• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether to hold on for a minute for the sake of those who are leaving, since I have only got five minutes. It could be very good if hon. Members could walk out quietly. It would really help. view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Since the promulgation of our Constitution on 27th August, 2010, when we literally rewrote the history of this country and the second Republic was reborn, we have made tremendous achievement, albeit sometimes against great difficulty. I want to congratulate all of us for having today done what the country was expecting us to do, namely; to put in place the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution. We have literally now done the right thing because we expect that when the House next meets, the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution under the chairmanship of ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for making it clear that under Standing Order No.40 the Chair has already ruled that the presence of the Prime Minister is not mandatory. I think matters should be allowed to rest at that. On the other hand, we are all aware of the gravity of the situation that is facing this nation as a result of the proceedings by Mr. Ocampo at the International Criminal Court (ICC). I want to assure this House and the country that the Government is seized with this matter. As I speak, His Excellency the President has ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the Member for Ikolomani wants the person of the Prime Minister before this House, of course, the Prime Minister, under the Standing Orders, should find it possible to issue a Statement with regard to co-ordination of Government business without necessarily doing that during the Prime Ministers Question Time. However, allow me to comment on what my learned friend, hon. Wamalwa has just said. He attributed to the Cabinet what I can confirm was never discussed. The Cabinet of the Republic of Kenya would not have discussed pulling out of the Rome Statute. It is important ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 20 (3), this House resolves to sit on Thursday, 16th December, 2010, from 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand up pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 20(3) with regard to the sittings of this House. The reason for moving this Motion is pretty obvious. Tomorrow, being a Thursday, this House ordinarily sits in the afternoon. But the House Business Committee (HBC) unanimously resolved that in view of the fact that we have already made it public that we ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank my hon. colleagues for this overwhelming support. I thought that this being a procedural Motion, there was actually no need to respond to debate. I thought the Question would simply be put. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to give a very firm undertaking, because the passion with which the hon. Member for Samburu East has put this Question, is very clear. I want him to rest assured that we will have to deal with this matter. I had originally said that, with your indulgence, it can be handled tomorrow afternoon, so that we can be absolutely sure that the Ministers are available to answer the Question. It could actually be put in for Thursday afternoon, it being understood that it could very well be the day when we will discuss other ... view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I give that undertaking. But as I said, if the Ministers are not around on Thursday afternoon, either myself or Dr. Sally Kosgei will deal with this matter. I want the hon. Member to rest assured that we are serious in this particular matter of our undertaking. I want to seriously seek your indulgence. view
• 14 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, talking to you now and addressing the House as an advocate of the High Court, there are obviously several issues that arise out of the communication you have just read. First of all, was this order served? I cannot answer that question right now. Was it served on the Government side? I also heard you say “until 24th November”. We are now on the 14th of December. Were these orders extended? These are issues that I cannot deal with right now. I do undertake that on Thursday, if the Ministers will not be here, I will ... view
