• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: The reason for moving this Motion is because of the urgency of these two pieces of legislation. It will be recalled that after the First Reading, it was found necessary to withdraw these Bills and that there was need to consult with the newly established Commission on the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC). A lot of progress has been made and now because of the lost time, we feel that we should expedite and fast-track debate on these two very important Bills, without which we will find it difficult to implement the new Constitution. The date of the publication is ... view
• 2 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I would want to ask the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs to kindly second this Motion. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg of the Chair, in the light of what the hon. Member for Yatta and the hon. Member for Mutito have said with regard to this matter being before the Committee, that the question be deferred. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the Standing Order as raised by my friend from Ikolomani. However, in those days when we wrote that Standing Order, we did not then have this openness of society; that a Member sitting where the hon. Member for Naivasha is sitting could always send us a Short Message Service (SMS) or receive a SMS. Therefore, in terms of secrecy of the proceedings of this House, I am sure it will not be difficult for me to convince you that we need even to have a relook at that very Standing Order, so that ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, therefore, want to plead with you to review your ruling since a Departmental Committee is already dealing with this matter, so that the matter does not come up tomorrow afternoon. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, perhaps, we could have this matter also stood over until tomorrow because I have received communication from hon. Dr. Wekesa that he is actually on the way from Kitale and clearly, he may not be able to be here in good time to answer this Question. So, I think it could be deferred until tomorrow afternoon. view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Motion to withdraw these two Bills as eloquently and ably moved by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. Last night, I watched the Chair of CIC, Mr. Nyachae, pronounce himself on the need to do exactly what the Minister proposes to do. That Commission is a creation of this House that rose to the occasion and supported the decision by His Excellency the President to appoint this Commission. This was done, of course, in consultation with the Prime Minister as per the requirements of the Constitution. I think ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, therefore, we consulted widely; we consulted with the Chair and the Minister and I think we are all in agreement that this is the way to go. I do not think we will lose much time. Soon after the Business of the House today, the House Business Committee will meet and be able to look at the issue that you were able to allude to in your comments when you said that, specifically, the President, in consultation with the Speaker, did ask for this special session in order to be able to deal with these two crucial ... view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to say - I am sure that the country will understand - that this House is desirous in our totality, because I have not heard anybody expressing contrary indication. Indeed, when the Minister says that he intends to withdraw, I could hear the foot- thumping. I think this is one matter that we can expeditiously deal with so that we get the Charles Nyachae Commission moving with speed, in consultation with the Law view
• 18 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Reform Commission as well as the Office of the Attorney-General so that in the next few days; a maximum of one or two weeks, they will be set for us to deal with this matter so that the country can see progress with regard to the all important matter of fast-tracking the implementation of the Constitution. Thank you. view
