecuted before the House. But that does not mean that we cannot continue. We are a listening Government and we are also listening to comments. Even as we listen, we also take cognizance of the fact of judicial decisions have been made on some of these matters. Article 80 on Leadership and Integrity is part ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could he do this on Thursday, next week? view

• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, all of us are aware of the process that these nominations has taken. This is one of those processes with the requirement that the two principals do consult and make their presentation to you. All of us know that this matter has taken so long. The Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs made a recommendation and that recommendation was not approved by this House. In your own ruling, you felt that the Leader of Government Business would need to present another Motion. view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: I want to make it very clear to all the hon. Members of this House that full and complete consultations have taken place. The two principals have adequately consulted, as a result of which we were given the mandate to bring the names again to this House, in accordance with your ruling. Therefore, the Government is unanimous on this matter. Mr. Speaker, Sir, those who have been following the happenings and goings on at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), commonly referred to as “Integrity House”, know that even employees with ordinary contracts that needed renewal now feel threatened. Their ... view
• 10 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank hon. Members, including my good friend, the Member for Ikolomani for the contributions made. This is the standard we expect in this country where matters are adequately dealt with and with great patience. I have no doubt that these three Commissioners now do meet the standard of being probed adequately. I do not want to vouch for an individual’s integrity but I started by saying that there are no angels in this country. We have to give these three Kenyan professionals an opportunity to serve. I have no doubt in my mind that ... view
